    I was tracking the 'FR 24' app and watching the air traffic for several days. Lots of USAF and reserve aircraft. That was the only time I have seen them recognize and describe a US military aircraft.
    You could track the re-fuelers and recon aircraft circling areas around the base and a few MiL-24 copters wondering around.

    Very cool tracking hardware out there.
    Yup, winglets.
    That was a really nice way of saying I was mistaken. Thank you : )

    Ive been spending more time around bases so I get excited by everything & am still learning to identify. Wearing my glasses & having a decent camera would've helped. That sucker seemed huge.

    C17 makes more sense around here. There was something flying around in the logs with a call sign associated with the airlift command with the call sign 'Reach' so there's some info available if I dig around.

    Have a business account with fr24. Good stuff. Giggle
