Darn just missed them. Had someone on UHF going to FL-230 at 0806 local.
Maybe were the no shows from yesterday? Assume off to Alaska with the others.

One of the pilots did mention they were heading west.

Final destination for the AC Devils will be Japan. Their EDDIE KC-135s will drag them out there.

Yes, you are correct Richard. COWBOY A-A freqs up here were 225.900 and 226.200

Glad you caught them going home. Unfortunately, they're gone from the Northeast now. :-(

Ohio ANG 121st ARW EDDIES must have sent out half their tanker squadron the past few days.
Another seems to have just picked up someone over W Vorginia. Kind of late in the day for pickup.
Maybe picked up a couple tired Ok F-16's from Langley and taking back to Tulsa..Headed slightly SW.

See a BANNER-51 C-17 departed John Wayne airport headed for Kelly AFB Texas and another C-17
BANNER-29 departed Homestead seems headed North. Forgot Potus Texas visit tomorrow.

Getting crowded in Guam,Hawaii etc for the exercise.
C-17s arrive at Andersen Air Force Base for Department-Level Exercise 2025

Checking logs from this morning, had two DC ANG flights westbound.

352.900 boom, 238.175 tac
396.200 boom, 319.175 tac

Also had 377.525 and 383.400 active with transient aircraft - best guess for those is USN tacs.

PHNL/PGUA: 21-46090, 21-46091 and 21-46093

KWRI: 16-46021, 21-46060, 21-46061, 20-46072, 20-46080, 21-46082, 21-46088, 21-46092, 18-46042 (assigned to Altus but operating @ KWRI) 19-46064 Not flown since 09/27/24 & 19-46071, Not flown since 01/02/25

KLTS: 15-46010 & 21-46057 seems to be assigned to 97th AMW??

KIAB: 19-46063 seems to be assigned to the 22nd ARW??

KIAB: 19-46063 seems to be assigned to the 22nd ARW??

18-46043 is now permanently assigned to 305th AMW as of a few months back. The Altus tail flash was removed before it came out here. 21-46057 was traded to Altus at the same time in that exchange. Not sure about the others listed... My original thought was that 19-46063 may have gone to KIAB to be a WARPS testbed, but after such a long period of time that seems unlikely.

EDDIE-81 finally after zig zagging around wx cells heading out West dropped his receiver or receivers in Southern Colorado
on Northwest heading so assume chicks headed for SLC area. Maybe a stranded F-35A going home.

Earlier today a couple MD ANG A-10's chatting A/A about where some of their
guys are headed after closing up this Fall.. One going to SJ another out West for F-35 training etc.
Lots of different options for most of the USAF ANG pilots.Some just want to focus on their Airline jobs.


Beware for AI Bob the Army guy in videos.
