That is pretty strange. Wonder if it is actually the other way around? A military tanker identifying as a British Airways flight? Or just a weird mistake in the system?
So, is there some minor DS player on the plane who's in a pickle and about to be left to ferment for a period of time in jail until they become compliant?
Interesting. Don't know much about this stuff (nothing, really) but either someone's got a sense of humor or it means something. Can you explain a bit more for those of us who are not planefags?
Its a British Airways jet, which means it's a commercial flight, but it also says Military and 'interesting,' What's that all about? And who assigns the Radio Callsign? When it says that Bat91 is the callsign, what exactly does that mean? I know all planes have registration numbers (57-1441) but is the Bat91 also assigned to the plane in the same way as the numbers, or is that chosen by the owner and what does it signify if there is also a Radio callsign. Thanks if you're willing to answer.
The Gherkin is London’s most instantly recognisable tower. Totalling 500,000 sq ft, The Gherkin is an iconic structure housing a flourishing community and deserves its reputation for being ‘the most civilised skyscraper in the world’.
The KC-135 Stratotanker provides the core aerial refueling capability for the United States Air Force and has excelled in this role for more than 60 years. This unique asset enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary mission of global reach. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied nation aircraft. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.
Pickle farmers? This is odd. Good eye, OP
A British Airways Stratotanker???

What is a gherkin?
"It's a little cucumber that’s been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solution and left to ferment for a period of time."
