I was on Woodward in front of the Fox Theater in my car when they flew overhead. Didn't think to try for a photo until after they had gone over.

That KC-10 came out of San Francisco area yesterday as GUCCIE42. Looks like they spent the night at Alpena. I think TENT 22 did also as he shows at 5100ft a few minutes ago south of Alpena. I have not heard at radio traffic yet. I must not have 276.5 in my scanner. Thanks Chuck :)

GUCCIE sounds better. He was working AR-109 further north west earlier. That makes sense that he came from Alpena, because he just popped up out of nowhere in northern MI.

JEEP 41-42 working in Viper airspace earlier with VTANG F35s, boom 276.500. I was trying to find their tanker A-A frequency.

The only one I'm aware of is 228.125 but nothing heard. What other freqs might they use ?
