11.06 CFC4319 CC150 15004 pinging on the ground. Flightplan says PIK - Goose Bay.

Looks like a 1200z departure with the 4 remaining hornets?

EDIT: Just taking the runway for a RW30 departure @ 11.52

You can upload to a free image hoster like Imagebam or Imgur. Then you can post the BBcode links it provides.

Another thanks Muscat. I got some pics but the light was garbage and impossible to make the reg out. Annoyingly he taxied away from the Navy site, positioned himself out of view behind the Alaska C17 then took off to the East.
