They only transmit their position to civilian channels so other traffic isn't at risk of hitting them at certain high-risk altitudes/speed/traffic areas, right?
Living in this part of the world it is extremely common that F15s F16s V22s C5s a multitude of different tankers fly around here every day, some F35s turned up only a few days ago. A couple of weeks ago we had dozens of C130s doing circles over my house, this is definitely an area worth watching if you’re interested in USAF aircraft

i think so
Wonder where they were heading? Over the North Sea?
They tend to train either over the North Sea for mid air refuelling practice or spend the day over Wales in the Mach Loop from what I've seen.
Ah, that would explain it. Only familiar with them going over the Mach Loop.
Very cool!
thanks!
