Title: KC-135 USAF tankers
Post by: SoCal Mac on February 07, 2025, 07:16:06 AM
Not seeing KC-135 tankers anymore on my screen. Only getting the S mode data. Have they turned of their ADS-B equipment. Seem like this started around Jan. 2025 before that I had them on my screen all the time. Still getting the KC-46A's when they pass thru my area.

Thanks,

Mac

I've picked up 22 x KC-135 since 1st January 2025.  All had previously transmitted positional data.

Of these, 18 still were and only 5 weren't. 

Typically these types sometimes do send postional data, other times they don't.
