AE6A6E active now and showing N630LA. That's an AT-6C. I figured that was a good possibility for what it is.

1709- Just heard on LiveATC IDing as 630LA.

Thanks Airscan. SPUR 69 is heading East over NY right now. Possibly heading to meet them on their return. I checked my recordings and did catch them going East this morning. Here's what I caught on tape:

0905z 360.600 TIGER 21 flight wkg ZBW, "push 307.0"
0905z 307.000 TIGER 21 (x2) check in with ZBW, flight of two 3nm non-standard formation in the block 350-360 direct CARAC>JEBBY>43N 50W>43N 40W>flight plan route.
0930z 341.750 TIGER flight A-A.
0933z 368.500 TIGER 21 (x2) check in with Moncton Center (ZQM) in the block 350-360 3nm.

Note: No mask sounds heard. 21 was male pilot, 22 was female. That's all I had from early this morning. Hope we catch them on return.

PORGY is way up there, but who knows given the weird route they took back last time ? Thanks for the log.

That is up there so maybe Northern route home to meet SPUR's?
Lajes becoming B-2 favorite spot lately.. Assume they can go Eastbound to Lajes without any tankers?
PORGY waypoint | OpenNav
1723 Hearing TIGER 21 on 6622 weak and hard to read here.. Just had some more route instructions readback I think.
CELLO waypoint | OpenNav
Several BOBBY tankers out West circled LA area and dragged someone up to the Northwest..
