You’re right, 125FW is out of Jacksonville. Just watched a YouTube video on them last week, not sure how I made that mistake lol.
When I looked them up, it said that they maintain a detachment at Homestead. Whether that's already occupied with air defense or whether they might com here, I dunno.

Slightly off topic as out of area, but...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken's government aircraft, the modified Boeing 737 Blinken uses, suffered a 'mechanical issues' on his trip to Europe for NATO meetings, forcing an unexpected road trip and a delay. I believe this is the second time this year his plane had issues.

Seems lately the Blue Angels and T-Birds are starting to demand more and more extras and assistance for their Airshow participation.
Hey they bring the crowds so make more demands.. LOL Flying Rock Stars doing the American Way :)

That's concerning. The Blue Angels were already primadonnas, when they were at Willow Grove, back in 2001.

Now that they aren't charging a fee for performances, they are turning to the air shows to provide some of what that fee used to pay for.

Dutch F-35s should be returning to Leeuwarden airbase today,
both supporting tankers just departed from Bangor as MMF 26 and MMF27.
Thanks for the info Rene. I was able to catch some of this on recordings this morning.

1115z 308.000 MMF26 & MMF27 A-A on their climb out from Bangor (KBGR) discussing altitudes, speed, and radio freqs for ATC.
1206z 235.950 NAF 322, 334, 335 (only numbers I heard), A-A as they climb up to meet the tankers.
1207z 299.600 MMF26, MMF27 & NAF 332 flight on boom freq coordinating the join of the fighters to the tankers as they head out of Bangor.

That's all I had. Hope this helps.

This is a new callsign. They were using Forge about a month ago.
Not that new. Logged ZIPPO callsign for them back in January.. FORGE is Army Pax transport callsign normally.

Couple Navy P-8A's inbound Dover from Jacksonville first one is Pelican-47 (AE6806) on approach 132.425
which is VP-45 callsign.. Second one is Pelican-54 (AE67B9) ... No A/A yet both inbound runway 1 for ILS.

Seems both landing Dover Pelican-54 getting his parking spot and Pelican-47 landing as well.
Both will req about 45k fuel from ground ops according to P-54. "We have never landed here before"
so getting follow me vehicles.

RCH071 (85-0029) and RCH072 (58-0066) should be departing from MacDill AFB [KMCF]
in the next hour or so. They should be dragging two F-22s to Chile for the Santiago Air show.

They are on Coronet South 804. More info: U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter to take to the skies over Santiago de Chile during FIDAE 2024
Both now airborne. Since both are using a "REACH" callsign, I'm not positive that they'll actually be dragging the Raptors on this flight. Most times it will be a mission specific callsign for events like these. Maybe just repositioning to bring the F-22s later on? Tankers are currently headed north up the gulf coast of Florida.
