0404z 06 Jan 26

UTC 05 Dec 26

Another very busy day.

As with yesterday TACAMO LANT, TACAMO PAC and the Gulf E6B were active with
restoral/VLF traffic.
The Gulf E6B out of OFFUTT (ABNCP?) and TACAMO LANT were flying under their
static hex.
As has been the recent case, TACAMO PAC is apparently Due Regard (not
visible on ADSB mapping sites).
