The above shows this mornings track.
The route can vary by about 30 miles either side of that shown depicted by the range rings.
As always certain data has been redacted and only half the frames are included in the animation to reduce file size.

Was told by a fellow FC'r it was 085 and it looks like it on my video, although the numbers are difficult to make out due to the poor light. 085 was the one which transited Fairford in March with lots of art work on its way back to the US presumably for Depot Maintenance.

Hard to see in the light, but it was definitely 80-1085. Cheers!

Only in so far as it was at FL600 and using transopnder hex code AE094B and was out of Palmdale on the 04/12/20. I have this hex code as matching the tail number I posted.
Maybe it is incorrect, these things happen.
