N613TC...is this a legit ADS-B hit? Comes back as not registered. It appeared a little while ago appearing to route from the Willow Grove area while 614TC is still circling South Philly.

Just looked at FAA site...N613TC is aka N6971A, also "T A F Y Consulting". N number change requested in December 2015.

 

[mdmonitor]

1410 EDT- ADS-B shows Taboo 06 (KC-135R # 57-2606 IA ANG 185ARW/174ARS Sioux City IA) approaching Philly CAP from the west.

ADS-B also showing Taboo 05 heading back home to New Hampshire.

Looks like Viper 3 & 4 are having some refueling problems. One of them says his left tank is only filling up to 500 lbs then shutting off.

Good to know that one is still using the old code. I've edited the record for it on adsbexchange and tagged it.

168129 is displayed with a plane symbol on adsbexchange instead of a helo symbol.

 

[freqhopping]

168129 is displayed with a plane symbol on adsbexchange instead of a helo symbol.

Adsbexchange works first by accessing a local database, then the PlaneBase database. If neither has an entry or an incomplete entry a generic plane symbol is displayed until one of the databases is updated with details. I think the local db updates at 0000Z.

 

[Mark]

Logged AE4FD1 here 1500 feet to 2000 feet at 1:45pm local showing FFAB123 which is normal for new delivery callsign for Navy SH-60 types out of Sikorsky in Stratford Connecticut.
Assumed was normal delivery flight.. They usually go down to Norfolk and or eventually San Diego.
Never catch them again around here..

Rgr Ron was BARTOK 99 Hungarian based NATO SAC C-17 #08-0003 but most data just list tail as #03 .. inbound McGuire for uploads from Texas area it seems.
Only req 10k fuel but maybe that will change.. Yank pilot on CP radio for sure..
