Was out this morning, just got back. I see HIFI 21 has taken over CAP tanker from HUSKY 98, sounds like the fighters are SONIC 11-12 now.

1154- 341.300 HIFI 21 telling SIDECAR there is interference on primary boom freq then said switching to 234.700 then corrected it to 364.200.
1200- BAT 11 working SIDECAR on 341.300
1207- SONIC 12 to AR, SONIC 11 has the CAP. Not sure who/what BAT 11 is ?

Good comms here on 364.2. SONIC 11 just finished getting gas. Are these F15s or 22s?

1237 - SONIC12 setting up connect for fuel est. 7k

14509 from Sikorsky Heliport coming down the Hudson. ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

Tried to use EarthCam to figure out what it was but it flew over each one of them

Looks like a Coast Guard MH65 might be getting some video done of it by another helicopter

20-14509 is a USAF HH-60W Jolly Green II (Combat Rescue)
ADS-B Exchange hasn't updated most of their DB since they sold to a private equity firm in late January. adsb.fi has it in their DB. The Jolly was picking up a crew that delivered US Army 22-21237 to Lakehurst.

SONIC 11-12 are CF-18s, the previous one to refuel was tail 730. Also hearing comms on 263.700 (in french), maybe helos.

1158 hrs local KC-46A, 19-46007, AE574D, Pudgy 13 being delivered to Maguire. Pudgy 91 heading westbound with Hoist 91 (KC-10A, AE0225)

Interesting as last KC-46A delivery to McGuire was back in December PUDGY-13 #20-46074 mode s and radio coms.
Was wondering at the time what happened to PUDGY-12? They skipped it..
Anyway will rename the old PUDGY-13 as #12 on the list and call this new one as it is PUDGY-13

Private charter GLF4 N495WG inbound KILG callsign "KRYPTO-495" female pilot showing KPO495 on mode s.
This tail gets around to lots of nice places.Cancun,Key West,Nassau etc.

Actually hoping to stop by tomorrow, but they are calling for morning rain and I need to be at work late afternoon, so we will see what the weather is like. Looks like a few good displays of medevac and SHP/SBI helo (didn't know SBI had a helo, hmmm). Will post some photos if I do make it down there.

With the delivery of another KC-46A to McGuire today tried to figure out how many KC-10A's are still assigned to the 305th AMW or even Active.

28 total still in-service.
30 Total stored
1 on display (Dover AFB)
20 60th AMW
8 305th AMW (but I believe another went to the bone yard earlier this week)

Broken? C32A SAM-574 #98-0001 inbound Mildenhall UK.. Got her fixed?

SAM-574 coming down to Andrews now.. One report said mech problems and another poster said it stayed
behind in Jordan for other mission with a mode s spoof... Unless it secretly flew at night it would have been seen..
Prob mech problem

It was odd: The SECDEF flew to the region in a C-17, and then 98-0001 came in a flew him to some locations, while the C-17 took him to others that were more high-threat. Then the C-17 flew him home, which was the first odd sign because the C-32 should've taken the last leg. That was about a month ago IIRC.
