Single F35
When they were talking with ZBW I thought I heard them say a flight of 3 but the controller read back a flight of 6 ?

0952 EDT- controller assigns transponder code to the last aircraft in the line. Norwegian reads back 332F to change code, so sounds like there are 6 of them.

0956 EDT- to ZDC 120.975

Yeah that makes more sense - the call on 284.600 said single F35 (which did not make sense)

The aircraft are air/air on 375.550

Presume these are the tanker aircraft

1442L-Had a quick hit on HMX-1 273.95
I see 1 TIS-B near Hillsborough, NJ. Now strong signal on 143.825, sounds like flt of 2 "spin in a circle here until they answer the radio", currently spinning over Flemington, NJ. Probably doing a dry run for upcoming weekend trip.
Just dropped off the screen but they were "3 minutes out" from Bedminster.

Just heard the same on 143.825 but not seeing on ADS-B - wasn't sure who it was but suspected same once I saw your first post. Now quiet.

1015 EDT - ROMA tankers calling First Ops at Dover on 349.400
Just got in and checking my recording ROMA-02 inbound Dover with 40k on fuel,req follow me
and 126k fuel upload.
Hunch tells me that since these are mostly Western US based tankers and gassing up at Dover they will
be heading Westbound tomorrow with the F-35's :)
