Possible KC-10 Bobby flight over Halifax.

Yessir...may wanna try 378.200. Reported as active earlier. I never expected them to go this far north. The previous flight looked to head straight out to the East..

 

[darrylcn]

Sighted a fair bit north of the track. Didn't see anything but the KC-10 heading NE.

Hi Guys,

FWIW

388.4 Bobby 71 - Cube 21 x4 F-16s
378.2 Bobby 81 - Cube 31 x4 F-16s

Cube flts air-air

138.55
139.9
141.15
143.7

The Cube flts orbited at Nantucket for more than an hour waiting for their tanker(s) to show, it appears their tanker was a ground abort.

The Cube flt diverted to KBTV.
Maybe again tomorrow morning or Friday morning???

I think one group may have made it out.
BOBBY 72 KC-10 logged Spain 2015z
BOBBY 71,81 both rtb 22ARW as tanker support this side of pond
Guessing BOBBY 82 KC-10 was a no show so assume some CUBES divert to KBTV

98-0057 at 33,000 feet a few mins ago over my house:

Wow...is that your telescope arrangement?

 

[darrylcn]

Sure is! Man if I could get it under AR-020 they'd be almost TWO MILES lower.

BOBBY82 had some maintenance issue and was grounded at Pease.
Hoping to catch the others on their outbound flight.

Poss fighter trainer (?) orbiting Cole Harbour at low altitude. Hard to say with my vision and bright overcast. Nothing on plane finder.

 

[darrylcn]

Any guesses?

It's C-FOTA. Not sure what they're up to but they've been doing a paperclip shaped orbit for almost a couple hours now.

 

[darrylcn]

I think they have lended since I haven't had any contact for about five minutes now.

 

[isuse]

Thanks for filling in some blanks Darryl. Definitely the same plane, and I'm guessing they were tooling around at about 1200 ft.
