I first heard that callsign on 2 June. Tankers RUBY 37 and  RUBY 38 were in 
this area (Central FL) from about 8pm to midnite.  They  were loitering and 
awaiting receivers.  It took quite long for the  receivers to arrive. At 11:23pm 
(0323z) they were informed by a phone patch  that the first receiver group 
would AAR at 0535z, and the second  at 0600z.  RUBYs were hoping the AARs could 
be done near the MacDill area  so they would be able to get sufficient gas 
there to perform the required  upload.  Sounded like a Coronet operation to me.
