Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[Mark]

REACH-578, a C-17, left KMRB on Friday for Europe. Left Germany this morning our time, stopped in Bangor and landed at Joint Reserve Base New Orleans this evening. ADS-B coverage got fuzzy at the low altitudes, but that’s where I think he ended up.

I posted the other day that the 8 New Orleans JAZZ F-15C's are soon returning from Europe.
Various ANG C-17's have been real busy returning the gear..
Most of the Defender Europe 23 NATO exercise aircraft were State ANG aircraft

2150 local BTW another 167AW C-17 coming home.. RCH-532 #00-0182 trying WV CP on 297.900 offshore Atlantic City.
Kind of a stretch there.. Just dropped off some cargo up in Mass. as they also had some F-15C's overseas.
Dodging wx as really stormy here right now.. Thunder and lightning show near me now.. wow!

RCH-532 came down the coast to Cape May, hung a right, overflew Baltimore, continued west and is on the ILS to Rwy 26 at KMRB. That kept him clear of the storms.

Check your weather radar. Very impressive now.

Up on the Eastern Shore of MD for a few days. I can see the lightning over Wilmington from the Bay Bridge. I’m going to be outside but unable to use my camera tomorrow. Why no tanker flyover in the DMV?

Power out here now.. could be a long outage.
Got cellphone connection.. Sitting on back porch watching lightning bugs flashing..

Annnnd nothing here

Well, with this weather the Northeast may not see much flyover action at all anywhere. Our 1pm forecast for New Castle is the arrival of the next huge line of north-to-south thunderstorms with torrential rain, high winds, and hail promised. A large portion of our backyard is literally under water from the flash flood rains last night into this morning Mark, hope your power is back up!

Bunch of Tanker callsigns showing up. Presumably for the flyovers?

New Jersey going all out with 6 Tankers and 3 Hosers McGuire must have done a elephant walk then launch.
Couple McGuire Hosers crossed Del into Maryland.. Count those two States?

1135ET seems like Jersey formations getting up and practicing or something before their flyover. Anybody know what freq they'll be coordinating on for this?

edit: current list (1152ET) in the air from mcguire/nix is - 6x TANKER fleet, 3x HOSER fleet, 5x C17 (BEEF62, 63, 81, 82 and JEDI61)
edit2: just noticed a C5 doing loops around Dover AFB, curious if they join the formation or are just holding for NJ to clear the runway
