Thanks for the heads-up Piet. Looks like RCH83 flew McDill-Bangor and landed just now, not dragging anything over.

Routing looks like inbound Lajes. ALTRV from Lajes should go via Anava and be found via LPPO.

Cheers,
Ranger

[Rick!?]

I could be wrong but looking at the waypoints I'd say the routing is in northeastern direction so outbound? 4000N02300W is 200 NM northeast of Lajes and the last point NILAV is at 4500N01325W 530 NM to the northeast of Lajes.
