Which contract aggressors do they use there?

Draken. Seymour Johnson and MCAS Cherry Point use them off the coast. Draken has a base at Kinston Regional Jetport.

There was an OME tanker working from Wilm Intl Airport out to offshore areas near Cherry Point this past week.
On ADSBX just uncheck U box no filters mode and then over on Filter by callsign search box type in OME and you see it pop up.

Yep, they were out earlier today I believe.

Something else to look for in ADSBx, there are seven companies that have a contract with the USAF to provider fighter aircraft to act as aggressors during training.

HERE is a ADSBx link to the aircraft belonging to all seven of those companies. When using this link, it only shows these contract fighters, not other aircraft. Note the Callsign/tail number and locations and it will help you locate them when looking at ADSBx (without the U turned on, since these are civilian aircraft).

This may not be a complete list, but it is a complete list of aircraft registered to the seven companies with contracts as of Feb 13, 2025.
