There is some sort of large scale exercise currently underway in the NTTR. We get a lot of jet noise here in Rachel and ADSBExchange shows several AWACS and tankers in the Elgin MOA. Also up, several of the Draken Mirage's. Possibly related: The last couple of days I picked up a German Air Force Airbus 400 tanker (call ACME 5) and three GAF Tornados (ACME 1-3) during the daytime. The tanker was orbiting in the Reveille North MOA. Based on the frequency used the mission was in the R-4807A or R-4809 air space. There is no Red Flag currently going on. Possibly a larger than usual Green Flag mission.
