2030 local BOBBY 31 KC-135 62-3544 North westbound from Mcguire FL36k.
Leading the way a KC-10 79-1949 showing 0 for callsign..may be related another BOBBY.
Maybe dodging bad wx off Lake Erie as both moving more Northbound at FL38k into Canada.
BOBBY used to be popular Europe Altrav callsign but checking lately for the past year seems more Pacific related now,
Guess both off to Elmendorf for now.
