April-15
Speaking of Albuquerque RCH-4554 C-17 #09-9210 62AW inbound Dover parking HC-1 and notify all agencies of our arrival.
Req fuel...

Seems RCH-4554 C-17 09-9210 back to Dover stop today after delivering Hot cargo to Italy and others it seems.
The 62AW is the only USAF Wing that is trained for that type NATO cargo.
Prob will stop back at Albuquerque for offloads.

Had some weak A/A comms around 1500Z on 280.700. Not able to garner anything significant from the conversation. No obvious suspects in the area.

I believe you're correct about Leesburg as I can usually hear Huntress ground side when Guard Dog is active.

Earlier today RCH-315 C-5M #85-0003 Dover to Mountain Home KMOU..
Upcoming road trip for one of the F-15E units there?

RCH-315 off Mountain Home enroute Hawaii with RCH-649 C-5M #84-0062 also showing KMUO-PHNL.
Guess rotating reinforcements for Kadena Okinawa now that the F-15C/D's are finished there as USAF has promised.
With two C-5's for cargo and crew pax must be sending a dozen F-15E's over there

SAM-781 C-37B #11-0550 coming Northbound from Guantanamo at FL410.
You can add this one to your Venus list Ron recently shows a couple times as VENUS-61
This tail dropped out of site last August down South and reappeared this March up this way.
Assume Gulfstream and others did some serious work on it..

One of the US Navy's better ideas these Alaska class converted supertankers.. They have 3 of them.
Sure has lots of radar/com domes and antennas on top

I just had these two aircraft go over my house in Levittown PA around 0830 and thought for sure it was a chopper, my house actually vibrated with the sound of... tat,tat,tat.

Moving fast and I grabbed this shot as they were approaching Philadelphia going right over the Delaware River Southbound.

What kind of aircraft is BLKJK22... it seemed to make very sharp moves to the left and right. Just curious, thanks.

 

[trentbob]

Okay so it was a chopper, it changed its name around Delaware and the fighter jet appears to have separated. I was just curious because it appeared to be a winged aircraft when it passed over my house.

Blackjack the callsign for the Coast Guard MH-65Ds based at KACY. They also have several aircraft assigned to KDCA.

Okay I guess it was just misrepresented as a winged aircraft over my house along the Delaware River across from Trenton New Jersey.

It definitely was a helicopter when it went over my house and I was curious why it changed it's name in Delaware and who the fighter jet might have been who was very close to it most of the trip. Thanks for your reply.

The actual callsign used with ATC was "Guard Copter 08722". The "other" aircraft was a MLAT ghost image of the same target. I'm not sure why the ADS-B callsign was alternating between BLKJK and FALCON or why the HEXCODE was 000001 ? Maybe some sort of glitch ?
