On Tuesday 07/08/25 KC-46A WAVY61 17-46033 from McConnell was involved in an accident while refueling a F-22.
Below are some pictures that I found online showing that damage.

Even Eglin sent some ET F-16's to Guam.. I didn't realize they still had some let alone deploy like this.

CLEAN-24 KC-46 #21-46094 departing Travis for Pease tonight.
Guess some kind of large altrav coming up soon out East here.
Langley F-22's still hanging out at LN doing local mission training after Iran mission.
Langley F-22's don't get much of an audience at Langley but sure do at Lakenheath.
Reports of F-22 pilots coming over to fence line and chatting with those crazed Mil aviation fans :)

2055 local CLEAN-14 #18-46044 departing McConnell also for Pease.

@1355L CAP guys using ZNY CHASE SECTOR 125.850 Button 17.

At 1705 EDT NOBLE 31 was sent to check on a wayward Citation at FL410 N926LM. Sounds like the Citation had lost comms with Center as they could be heard calling them on 121.500. Here are the comms from 125.850 (aircraft only) and ZNY 125.325.
