BLUE99 86-0032 KC-10 seems to be up from Lajes 10:10Z presume with the RETRO71-73

11:37 local RETRO-71 flight Southbound with ZDC at FL280 looking for higher.

MAZDA 11/21 flts, looks like they head North Europe

See the KC-10's from earlier today cut chicks loose off coast of Bodo Norway and
tankers headed South to UK...NATO deployment on the Northern flank or cold wx training?
Wiki says Bodo was closed after Norway got their F-35's but a SAR/Med chopper station still there.
Reason for F-35 move South given was noise would have been worse for local town. Hope they like F/18's

That's not TIS-B, that's an actual mode-S transponder. 000011 Wouldn't be surprised if it's NOBLE11.

You're right. It changed. It was a TIS-B target earlier. I made sure I looked at the aircraft list to see what transponder it was coming in on before I posted.

Been told the RETROs went to KJAX

Always found it interesting they use NJ and PA sites when talking to either ZDC or ZNY! I have never heard the sole DE site used. Probably because the NJ and PA sites are closer to Wilmington,DE

1003- Noble 11 flt working ZNY Millville (363.0) checking into the CAP. Wink 13 is current CAP tanker.

1014- Wink 13 working ZDC Modena (307.25) for clearance back to Pittsburgh.
