Hi Sandy,
Yep, we get out fair share of US military and almost all of them are "pop-ups"(at least, the westbounds are) that intrude at the most inconvenient of times.
And for the record, we had 38 aircraft on East sector frequency at one time on Dec 12, 2009, a sector that only deals with non-radar equipped, surrounding sectors. Granted, it's a big sector, but no-one should be handling those numbers. It's certainly not boasting because we recognise our inability to adequately deal with such numbers; rather, it's a heads-up as to what you'll be walking into if you come here. You won't be bored, that's for real!
We are trying to sectorise some more but we're waiting for new staff. Sounds like we might be blessed with the very best in the world from Bulgaria
