1310- Score 92 (E-2D # 168076) orbiting at FL240 about 75 miles due east of Virginia Beach. Carrier out there?

1330- There's been a P-8 working the pattern at ADW most of the morning. Can only catch ???-51 as callsign. Just heard them on 128.0. there are 3 of them as Drago 51 flt. Working ZDC Lexington (133.9) on their way back to NAS Jacksonville.

There was Arlington service at 1pm for a retired Navy Vice Admiral John David Johnson who passed back in 2023.
Maybe P-8's were for him.

The 2000 foot altitude window seems odd ?

Speaking of W386, active tomorrow are the RAPTOR EAST and RAPTOR WEST ATCAA's, airspace between W386 with W107. Not sure how often they are active, but I've never noticed them before. For an exercise maybe ? RAPTOR ATCAA's - FAA SUA

Multiple flts of T-38s out in W386 today w/F-22. Freqs: 227.2/228.35/233.225/238.825/255.65/257.075.

RCH-170 KC-46 #19-46007 inbound McGuire non stop from South Korea req customs
on 134.100.Good long haul.

Thinking this McGuire tanker was part of Tanker force in undisclosed location.

305th Air Mobility Wing returns home after historic KC-46 deployment

Members of the 305th Air Mobility Wing recently returned home after supporting a milestone seven-month contingency operation, accomplishing the largest and longest KC-46 deployment in the platform’s nascent history.

Thinking this McGuire tanker was part of Tanker force in undisclosed location.

Correct, 007 was one of the deployed jets earlier this year. This South Korea TDY was for exercise Freedom Flag 25-2 which involved USAF and ROK assets. Another 305th jet, 21-46089, was also a participant in the exercise. That crew seems to be headed home as well via a stop at PHNL. The KC-46s used SOBA-8X callsigns during FF25-2.

MME 32 x ? (NAF)
133.525 Cleve.C. 06:43pm. From Greg S in Lansing. 32 was asking Cleve.C. if it was ok to fly over Canadian airspace, because they don't have permission to do that. Cleve.C. had them cut the corner. Cleve.C. controls that airspace, but it's still Canadian airspace. If they don't have permission, they will have to pay a fine. I've heard this happen many times over the years.
These guys were very quiet. No A/A, no nothing after this freq!

Thanks to Greg in Lansing for the heads up on flight 31 & 32.

134.125 Cleve.C. I want to split the formation into a 3 ship & a 2 ship formation, 06:07pm.

The F-35s from MMF 31 landed in KBTV around 1850 EST as flight 322A and 323A. The 4 from MMF 30, flight 313A, landed in KBTV around 1730 EST.

These guys were very quiet. No A/A, no nothing after this freq!

MMF 32 was at FL410 so presume they weren't dragging anyone.

Yeah a lot of those tankers doing TDY out of MacDill on local round robin missions down there sure
are using some funny one time mission callsigns the last month or so.
Another RR trip out of KCMF tonight was MOOCH-22 KC-46 #16-46020.
Maybe for Navy and or RC-135 types a ways down farther in the Carib.
I think they like the KC-46's working there cause they hold more fuel than the KC-135's
