SpazSinbad, that route does seem to go rather a long way north and 10 hr is a loooong time to be in a FJ cockpit...

My route from CYHZ was via YQY YQX ALLRY 52N50W 55N40W 57N30W 58N20W 58N10W BEN then 'Refueler East' to LUK, with a Split Point at LEE before the landing at EGYM. Total Great Circle distance of 2607 nm. I also assumed that the formation would fly at FL270 / 320KIAS decelerating to 290KIAS for AAR, but that was just a WAG.
