Regarding the C-17s that live at MRB…my wife and I are at the airport frequently and have never seen more than six of them on the ramp. We were actually there when the inquiry about tail numbers came thru on this forum.

JADE71, 00-9001 AE0443, headed south along eastern seaboard approaching NYC after a return from Albania with a stop on the way for refueling. This airframe provides airlift support for the Gatekeeper Mission - clandestine support to foreign nations via State's FEST (Foreign Emergency Support Team). Looks like it is returning to McGuire where it departed from.

2157 Now trying that again.. something about his camera. Boom Op sounded a bit startled.

Heard that too, one of them said something to the extent of “that was a big bounce” boom operator might be startled because he mentioned earlier it was his first time on a 46, had some mishap getting fuel into 12 earlier

Sec of Def took a CBP chopper? to Annapolis

Not a CBP helo. Think it's a H60 from Ft. Belvoir. They have some H60s there that are painted this way to ferry around dignitaries. They a have kind a VIP interior to fly high ranking members of government around.

Please see the pics of it when at Martin State last year.

From the pics it's a VH-60M Blackhawk.
