My first post on here. I was sitting outside my gliding club having a beer after a couple of hours mowing grass, when I saw what looked like a four-jet contrail heading towards me from the southwest.
I assumed it might be a 747 freighter although that would be an unusual route around here. Normally I see them heading to or from Anchorage. FR24 told me it was a KC135R at 37000’, presumably heading across the pond.
interestingly the departure airfield was shown as KGEG, Spokane International. I think it is much more likely it came from Fairchild AFB, which is a few miles to the west.
If it is a trans-Atlantic flight, I estimate it will be over the UK sometime between 0800 and 0830 BST. I'll be asleep. It would be interesting to see if anyone can pick it up.
