Callsign of the day
Callsign "Lightening"
WSOs briefed the weather during flight brief. Listed on sign out board occasionally next to weather was "Lightening FL 200". So this new WSO briefed that lightening was at FL 200. Ok, that was part of the WSO briefings, too. But then he asked me after the brief how the weather man knew there was going to be lightening at only that altitude. I told him that was the name of the tanker refueling track in use and the altitude being used.
