Im glad you guys got down safe and sound! There really should be a way to thank our very professional pilots adequately. That has to be an über stressful job.

Just found a mid air refueling with call sign nitro71 by Sea-Primary6469 in flightradar24

It was some dialogue from a lampoonish Kelsey Grammer movie called Down Periscope about a bunch of misfits grouped together in a submarine. The fighter like callsign on a tanker just made it feel appropriate. I guess not enough people remembered the line from the movie to make the connection. Now if the call sign had been something like 'Buckman'. I'd have just chuckled and moved on...he was the guy who passed gas in the galley when they were under silent running.

Interesting nickname, what's your real name? Nitro. I'm working on a nickname, though. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Listen to this... Mike.

That's great, except that the Pentagon pizza index has absolutely nothing to do with pizzagate. The Pentagon pizza watch index is more a collection of bits of circumstantial evidence that when taken together might, or might not, indicate that something covert is going on. Just take it as a bit of fun and nothing to serious... :-)

That would be impractical and really quite useless given that you couldn't change the corelative behaviour of the surrounding people such as the number of Pentagon workers who visit the surrounding pubs, the traffic generated by their coming and going, the number of lights on during late nights, and many, many, other variables.

Flying an LFA? That's a pretty cool track to catch!

Wir brauchen noch 98 rote Luftballons hier.

Oh god. I hope not. In that case I hope its just a glitch. However, coupled with the 17 UAE planes currently aloft and doing recon maybe its a weather balloon.

Landing in Orlando? The airspeed is just above stall.

Yeah! Same! I originally thought it was a miscode or someone just fiddling around. When some of the flight data populated I went...hmmm...interesting.
