KC-135 58-0010 AE0499 BANKR 30

This was SPUR 95 yesterday, WRI-BGR. Odd they would run it up to BGR just to come back to the DC area the next day ? Update 1 - and now BANKR 31, K10A 83-0079, just off BGR (ex SPUR 94). First time I've seen a KC-10 do a CAP. Update 2 - BONDI 75, a couple of K10A's off WRI.

1005 - BATON55 (EC-130J, 01-1935) talking to BATON53 on Baton Ops (395.1) on the ground, advising they have icing at 6000’ and 53 might ax their flight later...

1034 - BATON53 (EC-130J, 99-1933) off KMDT (124.1)

That's what I thought when I looked up it's history on ADSB-X but it doesn't surprise me

The way they seem to move tankers all over the place I guess it doesn't really surprise me either. Listening to the BONDI flight on ZNY 133.500, doing the usual AR777 stuff, and the pilot mentioned something about getting used to these "weird callsigns".

Looks like Bankr 31 is making its way south, slowly but surely. It seems Bankr 30 is already in my area (at least that’s what I thought I heard) as they keep calling for them.

Very interesting! Did BANKR 30 return to McGuire or Bangor? I'll have to check my logs here.
