Left KESN, Easton Maryland, for KCMI, Chaimpaign-Urbana, Illinois.  This just north of KIAD, near Washington, DC.

What did I do?  Overflying KIAD and looks like they have scrambled after me!  Count them!  Nine (9) below, all on the same vector! What in the world? I am nearing FL300 on the way to 360! I had an IFR clearance!  And I squalked the correct transponder code!

Checked several news sources and can find no explanation! LOL!

Fortunately, whoever they were they kept flying north, so later I pretty much had the skies to myself over southern Ohio!

Thant’s wicked cool.  What add-on provided these?

I have zero traffic addons and do not have Multiplayer turned on.  I believe it was just eager MSFS pilots wanting a closer look at the fantastic Hjet! 🙃

Um, ok, I guess.
