1600- E-6B, with tactical ADS-B ident callsign Dryer 95 off PAX heading northeast. He's w/Potomac (124.55/125.525). Cleared to Harrisburg.
Had a nice view as it passed by at 21,000ft heading northeast. Thought the cloud layer would block my view, but it seemed to be riding the bottom of the deck. There was a patch of vapor around the whole aircraft, super humid after the rain earlier.

Hi Mark and all,

They were four Danish F-35s as RETRO 21-24, flown by US pilots including one female as RETRO 22.

They departed today from Lajes to Skrydstrup airbase [EKSP] and were overflying the Northern part of the Netherlands.
Nice air-to-air comms on <246.800> and they were trying to call 727SQN ops with their inbound call.
Confirmed :)

Second round of T Storms headed this way :(

VPOTUS and second lady Usha Vance arrived at KADW on Air Force Two, following a closed-press fundraising swing out West.

After refueling, Air Force Two is now taxiing, was wheels up for Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. They are anticipating a roughly 9 hour flight.

1140- ???-19 off ADW (257.2) then w/ZDC Linden (322.55). Hard to catch callsign--has xmitter that chops up voice.

1148- Short A2A on 328.475. I have this as a RI ANG Rhody freq but nothing showing on ADS-B. These guys sound more like ftrs. Cud be they guys that just left ADW?
