For all you PlanePlotter users in the NE USA / Canadian EastCoast area...here is the link to my Google Maps showing all current Sharers in the area (Including Greenland and Bermuda!).
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zcgDx8DQ_SVU.kNCwVt6r1sRo
This map is searchable but it is a bit difficult to use. Play around with it (you can't break it) and it can help a lot when you want to know where a flight is coming from or going to.
If you find it cluttered, the layers can be toggled on or off.
It also has some of the most popular reporting/waypoints listed. Again, it is searchable.
It is accurate (in terms of the Sharers location Database) as of Mar29th.
Hope this helps some of you.

GOLD13, (83-0081,KC-10) showing with Sharer 'DI' north of Boston.
Also, looks like our old friend SNOOP55 (RC-135W 62-4138) is in the air. Probably the receiver for tonight's refuel.

And....ETHYL55 (62-3547, KC-135R) is in the air.
SNOOP55 is in the descent now at FL270.
MARSA declared @ 0023Z on AR20-NE
Swapped tail codes at 0033Z. Should be overhead my station (CYQI) soon.
Looks like they passed overhead (FL260) at 0050Z...over to the Halifax stations now.
Obviously the Boom Interphone is working tonight. The usual SNOOP comms...few and far between.
Hmmm...AR completed at 0052Z. That was quick.

It's been reported that 14 A-10s landed late today (March31st) at Westover (KCEF) AFB.
Posted March 30th by Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler's on her FB page: "My thoughts & prayers go w/ the 442nd from WAFB being deployed today for 6 mths. in Afghanistan w/ A-10's. So proud of them. Godspeed."
Probably will not be in my airspace, but could provide some comms near Halifax on the way over.

I'm guessing here...but they usually have a rest period of at least a day after a cross country trip.
I'm also getting some comms here on AR-20 secondary (349.700) and 140.175.
Could they be the NJ ANG F-16s? (1338Z)

I had F-16s out of ACY working the Warren Grove range around 1600Z. WEASEL and DEVIL flights. Their usual interplane (lately) has been 140.7, 339.725 and 140.175 as you mentioned above. Don't recall if they went up for gas since I was in and out of the room.

I had Ethyl 81, 58-0030, at 15,800 feet overnight according to my logs. I was the only sharer it looked like when that email was sent, were they over Halifax an waaaay low for some reason? I don't think its typical to be less than 19,000 feet if I recall.

As a matter of fact there was. The refueling with the C-17 (RCH225 07-7180) didn't go so well. As a result the tanker was left to burn off 100K of fuel. He was below FL150 when he went by me heading home. The C-17 diverted to Bangor.

And now we know the rest of the story... The Aviationist » No, six F-22 stealth fighters are not deploying anywhere near Russia
