I reviewed the archive files for Lajes.....the first group of A10s arrived around 1845 UTC in the Lajes area. They were accompanied by the GOLD 80 series tankers. TABOR 31 32 33 35
The second flight of A10s accompanied by the GOLD 90 series tankers arrived in the Lajes area around 1945 UTC. TABOR 41 42 43 44 45 46

Wonder if three of them stopped at KMTN, saw what looks like 3 sitting in transient parking left of tower. did not stop by to see as I saw this coming down the road. You would think they would park in more secure parking across at Warfield ANG?

IAF204 is in formation with IAF103

IAF201 also took off from Bangor heading West, currently over Central New York

Don't think they'll be flying anywhere near me unfortunately and it's going to be getting cloudy :rolleyes:

Looking like a push across the pond to Spain. Saw yesterday that IAF204 was showing on ADSB but FlightAware shows nothing since 2015. IAF104 on the other hand went from KLSV to KBGR on 3/9.

Today looks like 103 is going all the way and 100 is pushing a small way before returning to BGR. Projected TO at 1210z but nothing yet.

103:
BGR BRADD AVAST 4100N/06000W 4100N/05500W 4100N/05000W 4100N/04500W 4100N/04000W 4100N/03500W 4100N/03000W 4100N/02500W LENSI LUTAK SONAP ORTOP TUTIS TAVSI PISIG XULIM VJF PENAS

100:
BGR BRADD AVAST 4100N/06000W 4100N/05500W 4100N/05000W 4100N/04500W 4100N/04000W 4100N/03500W 4100N/03000W 4100N/02500W LENSI LUTAK SONAP ORTOP TUTIS TAVSI PISIG XULIM VJF PENAS LEMO

Random photo opportunity: Marine One will depart the White House at 11:25(ish). In recent years, when the Cherry Blossoms are at Peak Bloom, the Marine One pilots have taken a different route and swooped down low and slow over the Tidal Basin to give POTUS a good view of the trees. You can get a nice Marine One photo, framed by cherry blossoms when this happens. Not a certain photo but likely.

But the tab "Prohibited Items" on their web page includes "Frequency Scanners". AARGH!!
If I go, I just park outside the gates and listen to the scannners. I wonder why they let cell phones in which can detonate a bomb; but don't allow scanners which are just receivers. It's looking like not a great show to waste my gas to go from Reading anyway when I can wait to see the Atlantic City airshow which is much better and I can take a wagon load of scanners too!

The logic is probably that they would stop the bomb at the gate (or before)....so no threat from the cell phone. Although if I still went to airshows - I would probably set up my radio to scan at the hotel and remote into it with the cell phone. Do they allow Ipads ?? Since techincally people use them as cameras and phones?

Picking up 104FG AA on 259.0 but they aren’t close. Was also picking up 119FS AA but couldn’t catch the channel. Will edit comment or reply to it if I see it again.

Edit: 119FS on 298.6 sounds like operating at 10000ft

Odd? Stationary east of Forked River LBI NJ w/ mil hex. -900 @ 1k. No type. On several ADSB sites.
Took the hex code to google and found more speculation. Not the first time.

...Directly from website FAQs. Wording is interesting (Lol), but we get the point.
All to be resolved in 2024 with the new "Unidin" SRS-5453 mobile phone. The new SRS-5453 will be a combination SDR scanner, mobile phone, megapixel camera with USB ports and SMA connector.
