Sorry to hear that. COWBOY 11 flight has just landed back at Pease (204pm) but COWBOY 21 flight is almost done playing with REAPER 11 flight in Yankee MOA. If either head down the coast, I'll try to give a heads up.

210pm
They're done in the MOA. REAPERs look to be heading back to Burlington, VT (KBVT). So far, no indication the COWBOY 21 flight is coming our way. Listening...

218pm
Just heard on ZBW 282.200 COWBOY 21 flight is heading back to Pease VFR 16,500 ft. Listen to 226.2 their air to air. Also listen to ZBW 269.475 263.050 and Pease App on 269.400 for their return down your way. Good luck listening.

220pm
250.100 COWBOY 21 flight working Base, 10 min out.
263.050 check in with ZBW.
269.400 inbound Pease working approach.

230pm
260.900 working Pease tower for the left carrier break.
Some vid of what you heard yesterday.. :)

Wonder how AF1 will deal with upcoming runway construction

Flight operators should be advised that there is a long term Runway 5/23 closure scheduled at Morristown Airport (MMU) from 2200 local EDT on July 27th through August 30, 2025 (time TBA) due to an airport construction project.

In addition, there will be a six day MMU Airport Closure (for all fixed wing operations) scheduled between 2200 local EDT August 24 through August 30, 2025 (time TBA).

Updates associated with the construction project can be found at
Runway 5-23 Rehabilitation Project – MMU | Morristown Airport New Jersey | General Aviation Airport

According to Airnav the next closest airport that can handle large planes is KEWR Newark 13 miles away.
Scroll down to bottom of page.. Longer motorcades I guess... KTEB also only 16 miles away to the East.
KTEB is used to handling the wealthy jet setters without tying up poor overused busy KEWR.

Funny you should say that, training run or return from a yet announced TX trip?

3 C-17's single file departing Charleston for PHNL Hawaii early this morning. RCH-116,117,118.
Saw a few WOODEN tankers KC-135's and KC-46's also go Hawaii the other day.
Guess someone is on the move soon out there.

Crews from the 124th FW Idaho A-10's returned overnight via Atlas Air 747.
Assume their A-10's will be following over the next few days.
124th Fighter Wing Deployers Return Home

Forgot to add to my above post, The Reaper 11 flight originated out of Otis/Cape Cod and landed at Dover AFB.
About 1040L, While I was driving, had 3 CH-53 go over me at low altitude. Looking now at the screen, they originated out of KWRI. Still airborne over RI/MA area.

REAPER-11 just departed Dover Southbound.. Maybe back to Key West? see them there at times.
Should be a second one REAPER-12 also was up that way.

Senegal-001 A-320N Mil with Pot apch 124.550 inbound maybe to Andrews.

REAPER is based at Beaufort - USMC aggressors versus the USN ones at Key West.
