Nighthawks just want to beach run it on this nice day 😊😊
Funny as tracking they were right under that C-130J CADS-708 but much lower. All were doing about 270 knots.

Looks like the 305th AMW swapped out another airframe.

This morning HOBEY69 21-46087 (AE63C3) flew to Altus AFB 97th AMW and now HOBEY69 is returning to McGuire with 16-46016 (AE5BC1).

Also 305th AMW KC-46A, 19-46064 (AE5AB) which had not flown in almost a year is now flying from KIAB.

The 305th AMW seems to have transferred 5 airframes and only gained 2 back. Also KC-46A 19-46071 appears to not have flown since 01/02/25.

Inbound message CADS-701 are also dropping off 4 rolling stock and pallet cargo etc.
Seems CADS are loading up McGuire with Army or Med Evac cargo?
Maybe a new ICE station? Noticed a couple of the flights originated at KAEX which is ICE Central.

RCH-2000 C-5M #85-0003 that just departed Dover enroute ETAR Ramstein seems to be returning from Long Island area.
Never gained much altitude so guessing usual C-5 door seal pressure problem.
Dover apch asks any issues? and negative reply on issues so maybe mid-flight Order change? Prob dumped lot of fuel on return.

They should station one or two of these Awacs in the Northeast as long way from Midwest to here
if something should come up.Alaska has a few of their own but nothing out this way.

Seems we lost some Army 160th SOARS soldiers in Wash Sate :(

We have lots of Army Aviation chopper folks around here... This doesn't look good.
I imagine State National Guard units will be mostly ok. Guess they will retire the older choppers.
