I have been re-instated as a GS/MU, WoHoo!
GOLD 71 KC-135 departs Dover 1012z
1022z TABOR 21 sounds like a single ship reports MARSA with GOLD 71.
Looks like they went east offshore Mass at 1055z

GOLD71 Flight
(The freq has been associated with F-16s from 169th FW...just a guess)
They also used the Coronet freq 349.700.
There were two Fighters and they were A-A on 298.300. They were discussing alternate bases nearby which were Greenwood and Gander. I assumed they would be headed my way but appeared to go due East.

Had report USN F/18s so maybe a couple VFA-106 Fleet replacements..
No eyeball report from Lajes yet..Maybe for Euro airshow circuit?
Still no A/R Res yet for these guys to Europe..
They promise to make the UK airshows..
BOBBY 51,52 KC-10's seem to be still holding down Pax River ways.

Could be C-32B AE0438 passing through there in a little while. Passing over Virginia now at FL310. HOOKY16
Guess you guys up there may deal with leftover Arthur storm Saturday..
Moved quite a few SJ F-15E's to Wright Pat Ohio..
F-35B's may try again Saturday but wouldn't bet the house on it.

The UK folks are still holding out hope for this to happen soon.
There was an ALTRV (not that that means anything lately) posted for Saturday, July 5th but it was quickly cancelled.

CLEAN11 Flight 1705Z
CLEAN11 / TABOR61 flight is with Moncton Center at headed SW @ 1705Z. Discussing when to break up the flight.
Should be 5 F-15E Strike Eagles headed to Red Flag.
They eventually landed at Bangor.

Just got around to reviewing the 'tapes'. Seems one of the Strike Eagles had a hydraulics Issue and requested Bangor 'string the cable'. He even mentioned diverting to Greenwood AFB (closest base with arresting gear). I haven't heard what the final outcome was but I suspect they all made it to Bangor fine.
Luke (from Bangor AND Greenwood) just informed me that Bangor is not equipped with arresting cables. The plot thickens.

Pretty sure Bangor has them for emergencies like above given all
the years USAF fighters stop there.. Maybe not ready at the time but even foreign bases
that handle fighters have portable setups in case..
Did you get two groups today or just the first group?

I agree. That would be odd not to have that when they host so many fighters.
Yes, two flights...TABOR61 and 71. They should be departing tomorrow.
Thanks.. Maybe they will head down this way at SJ for any repair maint work but
assume direct Nellis next?
Last time they I think they made SJ stop but we shall see...
Res again for F-35B's to Europe again tomorrow for 10th time but haven't heard anything.. I don't think it is ever gonna happen soon
