Requesting weather for EGQL ( Leuchars Station) and EGUL (RAF Lakenheath).
GOLD12 looking for clearance to KPSM from Boston Center 1009z
Refueling at 1020Z
Passing airliner asked what military activity is going on nearby... "looks like 5 aircraft refueling?"
Moncton tight-lipped about it. Pilot responds, "Oooo...a secret!" 1023z

EDIT: Corrected Flight to RETRO63-66 (instead of 63-65) as heard at my station. My apologies.

Ultimate destination is Khamis Mushait (sp?) to join 55 Sqn, the F-15SA training unit.

They haven't arrived yet! And you need an umbrella not a coat.

It is that gloomy already in South Lincolnshire that you may need a searchlight let alone a torch.
