doing boom test checks A/A squad 268.025 SPUR 41,42 ACC tanker callsigns.

I show Shuck81 (77-0352) and Hoist90 (86-0035, KC-10A). 2208Z
As reported, HOIST85 has been cleared by Moncton Ctr to refuel with SHUCK81.
Can't always believe what PlanePlotter indicates. (2247Z)

Checking my tape heard SHUCK 81 2208z mention "140 miles West of Boston
CT has slipped 10 minutes to 2240z on AR20"
HOIST 85 86-0035 showing older callsign HOIST 90. KC-10 guys do that a lot.

BLUE38 Heading East
BLUE38 (63-8873, KC-135R)has departed Bangor and is dragging a couple of German Airforce Tornados (JBG-33?) back home. Fighter A-A is 243.800 and Boom freq is 236.750
1120Z.
I'm thinking these guys may have gone directly East and bypassed Nova Scotia. 1140Z
I'm told they filed direct Germany...so should have passed overhead.

PlanePlotter updates
For those of you in Nova Scotia using PlanePlotter, you may have noticed a new Ground Station has appeared.
Located just West of Sydney, NS is user 'xK'.
This is great news as it fills a huge gap between St Johns, Nfld and Nova Scotia.
This should help in predicting arrivals over Halifax...especially on the AR-20SW track.
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zcgDx8DQ_SVU.kNCwVt6r1sRo&authuser=0&hl=en
PS: Don't forget to update your PlanePlotter to (v6.4.2.7) and if you have the mobile app...there was a recent upgrade (v1.0.6) released as well. And one more thing...the official PlanePlotter Forum has moved. Unfortunately you have to re-register...but it should be ok'd within a day. http://planeplotterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=register

Peach68/lima16 ar20-sw
As I was writing the previous post, LIMA16 (63-8003,KC-135R, NJ ANG, 141ARS [KWRI]) was checking with Moncton Centre on the whereabouts of PEACH68. I found him off of Newfoundland heading for Sydney. Switched to Moncton Ctr 118.600 at 1616Z
So there may be some activity on AR20-SW soon.
PEACH68 (92-3290, E-8C JSTARS) is now showing on Sharer xK (Sydney, NS) at FL230 with LIMA16 at FL264 (1648Z)

Nice catch..Lots of westbound AR20SW Reservations for next 24 hours.
Odd one here this morning.
1500z HOIST 91 79-1947 and HOIST 92 84-0186 off McGuire Southeast bound it seems.
Not sure where they are headed for the weekend.

Wow...I never checked for updates...three more.
