Bouy 11 KC 135 tanker, refuels aircraft. Anything with a K in front is for inflight refueling. Tankers mean fighters, which usually don't have transponders on.
the navy and marines owned a few kfirs in agressor squadrons awhile back.... but my best theory is it's another version of the fighters squaking as trainers to hide what they really are. 1 hunter,yeah, ok, could say it's some boomer going up for a joyride, but a dozen, definitely an op.
Just launched a Hawker Hunter F.58
Thats odd

“Odd” is definitely a word for that. I don’t think the U.S. military ever used those, right? Hell, aren’t they from the 70s anyway?
It’s turned off now
Old RAF bird. Plenty of those in private collections, one in Miami https://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivors.php
But tracking them you can see they took off from Jacksonville NAS, so probably are actually something else
Patrolling for something.
SCANNING for subs, perhaps
Looks like the Kc135 is Joined by a KC 10 out of New jersey called.... "X" https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae022c
civilian learjet in weird pattern nearby https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a65fa0
I've been seeing that callsign all day and wondering about it.
There's an E6 (nuke command) flying along the coast this afternoon too.
Also look at this its the weirdest thing I've seen: (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=010086)
Trying to draw a air penis. :D
Look at this plane, round & round 3 Hawker Hunter - F.58’s flying nearby https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ad9470
The hunters and kfirs are squaking as civilians
b/c they know that we know that fighters usually squawk as T38 trainers? Best Guess.
Search pattern with radar jamming ?
Wow, that got extra weird.
What in the world is it doing?
Meth, from the looks of it.
If I remember correctly, some KC-135s have additional surveillance capability.

Tick the A2A refuelling routes to give you a better idea of where they are refuelling?
Yeah his holding for fast air refuelling.
