11:45Z Cube 51 active on Atlantic city ground

Received taxi clearance
Cube 51 airborne on the hour - sounds like 4 jets but they have a KC- 10 so I may have been mistaken

Cube 61 also mentioned

Not sure what is going on?

According to Adsb it's a C.5 ??
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Think it is a mis-code for AE05A6 = Niagara Falls-based KC-135R 62-3533

And another KC-135R 62-3580 out of Niagara Falls, although a tat high (FL350), seems to have joined the ranks. Ah, descended now to a receiving altitude.

They have got a reservation. It just hasn't been communicated in a Notam for today.
