Terry,
I'm pretty sure. Heard News1 tell Wash Helo that he thought he could nurse his helo back to Tipton. I think another news helo made the initial report and it was News1 that was on the ground. Might have been some sort of oil leak as News1 reported that he still had some oil left so thought he could make it back to Tipton.

1538- Now looks like Husker 55 might be heading for ADW. Flew at low level through the DOV area and He's at 5,600 over the Chesapeake heading towards ADW. Didn't turn towards ADW but is still heading south. Strange flight path--flew right over Wilmington DE, right over DOV and now passing right over PAX. He passed over all three at low level (5-6,00ft). Once he passed PAX he's started climbing.

Earlier this afternoon saw Maverick 27 TC-135W 55th Wing) depart ADW. At first, I thought he was regular KC-135 until I did a little digging and found he was TC-135W. Appears he's heading back to Offutt.
OT this past week I tried new Avelo Airlines out of KILG. Was good flights both ways to Tampa.
Departed runway 19 at KILG.. Not much room after getting airborne and landing they hit thrust reversers as
soon as wheels touched down.. Was some serious braking that really threw you forward
Better than a trip to Philly airport as only about half hour drive for me.

Just wondering - not much room after getting airborne - you mean seat wise ?
Landing at KILG - they hit the reversers as soon as wheels touched down ?
Terry
Okay maybe maintenance flight
Not much info on SATCOM except for position reports etc

I'm pretty sure I heard you come in - I was outside wrapping up grill operations on a semi-balmy February evening (though by then the temp was starting to fall quickly)...

Is the port #5050? Doesn't come up for me? Thanks
Heading South we had older packed 737-700 and perception was wow this plane is taking long time to get off
the ground and when we did in just a few seconds were over Rte 13 but unlike say Runway 27 at KPHL where you get much more
runway before you turn out.. The 7k runway works fine at KILG but just no extra wiggle room
Yes the hardest braking I have ever felt on way in but was lightler less loaded new B-738.. Much nicer than the old 737-700
The 738 also had much more seat/leg room..The best part of KILG is no conga departure line. Taxi out and go!
RCH-873 C-17 #00-0183 Charlotte NC ANG inbound Andrews with 36 patients on 378.100
The regular Friday evening Ramstein patient plane.
1805 local HMX A/A 273.950 push 124.550.(Balt Potomac Appch) Westbound?
1810 local Getting HMX-1 A/A flight of two 143.825..

Yeah that is a lot of runway for a 737-700 - guess they are getting a lot of business for now.Heading South we had older packed 737-700 and perception was wow this plane is taking long time to get off

The 737-800 probably has carbon brakes versus the steel ones on the -700 so that combined with more powerful engines will stop you faster
Navy/Marine work offshore refueling between Ranger-34 and Grayhawk-09
Got to get them Reserve Texans some A/R practice

Rgr even after he was turning off the reverse thrusters he gave the brakes a pump and you could really feel that
Hopefully F-35's start delivering again..
