If you trace 63-7992 back on ADS-B Exchange it has been flying out of KMEI/Meridian with the 186th ARW for at least the last 2 years. Checking my own notes and it's been with the 186th since at least March of 2021.
Sorry for late reply was all napped out in this cold dreary weather..Good nap weather..
Confirmed it is long time MS ANG 186ARW/153ARS.. Lately on local trainee sorties down there has been using JAKE callsign.

There goes 3 McGuire KC-46's up towards Alaska from Travis.
All flying at only FL-250 so probably taking some fighters with them.
They all jogged NE from Travis and met receivers over Reno Nevada.

BOBBY-70 #21-46087
BOBBY-80 #21-46092

Must be taking AK F-35s back to Eielson AFB now that Bamboo Eagle is finished. Over the next few days the rest of the McG tankers will probably come back east from KMHR and the BOBBY tankers will return after a crew rest period in Alaska.

Think you are right.. The BOBBY's are already back Southbound to California at much higher 37k-39k feet.
Must have just cut them loose over Skagway Alaska then Tankers rtb. No crew rest needed :)

SWATH32 headed to S FLA for gas station duty in the skies over POTUS this morning


Also in that area, first time I've seen a C30J doing deportation runs, usually it is the C-17s. RCH682 AE138A 04-3142 headed SE through Florida coming from Texas.

First F-15 I've seen with 10 pax trying to catch a civilian flight :) I admit I was wrong and so was ACARS on that one.

If you look through the details of the messages connected to that ICAO code 06A23D....you will see a minimum of three different commercial aircraft by registration from various companies. Could be a glitch in the processing system for message passing.

"Daytona 500 Flyover happened before it was shown on TV, about 1:35pm, per press pool reports. Flyover shown at 1:49pm on Fox"

It was shown "as live" LOL

SPAR32 just went directly over the house (near the GDM beacon) presumably en-rte Andrews. REACH845 about 50 miles to the east.

Yes the same 3 from McGuire who took F-35's back to Alaska yesterday.

Seems Swath-33 tanker followed Potus to the track this afternoon and now back on home West Palm turf.

BONVOY-11 calling McGuire CP on 134.100 no joy "in the blind will call back in 10 minutes".. Not sure if that freq is even working for McGuire these days.
Finally gets them later when real close on 134.100 with 3 pallets to download. Gonna be a windy bumpy landing.
Seems to be circling now in racetrack pattern NE of McGuire.. Maybe divert?

Two of the jets they sent out there are already back, so these remaining three will cap off the 32nd ARS Bamboo Eagle participants. 21-46089 made a run out to Hickam AFB, then a quick stop at Westover ARB before landing at McGuire yesterday morning.
