Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[freqhopping]

Anybody know what was going on the the USNA today to warrant a flyover by 2 C-2s? Flying as DRAGO51, then one split off as RAWHIDE71 when it was complete.

When I saw the flight at first I checked the ANC schedule and saw a USN CDR aviator that did recon and patrol, but it didn't go to ANC.


In looking around for what's happening at the USNA I came across this.https://www.usna.edu/NewsCenter/2023/05/NAVAL_ACADEMY_MIDSHIPMAN_AWARDED_KNIGHT-HENNESSY_SCHOLARSHIP.php

I think he may actually be the son of some friends I haven't been in contact with for probably 10 years. Hometown and high school fit.

Naval Academy graduation Blue Angels show coming up soon.. Parking at Andrews or Pax River or Martin State?
Pax River is a ways off so most likely Andrews or KMTN. Last two years they worked out of Andrews.
