Don't think so. Tony G just said that the C-17s callsign was CANFORCE...

But may have been?

Thanks though.

If anyone was just listening to the Richmond approach, another aircraft just came into land...couldnt quite catch the callsign...i think Stork or something along those lines, ending with 71.

Anyone got any info on this?

The USAF 757 02-4452 has call sign BORG71 on ModeS.

The Canadian C-17 arrived earlier at RIC (around 4pm) and his since flown to Sydney as CANFORCE 3686.

Busy day!!

Popped out to RIC this morning to log the 757 (around 0830); just as well as it departed about 15 minutes ago still showing BORG71 as flight no.
