Taken over Lancaster, PA this afternoon. Anyone know any info on this?? Odd to see a B-2 that low out here

I was trying to estimate the “B-2” altitude as it was below the clouds in the photo. Checking the KLNS METAR archives from the 6th and it was reported CLR the whole day. Can you confirm the photo was taken on the 6th ?

CAP getting in place fighters A/A 263.200 mention for Compton Reading CAP.
NOBLE 01,02 looking for tanker IGOR-12 KC-135 #58-0001 from Pittsburgh.
Don't sound like the Mass guys.. First said boom was 231.625 but now up on Boom 247.050.
Don't know where NOBLE-01 got that first tanker boom freq from.A lot of confusion on freqs. Now on ZDC 363.000.
Seems the Oregon 123rd FS/142 Wg is running the CAP now. Tail from NOBLE-01 was #86-0151 which is 123rd FS Oregon ANG.
Guess new fighters for October rotation :) AF-1 looks inbound PHL #09-0016 from Hagerstown.
1508 local They switched to secondary Boom freq 228.150.. Seems to work better for now.

Picking up the fighters in the CAP. They are using SNOWBALL call signs. Does anyone know what unit that might be associated with?

Would you mind sharing frequencies when you report hearing something please.

Weekend schedule released, no public events (including travel) over the weekend, so must be Monday return.

260.9000 Tanker ( IGOR 12 ) and fighters
263.2000 Fighters A2A with each other.

IGOR 12 just said they were switching to Secondary due to interference. If I heard the conversation correctly IGOR 12 is either switching out or the mission is completed.

Still learning this.

Mission is complete/switch out at 1845 hrs. I see RATS59 NJ ANG KC135 up but not sure if that is the replacement.

IGOR-12 with ZDC 307.250 making plans to depart to KPIT it seems.
IGOR-12 says offloaded total 60k fuel in CAP on Huntress 260.900
1843 NOBLE reports off station 260.900."See Ya"
1845 NOBLE-01 flight reports direct Langley on ZDC Swann 360.700. Heading down the Ches Bay on way home :)

RATS-59 KC-135 #62-3558 452nd AMW Cal ANG March AFB departed McGuire but seems to be doing loop maybe
back to McGuire. Trying McGuire CP earlier.
