Me and XP were wondering where the AWACS would be coming from, over Libya.

Probably the Murkins

Thought I heard the tristar was tanking with a VC10?? :-?

Some AWACS have been out there a while I tracked one on Live-mode a while ago and one came back last w/e he flew right over my head on approach.
