Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[frank3si]

A couple of UPS 747-8s are scheduled this morning out of PHL between 8:45 and 9:15, so I was just checking flights in and out of the airport when I noticed this vehicle moving at about 30mph. The FAA "N" lookup for N502XB turns up nothing - has anyone else ever noticed a ground/non-aircraft vehicle showing up on ADS-B before?

Yes I have seen it before. Sometimes the firefighting apparatus show up when there is an Aircraft emergency.

Aviano F-16’s at Mildenhall currently. Supposedly crossing the pond tomorrow and will be drug by ROMA flight. Possible McGuire stop as they did last year..?

 

[hrspotter]

Did you get callsigns for the F-22s? I got some pics of both, my camera decided to screw me over so half of them came out grainy but I got some good ones, will post tomorrow.

Cropped and compressed to hell and back, but enough to ID. I must have had about 900 photos to go through—the downsides of continuous shutter mode...

F-22A, callsign unknown, registration 05-4100.
T-38A Talon, callsign MG02, registration 67-14939, ICAO AE63EE, altitude 5700 ft.

Yes I have a large amount of KPHL ground units logged here from NJ site. The PA site would see them all the time but it is only a SBS-1 which does not do TIS-B. Conditions are good at times that I can watch vehicles and aircraft on the ground at Phila Intl Airport from the beach.

The whole fleet passed by New Castle, Delaware beginning with Air Force One at 10:33EDT, followed by the C-32 09-0015 at 10:38, the US Navy Gulfstream C-37B/166377 at 10:50, and finally GRIM99, the E4-B at 10:51. One of the C-40s made it by a bit later but I was editing photos so missed that one I had been in the PHL area shooting 747s this morning and got home just in time for this procession Busy day!

Stuck that in one of the radios (just in case it is airborne)
