Sounds like Martin State A-10's are up.. Balt Ravens have home game at 1PM local so assume for that
A/A 266.600. One final last game flyover? Sounds like 2-3 of them so far. Says TOT time is 16:58:40.
Talking about setting up camera on his wingman.

Only one A-10 took off from MTN. Tail 702. Not exactly sure who he’s chatting with on A/A.

1231L - Just heard MTN tower mention that there were 2 A-10s holding at SWANN. Not a clue in the world where the other one came from or when he took off, I’ve been at the airport since 1130.

Thats a shame.. Andrews in past was model for airshows as had lots of National Guard screening stations
and lots of big charter busses then seems cost cutting started in 20 teens with Harford County school busses etc and less
busses but still was pretty good...

At 12:25pm I received another media advisory that all Northwest Stadium lots were full, but you could ride share to the stadium or walk there and still get on a bus to the base if you were in line by 12:45.

Mentioned talking to Vietnam Veterans etc.

1320- looks like the POTUS return train has left ADW. C-32s # 09-0015 & 0016 off ADW heading northeast.
They took off right after the C-17 demonstration was neat!

Security and bussing wasn’t a problem today (left before Thunderbirds, that’s the real test for the bussing) but doubt there were as many people as yesterday

Yep, it was 0087, the jet that went to Hagerstown over the weekend for the Expo at the airport. Guess they joined up over the Bay for the flyover; both came back to MTN and shot two low approaches each.

Looks like it will retire there.. Heard pilot mention factory where A-10 was built and you said Hagerstown so 2+2 on that :)
Never knew that! Sept 22nd Monday is the last day of 175th Wing flying!

Departed Wright-Patterson as CHEWY 25 this morning.

Better video of F-35B's landing Ceibo PR. They sure have different landing gear than F-35A's.
Seems taller and spindly but guess it works. Local PR comments mostly wish US would reopen that base.
I remember the hoo ha back in Clinton days as separatists and environmentalists wanted that local practice bombing of that island stopped
so US Navy shut it down.. Maybe having second thoughts.
