B-2's and MOP's?

B-52's and a mix of CALCM's and 2k JDAM's?

MC-130J configed with MOAB's?

B-1's dropping JASSM's like never before?

Navy launching the first salvo of 200+ TLAM's?

Last but not least, all the fighter jets currently in the AOR!

The kitchen is on fire!



By the way this reminds me of the OIF kickoff day, maybe 5th BW BUFF's deploying to RAF Fairford, that would not be a surprise, considering the amount of tankers forward deployed.

Rocco's are just alert training KC-46's. Mcguire always keeps 2-3 tankers on ready
alert as well as practicing.. Kind of kills two birds with one stone.

Looks like GOLD-24-KC-135 going into Pease to station for future work.
Gonna take a couple days to line up any air bridge for possible Langley F-22's.

Couple more KC-135's departing East tonight. One from Illinois and the other from McConnell.

Two KC-135's from Cal ANG 452AMW departing Pease Eastbound.
#61-0299 and #61-0280

Has anyone managed to listen to the E-6B TACAMO's?, it looks like a go/no go situation right now. TACAMO's could have been repositioned.


(O/T I guess)
Currently I am listening to middle eastern ATC's on LiveATC, busy civilian traffic over Oman right now, I am not familiar with the area in and around Oman, so I'm not able to determine if this is normal or not regarding the current events unfolding in the Middle East...


OOMS Radar has 3 listeners listening right now

The Rocco KC-46's are returning to JBMDL, hear them on 237.150.

Looking across the pond, a 4 digit RCH callsign C-5 Galaxy RCH1800 AE0580 just took off from Incirlik and is heading toward Europe. Looks like it arrived from either the UAE or Qatar earlier.

A C-5 Galaxy always has 4 digit RCH callsigns

Sorry for the OT, but this is something we don't get to see on a daily basis.
I thought it was Ok.... especially since there could be a lot of mid-Atlantic mil-air if B-52s/B-2s go straight from their bases, lots of refueling on the way.

I believe at one point, awhile ago (just after Bosnia), there was a concept of flying AWACS directly to where they were needed, use them for one shift, then land them and do a quick turn with crews and maintenance that had arrived just in time to get crew rest and establish maintenance.

It'll be interesting to see if this happens with B-52s and B-2's

Thanks
Joel

To be more specific, he left the summit early.

To be more specific that was announced hours ago that he would be.
