The other B52 should follow in a few hours. You are correct they are the 2 (61-0029 and 61-0014) from Fairford returning to Barksdale.

Any ideas on this? Just flew over, looks to be a military Bell 407, I dont think it's an MQ-8C. Possibly an elusive Army 407? Hopefully someone can catch a callsign 🤞

*Looks to have departed Fort Eustis, possibly landing at Bay Bridge Airport W29
