[MilCom] OT: I have 3 aircraft on my dongle with the "HIBAL" call-sign and all are pushing 70, 000 feet

[Roger Strohmeyer]

Yeah, I was on filght24 earlier today and noticed a HIBAL floating south
east over the Sierra's. I also noticed that flight24.com "times out" after
a half an hour and wants you to buy a "premium membership". :-(

Thanks for the link explaining the Google balloon testing....(even though
I've lost a lot of trust in them) ;-)
