Was fun watching these takoff and land when I was working on the flight line.
Bet they get a good view from so high.

Well, that's impressive. The tracking line went to dots as that indicates it's out of coverage and estimated. Then it simple stayed in the same spot for the past 10 minutes. So my guess is it is now so hight it's out of coverage and cannot be estimated. Pretty neat.

And one more refresh and POOF! it's vanished.

I got to fly in corporate type jets a couple of times. It’s pretty amazing at 43,000 feet to look down and see the common folks in their Delta or AA winged buses.

Friday was busy day. I found:

2 - C130s
6 - KC135 tankers
1 - E3 Sentry
2 - E4Bs
1 - RC135 Rivet Joint
2 - C17 Globemasters
A bunch of T38 Talons
And that U2.

EDit: And 3 KC10 tankers

Now that's a good fleet for balloon searches
And that is one big lot of tankers.

How do you find these flights Moss?

I go onto Flghtradar and pick something interesting (large or unusual) and I'm on the free version.

We are close to Portsmouth NH where the new KC-46 is based and see and hear a lot of interesting planes in the sky but nothing shows on Flightradar.

I hear noise, check the app and say "yep a couple T38's... and that U2 isn't showing up on the app as usual"

but then I'm right down the road from the base...
