just checking out Uk and Europe on 360 Radar and noticed Madras 69 out of Prize. It's now on the West of Scotland Towline. Also spotted Turkish A.F. KC 135 R, TURAFf 11, indicating FL 600+ @334Kt. That changed rapidly to a descent rate of 88,000 ft/min to FL 11. Now indicating 1200' at a descent rate of 22,000 FPM. It's amazing what they've done with these old airframes really. Hope the crew chiefs got a spare transponder in the pack up.

Madras looks to be part of an exercise.

It's not a Lossie QRA launch at all, the Voyager is refuelling UK & USMC F-35Bs from the carrier 'Queen Elizabeth'!

Isn’t Joint Warrior ongoing at the moment?
