Sounds like SURF to me California no doubt.
SURF = F-15C, 194th FS/144th FW CA ANG at Fresno ANG base.

2010z B747 82-8000 westbound from Andrews prob to McCarran Airport for rtb Andrews for tomorrow I assume.
Need the big plane for that trip :) Potus schedule has him staying at Trump Hotel Vegas tonight unless something
else comes up.

SURF 31-32 got RTB clearance back to March (RIV). Reception was poor, hard to make out the type when pointed out as traffic, once it sounded like F-15s but then the second time it sounded like F-18s ?

Don't see any tankers running CAP support around Reno but the 2 AWACS are back loitering.
