0904L- Fighter(s) just went over my location going south at 511 kts, TIS-B track shows out of Teterboro. Was getting some weak A/A on 281.0, not sure if it was them. Still tracking SSW over Ocean County, NJ.
0921L- Still tracking west of Cape May entering DE. Just a guess, maybe an F/A-18 out of Oceana.

Probably that GYPSY-41 flight of two I logged Friday coming North.
One of their A/A freqs is 281.000... Landed at Teterboro Friday.

Long hike for that Nevada C-130 #92-0548.. Inbound McGuire on CP 237.150 req follow me vehicle
and will upload tonight.They don't get out here often

Saudi Royal flights SRA-300,301 for WH reception tomorrow seems US will sell them F -35's.
Heck they rarely use the weapons they already have.. They break and go buy new ones.
There is a 3rd Saudi flight SVA-002 A-342 also inbound trailing a bit.. They brought all their big pax planes
SRA-300 sounds like a US pilot unless he has very good English on ADW Apch 119.850

Alaska C-17 FROZN-27 arrived at Philly..

 

[Afar1505]

Alaska C-17 FROZN-27 arrived at Philly..

And a rare runway 26 arrival, at that. Made the high-speed turnoff, too. Not a big ask for a likely lightweight C17, but not something that I've seen before at PHL.
