13;13 EDT ROCCO 31 Did a nice fly by of Cape May County between 800 and 1500 feet....little bit hazy but ...
For their last pass, VIPER-11 flt had a rough rejoin. Ended up making it a right echelon rejoin instead of on the boom like yesterday’s practice. On 294.725, VIPER-11 said he had no speed brakes. “I mashed on that **** and they wouldn’t come out!” Called ops as Code 3 on 261.0.

Don't think I have ever heard Sierra Pacific airlines around here but they do occasional charter stops at McGuire.

Saw this article from over a Month ago just posted today.. Seems McGuire runs a ART-C training course for Airmen.
The above plane is Boeing 735 type tail N708S. I think their only B-737 tail.

Seems today on their way to March AFB then home to Tucson Az.

Unrelated but good article on US Javelin production.. One mean ass weapon. Good short video as well.

Yeah I probably see them come east about twice a year - that I take notice of that is......
Interesting they did KPHL to KTLH a few days ago.

2258z RCH 619 (Dover C-17) eastbound 121.375 zau > 125.975 zau > 126.475 zau > 135.375 zob " direct MRB (Martinsburg, W.V.), WOOLY (Morgan, Md.), SWONN (can't find a listing for this one), destination"
Probably SWANN for that way point... SWANN waypoint | OpenNav

1946 local RCH-619 C-17 #06-6165 inbound Dover from Hawaii with 18 pax,and crew trans for 8, req fleet and lav service.
I bet after long trip like that :)

Photogs standing on pier at Blue Angels airshow at Pensacola during this past weekends airshow down there..
Saw a few days ago during practice down there they were really buzzing that pier low as pier was closed off to people.
Seems only photogs allowed on pier were dayglo vest dressed pass folks.

Yea that's the closest I could find....he had to repeat himself twice, I'm surprised ATC didn't question him on it, I recorded it on my phone and did a double take myself after I couldn't find it on AirNav

0915- Getting A2A on 225.5 (3-4 acft) which I have as a McConnell 22nd ARW freq. These sound like ftrs. ADS-B showing 4 Langley T-38s (Scar 1-4) in W386. Maybe new freq for them or F-22s working with them? Acft counting off "tanks dry". Acty is ACM training. Callsign is Chief which I have as a Langley 7th FTS call.

Mark,

From what I'm hearing these aren't the Scars showing on ADS-B. Plus, these guys sound more like F-22s than T-38s. I may have the Chief callsign assigned to the wrong unit.
