Thanks for the ID Joe! GAUKEE/GAWKEE was conducting aerial refueling
with SODA 81 on the Montgomery track around 1230 EST today. I thought
it could be a SpecOps bird due to the altitude block (7000-9000 feet)
and the boom freq (369.9). It was unusual to hear these guys refueling
during the daytime, they normally like to do it in the dark.

How about GAWKY for the spelling, which the dictionary defines as
awkward or ungainly. Kinda describes a Herky bird.
