That Osprey just left JFK. Not the ones that passed over me. This guy is about 15 minutes behind the other 2 I saw.
1047L- A C-130 just departed JFK ID as "X".

T-Birds scheduled to depart Andrews for Nellis today at around 11:10 am local.
Maybe PUDGY tanker may take them a ways? See who shows up.

THBRD01 Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware

Track THBRD01 flight from Las Vegas, NV to Nellis Air Force Base

www.flightaware.com

T-Birds just departed ADW about a minute ago. Diamond formation of 4 followed by a loose formation of 4 others.
Seeing THBRD01 on Flightaware but not adsbexchange.
ZPHYR46 departed a few minutes ahead of them so maybe the tanker for the ride across to Nellis?

Also: DRAGO51 (UH-60) has been holding over Springfield for at least 30 mins. Tells DCA tower they estimate heading in around 12pm. Guessing this an Arlington flyover that was scheduled for 11:15.

So based on your list I'm going to say he was an F-22 ! First time I heard him since June!

Mark, I only had one log from this flight.

1726z 318.000 No unit IDs heard. Talking about IFR clearance. Maybe TABOR flight getting their routing South after breakup?

I also had some hits on 315.900 at 1554z which I have as Lakenheath A-A. Possible delivery flight? Heard something about going back to McGuire though. Maybe the flight didn't go. Something to watch.

Checking the SDR recordings, I got a hit on 352.600 at 1555z saying something about, "AR primary". No ID on this flight.

I think this is our TABOR flights logged here last week.
Tankers match CLEAN-83 #57-1508 and CLEAN-84 #63-8025..
Nice vid from Lajes.. TIger Tiger! I guess cows in field next to runway get used to this

ZPHYR46 is dragging them across and they should be dropping off the tank as they get close to UT area. Flight Aware uses the FAA SWIM database and ADSB does not hence why they can be seen. THBRD01 does not use ADSB or MLAT. THBRD14 (a c130 on this trip) will be showing on both when they lift off.

E-3 EMBER40 flying up the Hudson

 

[Mark]

Never seen a E-3 do tour like this around East Coast.. They are rare even when working occasionally
off the Coast.. Must be nice change than flying around flat Tinker or Offutt country.
Wonder what poll results would be for out of town New York mil planes to visit.. Hudson River or Niagara Falls? 😂

US mil working on getting that Ceiba PR base back into shape including the control tower.. More UHF antennas and radios!

Seems those Japanese F-15's will stay way North on their European deployment
Maybe Canada folks can catch them later.. Should be able to spot tankers on ADSB.
Notice in Japanese a pic of Omega KC-10 tanker so watch for this.
