Apparent Andrews airboss on 125.35
OK now see how they got to PR with just 2 tankers.. Actually had 3 tankersNavy has signed up for more contract work from ATAC aircraft
Seems second wave F-35B's is on again as GOLD-62 #59-1453 gonna meet Pa KC-135 GOLD 61 #59-1460 again?
Same two tankers as yesterday.I think again they are just getting them down to maybe Key West as PR a thousand miles from Key West
and not enough tankers to get all these guys there in one shot. I haven't seen any confirmed sightings though in the Keys or PR yet.

Talked with the A-10 pilot today. He says they currently have 5 planes left. By the 23rd of this month they will all be gone. The remaining are being transferred to another National Guard unit (I can't remember which state he said). The rumor of them transferring to Joint Base Andrews to fly the F-16C isn't happening.
The A-10 arriving the 22nd to Hagerstown will be having the gun removed. Possibly the entire thing, as well as having the engines removed.

Scanning since the age of crystal scanners.
The F-35s which went to Puerto Rico seem to be based at Jose Aponte De La Torre Airport - TJRV. That's the old Naval Station at Rosevelt Roads, at the eastern end of the island.

GOLD-64 from Travis #21-46094 came thru later near Miami at FL-280 so maybe for stragglers?
enroute TISX.
In front of GOLD-64 were 2 other Travis KC-46's. no destination showing but same course.
ROVIN13 #22-46102
ROVIN12 #22-46104
Prob both to TISX as have seen that before in the PR where tankers stage at St Croix right next door which has more room
and the fighters are in PR. Both Travis KC-46's have that new plane smell 🤣🤣
Don't see any tail markings on the F-35B's but one nose shows as 589.Possible 169589 from VMFA-211 The Wake Islanders?
Seems the former 2 letter tails codes CF have been scrubbed.

Beautiful weather brought out the crowds with full capacity and shut down later arriving folks.
The live video was sort of annoying with too many crowd shots then aircraft flying.. Kind of weird.
Air show closes to additional guests due to "unforeseen circumstances", police say
The air show at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base is not accepting visitors, police said. This began at 12:30 p.m. due to "unforeseen circumstances."

The aircraft join an armada of eight ships and 4,500 Marines deployed to fight cartels and to deliver a message to Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro.

Security at the stadium was terribly slow and the bus transportation was even worse. Then the long wait to disembark followed by the lack of efficiency in getting people off the airfield. Comes as no surprise they stopped as we got to ADW at 1230 after an 1.5H at the stadium. The times i been to the airshow I have never seen it this dysfunctional.

Right around the time you reached JBA I received a media advisory stating "there is currently a 2-hour wait for the shuttle. While buses will still load, they will not run after 1p.m." So the wait had grown from your 90-minute ordeal. No additional vehicles were being allowed into the stadium lots at that point.
Beautiful weather and Thunderbirds = logistical problems.
I was out Ron but on tape 11:15 local were HELL-11 flight of 4 going to FL-240.
Thats a shame.. Andrews in past was model for airshows as had lots of National Guard screening stations
and lots of big charter busses then seems cost cutting started in 20 teens with Harford County school busses etc and less
busses but still was pretty good...
