Off topic UAL1048 up with their maintenance on 129.400 as airplane wants to roll
and both A/B autopilots won't engage.Both pilots say airplane feels heavy.Auto Land is also OS.

Mark, I posted this in the a/c forum; they're getting weak here as they fly over Harford Co. Did I copy something about going to Mexico??

Yes this is regular KEWR to Cancun flight.. Pilot not happy at all so planning to divert to Dulles Airport and asked about
how much fuel to burn before we to get to landing weight.Divert already up on flightaware.

They probably did that with Washington Center when they required the diversion. Plus landing at or near max landing weight could lead to other issues once they touch down. Strain on the tires especially for the weight transfer- could have blown a few tires. At least they landed on 19C which gave them a lot of room to slow down. They held at the high speed runway turnoff for a while and then taxied to their gate. Runway was probably closed for a bit for FOD check as well.

99-0004 is the only one currently in service. Flying as VENUS94 today.

99-0003 arrived at ATL earlier this month for probably months of mx work w/ Delta.

98-0002 is at Greenpoint Technologies in Washington State.

98-0001 is stuck in Amman, Jordan after flying the SECDEF a few weeks ago. Likely suffered some serious mx issue that's keeping it on the ground.
Update: 98-0001 flew to Greenville, Tx for work at L-3 three days after returning from the sandbox. So 99-0004 (AF2 this week) remains the only C-32 in service.

FIST72 KC-135 57-1428 and FIST61 KC-46 19-46064 appear to be repositioning to Seymour Johnson.

FIST72 flew directly over the house, sure do miss those 135's coming over daily.

FIST-71 KC-46A #18-46047 off Pease headed your way as well.

Recent article said that along with the A-10's we logged they were gonna send some extra F-15E's to the sandpits.. Maybe for SJ's?
BTW those P-8A's logged into Pease last night continued onto NAS Sigonella Italy.
