00.06 Thud?15 (2-ship ? US), sq 4015. Malta ATC: “confirm 2nd aircraft is Thud?16”. Could this be the same flight as the one accompanying Mobil36 at 19.58, Thunder15/16 (did they shorten their callsign)? Think these are actually the “Pod” flights from Aviano I heard earlier this week/month.

Picked up this aircraft today Thud 15 heading to Aviano fl 290 and squawking 4015
