First Civilian KC-135R N573MA - Meta Aerospace
Scramble was among the first to notice the appearance of all four ex-RSAF KC-135Rs, which are now registered N569MA, N571MA, and N572MA, on the U.S. civil register just last week. FAA's online records show the registrant for N572MA and N573MA as "Wilmington Trust Co Trustee," with an address in Wilmington, Delaware. The entries for N569MA and N571MA show that formal approval of their registrations is still pending.

Dunno who the new buyer of Singapore’s KC-135 are, but whoever it is has a sense of humour in naming N573MA “Timothy Dalton”.

Omega picked up that last retired Netherlands KDC-10 as well so the private fuelers are getting bigger.Notice in the vid it parks next to Omega tanker and Amazon freighters

ACY2404 & No Callsign C-17 (RCH8194 ADSB) 00:06. Meybe joining EDDIE99?
The C-17 was RCH 790, the 8194 was from the previous flight, they appeared to change it to the correct number shortly after that. Not related to the EDDIE flight.
EDDIE 99 was following EDDIE 98, at the time they were not MARSA but for some reason EDDIE 98 did not show up on ADSB-X. The routing for both was over SLATN then Oceanic on an ALTRV to meet up with RCH 581 and RCH 955 which both of which did not show up on ADBS-X. The RCH's were going to descend down to FL200/FL220 at SLATN so maybe Hercs ? (couldn't hear them on the frequency).
An hour before that there was also MASH 92 routing over SLATN for an ALTRV to meet up with RCH 116 and possibly RCH 157, again both not showing up on ADSB-X. New York was asking MASH if they were part of the ALTRV but I couldn't really make out the name. Sounded like he was saying the "Trifecta Profit 3 ALTRV" ??? LiveATC Audio
581 was AE0158 which would if correct make it a KC-135
Consecutive numerics would suggest to me that they were for the same receiver(s) and they appear to have departed after REACH581 landed at Pittsburgh.
The download kml function of advert exchange would probably be good to check this (well apart from the totally OTT tracking carp it wants to spam onto your device) ...select all three aircraft, download the tracks and then play the track through using the time slider in gargoyle earth

VIP Movement Summary 19 Nov:
Canforce 01 (A-310 # 15001) ADW-Ottawa (Prime Minster's acft)
SAM 618 (C-37 # 18-1947) ADW-Miami
BAF 659 (Belgian AF A-400 CT-01) ADW-Halifax NS
SAM 716 (C-37 # 99-0402) ADW-Omaha NE (Offutt AFB)
Canforce 01 (A-310 # 15001) ADW-Ottawa (Prime Minster's acft)
SAM 618 (C-37 # 18-1947) ADW-Miami
BAF 659 (Belgian AF A-400 CT-01) ADW-Halifax NS
SAM 716 (C-37 # 99-0402) ADW-Omaha NE (Offutt AFB)
Tracked them down. RCH 581 was C-17 10-0221. RCH 955 was C-17 10-0222. RCH 116 was C-17 10-0215 with a brief hit on ADSB-X going by Gibraltar. All 3 C-17s departed from KNTU. If you scroll back through the track histories the inbound flights to KNTU were also blocked. (RCH 157 was unrelated). EDDIE 98 only showed up on its return. Still confused by the name of the ALTRV ? "Trifecta Profit 3" ? Horse racing fans ?

Strange that there would be two aircraft using the REACH581 callsign so close together in time. One REACH581 routed Geilenkirchen to Pittsburgh (data for AE0158 :v 01/Y/MC/0112/19/ETNG/KPIT/0755/0921/RCH581)
However:
data for AE4F15 : - #MDFTX/ID00221A,RCH581,AAM6992Z1324/MR0,/FXNEW ARCT FOR RCH 581 AND RCH 955 IS 1230 PER KC-135S. LAGR 748 AND 749 APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES BEHIND DUE TO WINDS. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE.B5F5
LAGER748/749 were out of Mildenhall but noted was also a LAGER747 out of Moron probably related

0855- Second flt of Nobles entering the Blue Hen CAP. Zombie 12 (KC-10 # 83-0082) is CAP tanker.
Update: Not a second flt of Nobles. It's just Noble 22 who is replacing Noble 02 who is RTB'ing to Langley with some sort of issue. So CAP is now Noble 01 & Noble 22. Nobles A-A is 263.2.
0912- Noble 02 working Ops (226.75) reporting issues w/radar, autopilot & targeting pod.
Noble 01 & 22 "push 4 aux". Lost them after that.
