A C-17 with this callsign departed Leuchars at 1315ish local showing on ADS-B as CB-8011 heading west over the pond! Assume this is the same airframe. But did anyone go and read it off?

It would seem C-17 00-0184 is using an incorect Hex code (800E63) in addition to it's correct one; AE08BE.

Unless of course both C-17s have been in ;-)
