Hi David,

Looking at Flightradar 24 it was N498MC, it departed NTL at 1340 to Honolulu. Currently around 3 1/4 hours from Honolulu.

Thanks Stefan ... This aircraft operated a couple of EMA-AVV rotations I believe over the last week in support of the F1 race . I did see it on FR24 out of AVV ? earlier in the day . Once again many thanks ..

Yes it was Jayden, In an interesting twist there are a couple F-16's still at Williamtown that have gone tech, that didn't leave with the main group on Sunday.
