Yeah been looking around also and nothing US Mil matches up with flight to the Far East.
Maybe did commercial to Japan or Seoul? First Class ticket on KAL would be nice ride and low key.

KC-10s spotted in ND too.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed, That GRIMM squad containing 8 or more KC-10A Extender Tankers that has been mentioned in this thread, I picked it up on my ADSB radar over northeast South Dakota... Between 7 and 11pm CST 4/19/2018.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zHFM3LGb2Y&feature=youtu.be

This was picked up using an SDR ADSB radar - with air-audio added.. I screen capped it and uploaded it..(quality not the best). what is strange is their ADSB transponder suddenly turned on at 24000 feet.. its a bit shady..

Flight data can be accessed under the reporting module menu<reports..

It's a matter of them being within range of the stations feeding the data for multilateration. A location won't be determined and plotted until there are at least three stations receiving it simultaneously.
