AZAZ0909 up out of SYRIA
Note AZAZO909 normally USAF callsign for a C560…this bird is a RUSSIAN Ilyusin II-82 operated by Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Pretty interdasting…….
UK RC135W and a NATO E-3 AWACS look to be stationed over Poland, with a refueler orbiting nearby.
USAF B-52 Stratofortress headed out to North Sea…callsign FEAR21
PF note: seems a little busy over EU skies this morning.
Super stallion says there's a STORM21 brewing.
USAF WC-135W Constant Phoenix orbiting Baltic Sea off the coast of Estonia.
Constant Phoenix is a Nuke sniffer.
"The WC-135 Constant Phoenix is a special-purpose aircraft derived from the Boeing C-135 Stratolifter and used by the United States Air Force. Its mission is to collect samples from the atmosphere for the purpose of detecting and identifying nuclear explosions. It is also informally referred to as the "weather bird" or "the sniffer" by workers on the program and international media respectively."
My guess is Houston, TX.
UK RC135W Rivet Joint, NATO E-3 AWACS, US Nuke Sniffer and B-52 continue their respective orbits over EU. Several refuelers orbit and tag-team over Poland assuming to keep the Rivet Joint and E-3 in the air continuously.
