Seems mystery AE5225 went Northeast and tanked over Maine with JuJu-83 P-46A #16-46022 at only FL16k @2110z all the way out from the 22ARW.
Guessing a Cannon AFB AC-130J making a crossing as it went offshore Eastbound. Prob for night landing at Lajes.

Caught this on recordings yesterday.

2049-2158z 295.400 JuJu 83 working INLAW 33, 38, 39 (only callsigns heard, there may be more). In the block 150-160. Much refueling and some A-A comms throughout on their way through Maine heading East. Near the end 83 told them to contact Moncton Center on 123.900

Thanks. Just a WAG but seems trouble in East Africa Sudan area may be destination of these special tails. German AF scratched 3 A-400's today
due to ongoing combat in that area... (Just right click menu to translate to English on the Spiegel web page)

US media seems to be ignoring this story but I give rare good credit to CNN for covering this.
According to the staffers who spoke to CNN, the officials said that there are efforts underway with the Department of Defense to come up with options for getting embassy staff out of the country.

Bundeswehr muss Rettungsmission für deutsche Staatsbürger aus dem Sudan abbrechen

In einer Geheimoperation sollte die Bundeswehr nach SPIEGEL-Informationen gut 150 deutsche Staatsbürger aus der umkämpften sudanesischen Hauptstadt Khartum ausfliegen. Die heikle Mission wurde aber kurzfristig gestoppt.

Probably an offshoot the Global. They usually pin off the Global and are basically TACAMOs, tankers & ABNCPs passing alot of EAMs and Skymaster msgs.

Coach 13 which adsb.fi has as a CH-53 Super Stallion is coming southwest down the Connecticut coastline from Sikorsky

COACH13 was CH-53K King Stallion 170005 heading to MCAS New River at Camp Lejeune. It shows as Super Stallion currently because the King uses the same ICAO type code "H53S" as the Super. I'm going to work with another .fi community member/contributor to work on a "long names" database so the King Stallions will actually show as King Stallions in the info box. ADSBx still hasn't bothered to update their DB since the sale so they're not showing any info on it.

Sure is a mess of C-17's in and out of HDAM,Djibouti last 24 hours.Closest base US has to Sudan.
Imagine lots of Special Forces are standing by in case they are needed in Khartoum to evac Americans and others.

Not really Mil Atlantic Milair related, but DECEE 41 KC 135 (59-1456) out of Andrews (KADW) just completed some aerial refueling over Southern Ohio with the Ohio Air National Guard 180th Fighter Wing.

The 180th F-16's are training in the Buckeye & Brush Creek MOA's this morining, and took the aerial refueling prior to their training.

DECEE 41 was working Indianapolis Center ARTCC Sector 24 Parkersburg on 125.550 MHz. Aerial refuleing boom frequency was on 343.800 MHz.

12:40 local KELT-01 Dover C-17 #01-0191 10 min outcall on CP 349.400 inbound with 64 pax from
"Junior ROTC Cadets incentive flight". Departed from Dover to Vermont on AR-212 and tanked with MAINE-86 tanker.
I'm sure they got a kick out of that
