I very rarely watch civilian flights outside of the northeast so that would explain why I never noticed it before. Thanks for yours and everyone elses help. There is so much to learn. I am always blown away with the knowledge here. I have learned so much and have so much more to learn.

If you watch standard refueling operations you will notice the receivers track usually disappears after they hook up.
Also after joining up in formation it's common to hear ATC request that the wingman squawk standby. Although it doesn't always seem to be a standard procedure and at times you will sometimes see two or more together. I'm guessing it has something to do with it being a standard vs non standard formation and the in trail distance ?
It appears the BUFF tracks where based on MLAT fixes and not ADS-B. I'm not familiar with ADSB-X MILAT capabilities so I'm not sure why they only got a couple fixes on them westbound when they appeared to be able to track them better on the eastbound leg ?
Sorry more questions than answers, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in.
You have way more info than I ever will so no worries. I wonder if the proximity make for mixed messages. I also wonder if they play into the anti-collision programs on the planes.
