Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

Sorry I did not....

I did monitor the archives and found HAWK21 flight of 2 (F15s) on 282.300 (by monitoring the VHF side on 125.325). They continued onto Boston Center on 134.000/317.700 - monitoring the flight in the same way - they were turned over to Bradley Approach on 290.550..then 281.500 then 118.900 for Westfield Tower.

While monitoring the tower, RHODY 11 flight and BULLET 1 and BULLET 2 (F15s) arrived prior to the HAWK 21 flight.

C-17's from the 167th AW WV ANG use DECOY but there are other aircraft types that use it also --

Just curious why GLAREs and DECOYs are constantly over Jersey shore area?
Maybe training?
Assuming confidential, so I’m ok not knowing.

0044z 346.400 IAF 100 heavy flight checking in with ZBW in the block 150-170. Self ID'd as one tanker, two fighters non-standard formation.
0044z 391.000 IAF 100 flight using Coronet freq as A-A speaking in their foreign language.
0052z 239.300 IAF 100 flight check in with Bangor approach in the descent, request vectors for runway 33.

Seems they're done with Burlington, VT (KBTV) and are currently passing over the border of NH into Maine heading towards Bangor.

KC-135 Tankers To Finally Get Fuel-Saving Winglets

Winglets, in widespread use on commercial airliners, will reduce the KC-135's drag and improve its fuel efficiency, saving millions annually.

This to me appears to be a case of too little / too late, those airframes need to go to the boneyard.
