TRAING RANGE (UTTR) and return to OFFUTT.]

[1412z+/-: ? AEC7C5 E6B launched from TINKER southeast bound to Mississippi
Delta then northeast through the South, then west, and then north to

TACAMO PAC; IMMORTAL.]

see 2043z.]

2042z: LONG BOW exited the net.
[At that time A30418 was approaching OFFUTT from the north.]

[2034z+/-: ? AFE62F E6B launched from TINKER and flew east through the
southern Midwest then to the Southeast, and then back west.]

2043z: APPRAISAL (presumed E6B) called and raised MAINSAIL to (re)enter the
net.
2046z: APPRAISAL entered the net.
[No launch from OFFUTT was seen on ADSB mapping sites. Launch time would
correlate to the 2034z AFE62F launch from TINKER. Either APPRAISAL launched
"dark" from OFFUTT; or APPRAISAL is perhaps a "mission" callword that was
taken by AFE62F at launch. There are other possibilities...]
