many R2 series strings of varying character counts that contain quads and
end with a clear 18/quad/9 grouping):

[1257z: VOLAR 02 (to fly; or Vietnam era Volunteer Army) AFEF5F E6B
launched from OFFUTT and went off ADSB mapping sites. Reappeared 2118z
south of TINKER, then north to OFFUTT 2257z+.]

[1445z+/- maybe; ? AF54BB E6B per ADSBExchange gives the appearance of
climbing out of RENO, NV airport and then flying eastbound.]

[The restoral session below is interesting because it begins around 0800
PDT, a "morning" session, when over the recent  past these sessions are
afternoon and early night sessions. The session also contained multiple SE
strings; and the session lasted 4 hours instead of a "normal" 2."  They
were up to something.  It's also midsummer exercise season.]
