Any idea what time? Was it really a J-3 Cub? Sometimes you can harvest some audio off the LiveATC feeds.
I wasn't home to monitor but did have some UHF tape going and heard NOBLE-2 at 09:32 local req from Center
immediate descent to 2000 feet heading 210 then 200.
0942 local NOBLE-2 has intercepted now going Southbound.
0946 NOBLE-2 req back to CAP altitude at FL23k. Short intercept.

Got a Navy C-2 #162140 circling at 1000 feet offshore..Anyone see an aircraft carrier around here? LOL
Almost seem like a low level search pattern.

Here's the call on 121.500 ... LiveATC Audio.

Interesting they ID the aircraft they are calling as "TOI", I doubt your average civil pilot is going to know what that means. 10 miles south of ILG, couldn't find any matching targets on ADSB-X during that time ?

Looks like a old Cubby in this short vid just scroll down a bit. CG Chopper took over it seems.
Is that a drone flying around PGA Golf tournament for aerial shots..PZ4M?

Four LAGER tankers head north to meet someone at 0520Z (1:20 am EDT).
Maybe this BTF mission will take a tour of newest soon to be NATO members up North.

At least one old NATO member, Norway, also came to greet the B-52s.

B-52, JAS Gripen and F-35 on joint mission over Norway

Earlier today, Swedish and Norwegian fighter aircraft escorted American B-52 strategic bombers over Norwegian territory. This is the first time we release photos showing the three nations together on a mission like this.

PUBLISHED 18. AUG 2022 17:22

Four American B-52s recently left Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. Early Thursday morning, they joined two Swedish JAS Gripen and two Norwegian F-35 fighter aircraft west of Andøya, North Norway. One of the B-52s conducted training with the Norwegian Army at the Setermoen firing range. Operations like these require thorough tactical cooperation between the nations, aircraft types and the participating ground forces.

For the coming period, the American B-52 bombers will be stationed at the RAF Fairford Air Station in the UK.

Important arena for cooperation
The “Bomber Task Force” has become a well-established arena for cooperation. The arena allows Norwegian and American aircraft to conduct joint exercises with both ground and naval forces in advanced training scenarios.

“Witnessing our nation’s JAS Gripen fighter aircraft flying alongside several of America’s most powerful military aircraft visually depicts the strength and solidarity of NATO,” said Major General Carl-Johan Edström, commander of the Swedish Air Force.

“These moments truly capture the military power that exists within NATO – as individual nations, but, more importantly, as a unified Alliance.”

2015 local TOPCAT-7 KC-135 McGuire calling BATON-20 EC-130J PA ANG Harrisburg on AR-631 freq 295.800.
Those BATON EC-130J flights rarely show on ADSB anymore.
Guess they treat them like fighter,bomber types..Their radios still work though :)

Anyone seeing Northern Lights tonite? rumor has it from the Press we might see some down this way but every time they have
said that in the past it was negative.

The 66th Rescue Squadron receives its first operational HH-60W. The introduction of this model to operations will provide a significant improvement for Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) missions when compared to the HH-60G. Video below shows the inside and talks about the differences in the upgraded model.
