Surprising as RUMMY-64 calling into McGuire 237.150 for arrival Alpha 1 req 100k fuel and follow me truck.
Wonder who are the lucky East Coast fighter jets that will do Pacific Altrav to Hawaii,maybe Guam etc.

Good Space X video of the coming year which should be a banner year. This company and other private outfits sure made
NASA look bad in local space shots at cost per kilo on launches.. Even Pres Obama saw this back in 2010.
Glad to see the Falcon Space X Heavy make a few flights this coming year.
SpaceX 2023 is busier and crazier than you think, rockets launch to save money - YouTube

2158 local RUMMY-71 KC-10 #84-0186 off McGuire to EGUN. Maybe bring some LN F-15E's West or their F-35A's?

1040- AF1 & SAM 46 (C-32# 09-0016) off ADW heading west.

I've had this question for a while: does anyone actually know a name or call sign for the "back-up" C-32A? I know it's ATC c/s is usually SAM46, but I'm wondering about more of a designation for that mission?

Just watched Red Dog flyover at Ravens at Bengals game... Two UH-1 Venoms flanked by two AH-1Z Vipers.

Big Antonov AN-124 flying from Palm Beach over Nebraska right now. One came into PHL a few months ago and was conveniently parked right next to a road with public access, so I was able to get a fairly up-close look. That is one impressive aircraft!

Guys

I've been watching the "Seal Team" series on TV. In the series they always show them using a C-17 when they deploy overseas for a mission. In the series their home base is at Little CreeK VA, just outside of Norfolk.

Got me to wondering is some of the Reach flts we see into/out of NAS Chambers are transport Seal Teams & their support staff.

Great show. I think the answer is yes. Same goes for the C-17s outta Pope AAF.

According to Wikipedia, Little Creek is the HQs for the Atlantic Seal Teams.

My son worksa in the military intell support area and he says that the mission sequences in the show are realistic.

I wonder ? Any Missions on the show starting around November 19th, 2021 ? There were those 3 C-17s heard departing KNTU (Oceana) late that night with their ADS-B turned off. Maybe using KNTU over KNGU for the longer 12000 foot runway ? They ended up AR with some KC-135s on what sounded like the "Trifecta Profit 3" (?) ALTRV.

Post from November 2021

The C-17 was RCH 790, the 8194 was from the previous flight, they appeared to change it to the correct number shortly after that. Not related to the EDDIE flight.

EDDIE 99 was following EDDIE 98, at the time they were not MARSA but for some reason EDDIE 98 did not show up on ADSB-X. The routing for both was over SLATN then Oceanic on an ALTRV to meet up with RCH 581 and RCH 955 which both of which did not show up on ADBS-X. The RCH's were going to descend down to FL200/FL220 at SLATN so maybe Hercs ? (couldn't hear them on the frequency).

An hour before that there was also MASH 92 routing over SLATN for an ALTRV to meet up with RCH 116 and possibly RCH 157, again both not showing up on ADSB-X. New York was asking MASH if they were part of the ALTRV but I couldn't really make out the name. Sounded like he was saying the "Trifecta Profit 3 ALTRV" ??? LiveATC Audio

Post from November 2021

Tracked them down. RCH 581 was C-17 10-0221. RCH 955 was C-17 10-0222. RCH 116 was C-17 10-0215 with a brief hit on ADSB-X going by Gibraltar. All 3 C-17s departed from KNTU. If you scroll back through the track histories the inbound flights to KNTU were also blocked. Still confused by the name of the ALTRV ? "Trifecta Profit 3" ? Horse racing fans ?

It looks like KC-46 15-46070 GABBA57 is landing at Newark right now for some reason

FlightRadar is picking up the Embraer with it but if you look at ADSB it seems to be the same KC-46

Edit: Now it looks like it did a touch and ago

Edit 2: Now it is spinning back around but gaining altitude, holding at 6000 ft
