Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it!

What I think maybe what Dave was looking at was the way the little blue track arrows swing around off course in lemme's Google Earth rendering of the additional ADS-B data:

The .csv data in the .xlsx file linked above shows a consistent track along the runway but when you display the corresponding .kmz file with Google Earth, the arrows seem to swing around as you zoom in and play with the tilt on my Windows based web browser. You zoom back out and the arrows line up with the runway once more.
