Wouldn't surprise me if the 22 ARW again late tonight goes up from Dover
It also shows us that the new implemented tactics and techniques of the Air Force are working flawlessly, the ACE (Agile Combat Employment) concept and the ability to conduct missions from unfamiliar environments, opens new ways to spoof adversaries.
I never heard New York Center working any Bombers when the Tankers were on frequency. They might have joined up from other sectors or ATC was using discreet UHF frequencies only. Or maybe (WAG) even operated in radio silence with some sort of LOA type deal with ATC ?
The Dover launched KC-135's went Southeast so probably picked them up a ways down there maybe just a ways North of Bermuda.
I notice lately that on some Altravs BostonCtr would ask over the air how many'in your flight but

don't ask that anymore.. ATC no need to know I guess till some other Civ pilots comes up on radio and asks
"Hey who are all those fighters near me"
And yet another hangared at KFFO. Best guess is pilot scheduling issues.

After the Dover KC-135s did their thing, 6+ KC-46s out of Ramstein met the strike package somewhere around the Straight of Gibraltar and took them east. Currently (0612est) KC-46s/KC-135s out of Lajes are with the strike aircraft giving them gas as they head west over the Atlantic rtb.
Looks like an E-3 AWACS (76-1604 AE11DB) out of Tinker and a Wisconsin ANG KC-135 (63-8023 AE07C3) will be on the route. There is also a reservation for tomorrow morning.

See post #4,567.NASA flying low-level planes over Mid-Atlantic next few days
NASA will fly research missions from its Wallops Island facility over mid-Atlantic cities, including locations in Virginia, starting this Sunday, June 22 and continuing through Thursday, June 26.
The flights will take place over Richmond, Hopewell and Hampton as well as Baltimore and Philadelphia, according to NASA officials.
The two aircraft conducting the missions, a NASA Orion P-3 and a King Air B200, will fly lower than commercial aircraft, between 1,000 and 10,000 feet, officials said.
People may spot the planes conducting special flight patterns like vertical spirals and circling over landfills, power plants and urban areas.
so don't panic, people, the Iranians aren't scouting us.
