Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[Tank67]

Think Barnes F-15s are approaching. Heard someone contact ZBW20 on 290.35, now picking up 104th FW A/A on 259.9. Said he wants to go 240 for 200 miles I believe.

1651 - Going to the CAP perhaps. Hearing 228.9 > told to go to 260.9.

1653 - Call sign is SLAM

1655 - Said on 228.9 he's having trouble hearing Huntress on 260.9.

Rgr SLAM-1 trying to get up with the tankers Huntress 228.900 and ZDC 269.500.
Putting some muscle into the CAP Says after tanking we can get the NOBLE's out of here.

Not sure what is going on in Northeast as first EIDER-41 KC-46 #15-46070 off Pease went up towards Newfoundland
and now rtb home base McGuire. Now EIDER-42 #17-46026 off Pease also headed up that way and due to rtb McConnell.
I think now were for two returning E-3' s from Poland with SHUCK 80,81 callsigns. SHUCK-80 headed SW and SHUCK-81
should be hour or so behind.

So FWIW we went to the Pocono airshow today. Very crowded. It was a very good show albeit a little short. Started at 1 and over by 3:30. Unfortunately I brought my shorted antenna so I couldn't pick up KAVP from the track but the feed from Brodcastify worked good. Air Boss was on 135.850 the Blue Angels were on 284.25 with the solos on 237.8 Oh and everything showed up at some point on ADSBExchange. The Blue angels didn't show during the demo but they did on the way there. I also picked up this gem while there:

Wish I could have afforded something cooler but the A320 was $30. the F14 was well over $100 and I would probably lose it anyway! lol

Just heard some chatter on 298.9 (Bomber a/a?) about is there smoke showing? @0930L.
Could be a Blues refueling ?

Thought it might be relevant but here’s Banker12 and Noble12 right after they emergency disconnected on friday

Was thinking Blue Angel #8 and maybe one other departing Pocono area headed Southwest
if you follow those Ctrs I heard him on would seem headed back to Pensacola from KAVP.
Just a possibility.. Sure was high and moving fast. Could be these guys in the two seater.
Arrival of Blue Angel #7!

11:55 local BOUNCER-1 landing KILG on 126.000 assume CG chopper.
