Friday evening, 17:40 EST, 2 DC-10 heavies showed up over Lake Erie not too far from me.  For some reason they keep timing out and coming back, I have good coverage there so not too sure why, especially at the altitude they are at...

Catched two of them here in Spain too, maybe they forgot to turn off mode-s.

Cheers.
