Interesting visitor under both COBRA36 and COBRA45 just landed at ADW from Omaha by way of a lot of territory covered in the eastern half of the US - WC-135 Constant Phoenix, used for "collecting particulate and gaseous effluents and debris from accessible regions of the atmosphere in support of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963" as the USAF describes. Wonder what he's looking for in these parts???

VIPER21 F-16 departed ADW to KTUL around 1030.

A bit before 1330 DRAGO51 flight of AH-64s did a flyover at Arlington for Army general killed in single-engine plane crash in Maryland

So the earlier possible sighting of Apaches was likely.

Checking tape from today 10:25 local VIPER-01 flight of 4 headed from Andrews offshore ZDC 281.450>ZDC 307.275 >GK 249.800
req when entering W-386 we are down to 5k feet. Yesterday they were using 371.050 for A/A.

1320 local VIPER-3 is rtb Andrews 10 minutes ahead of the others,1330 local VIPER-01 inbound two miles front to back and
back to Andrews.. Must be Shaw F-16's working some offshore low altitude work. Maybe doing anti-ship work?
Being 3 hours out there must be tanking.

Couple Buffs currently working range West of Winnipeg over CFB Shilo.
