Probably going to join the party near Gander. At least 5 tankers in the vicinity. I suspect there is a BIG flight headed West. Hopefully headed to our Airspace.
Mid-Air Refueling over Nova Scotia

Hope you're right!! The Stratotanker headed (eyeballing here) directly NE and really looked like they were using yhz as the turning point. Probably were since I think there'd be a navaid there. KC-10 is still visible heading about NNE. They didn't show until a few mins before they were overhead which is odd since for the last week I've had my PlanePlotter map on my PC zoomed out more than usual to take advantage of extra sharers and MLAT things to the SW of NS. It's like they didn't hit the switch until about Keji Park.

They are showing getting a lot closer to Yarmouth than they were here Look. You may see em. I could but just well enough to ID the KC-10 with a strong pair of binoculars.

Stupid PlanePlotter signal strength screwed me...I'm outside waiting...come back in and the signal strength is at 12...then 15...THEN 25! Rush out in time to hear them roaring overhead...into the sun. Nothing seen.
Oh well.
Meanwhile the comms continue.

Aw crap! I gave up on the signal in PlanePlotter. Still can't believe they broke it and don't seem to care. I just keep dump1090.bat visible too and refer to it for how close they are. It acts like the one in PlanePlotter used to before they killed it. It will say 45 and the one in pp will be like 11. Grr.

Possibly another chance. B73 is at 25,000 feet. A game of Battleship is going on. "Eh" is following every transmission Hahahahaha.

Heads up. A bobby showing on PlanePlotter again almost to you Look. Also B73 must have been close to the track, I had em at 60 sig.
OSY12F -Open Skies-(61-2670, OC-135B) is a scheduled visit. Came from Trenton (CYTR) Tuesday. Scheduled to leave today but went tech. I do not know what the problem is. Hopefully will depart tomorrow. Scheduled to go back to Trenton (CYTR).
Rgr Darryl turns out was a US Army UH-60 flying from Ft Drum area according to Ontario monitor.
Odd seeing a UH-60 full mode s tracking.. Also some McGuire KC-10's seem to be adding that feature as well.
Nice feature..
