Oh, I see. So when the op said there are no other planes visible, he was suggesting that there were actually a number of planes and the refuelers were for them. I get it now. Thanks for elucidating.
Sorry, that is basically it. There are a large number of 'Gas Stations' flying around ready to refuel fighters/Helos/whatever but those aircraft can turn off their transponders and we cannot see them, only the MIL can.
There are a lot of them up in the air and there is a reason for it, we just do not know why. If you click on the plane icon you can see their travel history,
Thanks. Sorry to be a pest, the plane stuff is new to me and I find it fascinating. But how does one know which ones are the refuelers? And I just now saw a bunch of grayed out plans, the details saying, 'on ground.' Maybe the refuelers have landed. If not, what might those grayed out planes be? Thanks if you answer.
