This is just another small correction. I have
also seen (with small binoculars and in some
cases without magnification) the following
other ones in that position:
24936, 97-050A, GE 3 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
25954, 99-060A, GE 4 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
28446, 04-041A, AMC 15 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
23192, 94-047A, DirecTV 2 (DBS 2) *OR*
25937, 99-056A, DirecTV 1R (both Boeing 601)
and possibly GE 1 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
By the way, I think that Thuraya 1 was stationed
on the other side of the world. I've never seen
that one.
