From what little I could find on the LiveATC archives they departed DOV around 0155-0215am EDT in 2 flights, ROYAL 11 and 21. Initial Clearance was to the east via WNSTN then flightplan, FL250 block FL270. Heard New York Center ZNY86 133.500 (aircraft on 354.000 not heard) taking the initial handoff but then nothing else (no handoffs heard) until they checked back in again on ZNY 86 around 3 hours later. No clues on routing or mission ? Interesting that they always specified UHF only with ATC, didn't show up on ADSB-X, and did a tactical like recovery back into DOV (report initial, left break approved). Sounds like it was 6 aircraft in total ?

A noble on 260.9 just reported that they had to perform an aggressive maneuver to avoid parachutes. "They were within a mile of us and within 1000 feet"

MUSL chopper in P40 Camp David zone.
Rgr that sounds good. Must have hit storm way out to sea as ROYAL-12 inbound reported lightning strike..
I bet Dover area neighbors heard them as Dover normally has quiet hours after 10PM and 6 KC-135's
sure make a racket.. Yeah seems goal was to see how unnoticed in and out they could be but am sure others saw and heard them as well.
That Dover apch 323.000 was new for me but does show on Airnav list. AirNav: KDOV - Dover Air Force Base
I had that as old Norfolk Apch freq but maybe not anymore.
That waypoint was same one they used on way back and some were up with ZDC Casino 285.400 before Dover appch.
I'm surprised they didn't wake Terry up last night

The repositioning of the E-4B NAOC callsign ORDER01 to Joint Base Andrews this tuesday, catched the attention of a German news paper (you can translate the website):
www.haz.de
I haven't heard anything about the E-6B TACAMO's these days, they seem to be quiet right now 🤔
„Weltuntergangsflugzeug“ nach Washington verlegt: Das kann die fliegende Kriegszentrale der USA
Der Name lässt aufhorchen: Vor ein paar Tagen ist ein sogenanntes „Weltuntergangsflugzeug“ in der US-Hauptstadt Washington gelandet. Es wurde so konstruiert, dass es einem nuklearen Angriff standhalten kann. Ist der Krieg zwischen Israel und dem Iran der Grund für die Verlegung?

Can't wait to see the BDA's, the unclassified ones.
There are 2 KC-135's, reg. 58-0035 and 59-1508 from Fairchild AFB heading east. There is one KC-135 reg. 58-0106 from the Alabama ANG crossing the Atlantic right now. KC-135 #58-0035 is currently descending.
It would have been awesome to listen to the bombers, fighters and tankers in action, but unfortunately the Oman (OOMS) feed was taken down just prior to the airstrikes:

Jennifer Griffin Fox news said the Westbound B-2's were sort of timing decoys and 6 B-2's flying Eastbound
actually did the bombing.. would explain the six 22ARW KC-135's out of Dover late last night.
Remember the 22 ARW Kansas is well trained in tanking bombers as thats about all they are trained to do and hanging around
Dover was a flag for sure.. Good job!

This was my bet originally, McConnell Jets and crews have the ability to combine strategic and tactical missions, McConnell pilots typically wear SAC helmets during these missions, just like the BUFF pilots.
It looks like the mission was phenomenally executed.
Stupid question, does anyone have the Eastbound B-2 callsigns?
