Should be a couple of B-2s heading for AR20, before going across the pond. Call signs FOWL 11/12. Next AR will be with QUID 90/91 out of Mildenhall.

B-2s!!! HOLY CRAP!

They were south of the track, juuuust slightly inland of the coast. They went right over the MacDonald bridge, if I had to eyeball their rough track.

Correct callsign this morning was TABOR 61 and TABOR 71 A-10 flights enroute Lajes.
Supposedly off to Spangdahlem after Lajes.
They almost always use TABOR with CLEAN Coronet tanker callsign.
Been a couple years since logging CLEANS here..

Noticed the B-2's tanked at FL300,a little higher than most mil A/R's. :)
Missed them as was at work but
guess the good news is they will rtb later tonight back at Whiteman

Thanks again for the info Mark. I wasn't able to listen to the A-10s (although I haven't reviewed my recordings).
There was a bit of excitement when I found out the SPIRITs were local.
