Correct Mark. I've seen the Maine tankers up there often. They usually use the callsign MOLSON 01 while up there.

Couple Harrisburg MC-130's up A/A 150.200 AM..
ZIPPO-21 says "I can see you" with a chuckle though they are far apart.
Guess sees him on his Garmin Nav computer or another ADSB device.

1935 - PACK 33 (KC-46A/16-46018) AR with PACK 34 (KC-46A/18-46054) on A-A freq 235.850, approaching AR-206L IP
1939 - DECOY 99 (C-17A/00-0182) northbound direct AR-206 IP, suspecting PACK flight will meet up with them for AR down AR-206.

They were not using Molson today. I think Molson is a NORAD tanker callsign for Canforce missions so prob not needed today.
Canforce F/18's prob getting some KC-46 Hose tanker practices.

One of those towers I see out west,

has there ever been a solid determination of what is up with the 3/4 that toggle on and off the NE Atlantic coast are/are for/operated by whom? And why they toggle or appear to?

SAM629 01-0015 should be on the way to Paris with Sec'y of State, using dual hex codes. ADSBx has AE115D, ACARS has AE06F0, getting to be a common practice with many of the SAM flights. Also showing flight number as 582 in ACARS.

Went to Site R tonight and saw HMX-1 MV-22 do two touch & goes at the landing pad. It was very hard to see him. Only a single red and green light. Very cool and very loud. Took video but the file is too large to post. Seems to happen every Wednesday night around 9pm now. Also while I was waiting in the Carroll Valley, I saw a 193rd C-130 very briefly appear on radar closer to my house.

Earlier today saw a CH-47 and got some pictures.

As I kept hearing it - it almost sounds like BAYOU - but it is tough to understand them sometimes

I heard some on way in also the the other day.You were correct on Mighty.
Today at first sounded like MUDDY but then sounded like MIGHTY-1.
Montgomery Bama is within its flying range if need be but just a WAG.

Historically a number of USAF aircraft used a different ICAO address for Mode-S and Inmarsat Aero. At least one of the C-40s further complicated things for hobby users as it's Mode-S system was miscoded (not a 'tactical address' but a genuine miscode).
The E-6Bs also use two...and to further annoy hobbyists the Mode-S one is being replaced with a tactical address as of the beginning of this year

1010 - MAINE 85 (KC-135R/58-0021) and MAINE 86 (KC-135R/58-0098) checking in with Boston Center (ZBW UCA09/ART08) will be working AR in Viper south with RAMBO and SABRE flights
Checked Ron’s list and both RAMBO and SABRE are Langley F-22 callsigns
1037 - SABRE flight advising they are going to gas then fight then gas up again followed by RAMBO flight gassing up, and then SLAM (Alert jets) flight will be getting gas last. (AR-609 Prim 276.500)
Making me think it’s Barnes F-15s

As if 2 tankers wasn’t enough, BISON 41 (KC-135R/63-8044) is now joining the party and working with SABRE and RAMBO flights
1104 - Either SABRE or RAMBO told BISON they were looking for a couple of dry plugs along with AR for incentive rides.
1107 - (264.850) sounded like they called 226.300 “A19”
Also getting 259.000

Yep SABRE 1 (x2) departed Barnes at 1021 EDT, and RAMBO 1 departed at 1049. The SLAM flight departed at 1039 and was a practice scramble to W105. A-A on 259.900 so far. SABRE and RAMBO seem to be fairly new MA callsigns, I've heard them use both before but only fairly recently.
