Second group coming thru … 20:32 UTC RRR 9110 is KC3 tanker AR comms on 359.500 AM
Nice catch! Seem out of Fairchild AFB looks like they are headed to St Johns possible for a stop.. Should be RAF-F-35B's that
went to Alaska at beginning of May along with RAAF F-35's working with Alaska US F-35's.
Bet they have all learned a few F-35 electronic tricks working together :)
Not sure why they looped South thru US to head that way though some rainy wx North of Toronto,
First group tanker dropping down it looks like into Halifax.. RRR9250 UK Royal Air Force Transport Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware

I see overnight into the dawn in the UK the 3 B-1's arrived RAF Fairford.
I know US Stratcom will be saying what a monster of a job even for only a lousy 3 B-1's.
20 years ago would have been 6to 8 B-1's or Buffs for that type mission..
Six months of planning and two months of cargo moves to Fairford for only 3 bomber tails?
Just not as impressive worn out US bomber fleet anymore spread even thinner between Pacific and Europe :(
1 was a spare so only two arrived, 2 more due Thursday so will be 4 in total.

The OP
Boeing has developed a new pylon for B-1s to test hypersonic missiles (and can be used for other loads.) It seems that the B-52s are in such demand for deterrence and other missions - and are entering depot for mods - that the B-1s will take over the hypersonic test bed chore as they sunset their career.

FAA Safety Team Notice issued for one of the reasons POTUS is returning to Wilmington on Monday after Memorial Day events in Washington DC.

Also, look for Denmark VIP aircraft heading into DC the first week of June as the White House has announced Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark will be visiting the White House on Monday, June 5.

I'm guessing they'll come out of Oceana and Norfolk so they'll probably come right over our area. Keep your eyes peeled Tank!
0817- I already see a NARLY 61 out of Norfolk/Chambers Field. That could be the E-2 heading this way.
