GAF866 currently over western NJ heading southwest, I guess it's going to Dulles.

 

[Tech792]

1306- Have TABOR flights on ZDC 281.45 FL240, GOLD 11 showing just off the NJ coast heading south.

GOLD-12 #86-0030 says on Acars have plenty of extra gas for RZ at 2020z with GOLD-14

Today DEECEE-91 #57-1456 and DEECEE-92 #57-1487 departed Denver Buckley and worked to Southwest

KANZA-72 KC-46 #17-46032 and bringing up the rear is KANZA-71 #17-46030... Wonder who they are playing with?
Also was a KANZA-74 #17-46036 looks back inbound McConnell along with KANZA-72 Guess KANZA's were on different mission.

McGuire KC-46 #20-46073 and #16-46021 paired up departed San Diego area where they had been working out there for a week heading East not far behind DEECEE guys as VANCE-21,22 at FL250.

Flying the friendly (if glare-filled) skies of New Castle, KC-135 out of New Hampshire has dragged F-16s on its last two passes. I was starting to wonder if I was going to see anything as there'd been no action when the 135s were visible - sighting has been off and on all day thanks to persistent clouds...

Yeah lots of hazy clouds as seems aircraft trying to stay below them like SM-01 T-38 on way back to Langley at only 19k.

Think I hear coming South from Pa ZNY 292.200 and ZDC 363.000 , the T-38?
T-38 flew right over top of KILG. Now on ZDC 307.275 reports at FL190

I think Deecee-91,92 Picked up some Langley F-22's from Red Flag at Nellis which ended yesterday.Prob cut them loose in WVA.
DC ANG were also reported at Red Flag. Past and Upcoming Red Flag Units

Maybe the McGuire KC-46's VANCE-21,22 picked up the DC F-16's? Were headed East anyway

 

[Dutchmil]

2155z GOLD 14 and TREND 53 and 54 now with Boston center 133.450, request UHF 269.300 for the TRENDs.
2156z TREND 53 flight now radar contact.
2159z TREND 53 flight cleared to Langley AFB.
2208z TREND 53 flight now with Boston center on 290.300.
2211z TREND 53 flight direct RIFLE.
2220z TREND 53 flight to Boston 254.375.

Problem is that 133.450 is no longer covered on LiveATC, but it is sometimes simulcasted on 128.750 like tonight ....

 

[Dutchmil]

Does anyone pick up the A/A for TREND 53 flight ... ?

Facebook post says Welcome Home to 113th Wing posted an hour ago.. Maybe McGuire VANCE tankers had them.
Pics shows at least 9 DC ANG tails at Red Flag. 113th Wing DC Air National Guard

René scanning and searching but no TREND A/A heard here.. Atmosphere is not good for radios today as seems
everything is weak.. Did hear TREND-53 L+C on ZDC Sea Isle 281.450 for a bit then weak again on ZDC 236.825..
2038 local.. Got them finally A/A 285.150 one of the regular 149th FS A/A freqs.

2145 local Off topic but hearing "Canopy in the air over Donegal Springs" airport (N71) in Pa at 8500 feet on 122.800.
Reports 3 more canopies in 10 minutes going to FL 10.5k.. Civy night jumping? Don't hear that often.
Mode s shows (A7CC0B) 1967 N601MB Cessna 182 Maytown Sport Parachute club.

Right near the Susquehanna River in nearby Pa about halfway to Harrisburg.
Maybe first single jumper instructor has flare so the 3 jumpers following can find him? Sure got guts at night.
