Ascott 9301 with ZBW Boston 135.800 getting routing to Dover via Manta/Sea Isle.
Ctr asks if any others and replies we are total flight of 4.
Ascot wants to split flight Ascot 9731 will be the 3 F-35's also headed for Dover.
Ctr gives freq 292.150 for the F-35's..
Ascot 9731 told to push ZNY 353.500 and Ascot 9301 to push ZNY Manta low 128.300.
Seems off to MacDill Florida next.. Kind of strange routing from Lajes but have a feeling was wx related.

Del ANG 166th AW TREK-01 #94-6708 enroute to Key West NAS it seems...

Looks like another pair of tankers, HAZRD12/HAZRD14, on the way as well. Odd place to locate KC46 tankers with SJ just down the road.

3 of those HAZRD IAB KC-46s that went to Pope the other day were out in AR636 this morning. When they checked on with GK they said they were waiting for HAWK flight 8x F-22s, GK said the F-22s never launched due weather, shortly after HAZRD 12 declared an IFE due depressurization requesting an emergencey descent to 10000, then to 7000. All on the KNTU LiveATC 1630 UTC archive.

Nice radar track of the Fuerza Aérea Argentina F-16s departing from Skrydstrup Air Base to Spain:

View attachment 193330
According to Acars this morning looks like direct route from Gran Canaria airport GCLP to Brazil SBBE airport.
No Florida stops.
RCH-072 #60-0328
RCH-073 #63-8034

Couple McGuire KC-46's headed Northwest A/A 378.850 talking about when they get out there.
PUDGY-93 and TEAM-52 on ADSB.
PUDGY-93 says to McGuire CP 237.150 asks about which receivers are having fuel leak issues.
Guess supposed to meet someone on the way West.

Fyi --


"The Thunderbirds operate 10 F-16C's (91-0362, 91-0392, 92-3880, 92-3881, 92-3882, 92-3888, 92-3896, 92-3898, 92-3908, 93-0553), it is unknown as to which one crashed as the aircraft have no visible exterior serial markings."

The 2025 Netflix special has a bit talking about one of the new pilots who previously ejected having remaining symptoms and a loss in height.
If you have not seen this, this is a great look at their winter training. The footage is unreal.
