Something a little different, formation with 3 USAF Hercs and a German and Spanish A400.
International Jump School exercise. :) They seem to keep bouncing between FT Liberty NC and Alexandria La
or maybe escaping the NC area rain.Couple of C-17's also chasing them SWORD-70,76.
Dover AFB has RAF A-400 inbound.. Prob not related to Jump school but rare bird for Dover.

Wall Street Journal did tough article on the RAF the other day saying they have gone from over 500 Mil aircraft in 1990's
to just over 200 today... Ouch!

We now have 3 "offshore buddies" showing on ADS-B. Another one popped up last night. Not sure if it's related to the path of Tropical Storm Ophelia which headed that way.
Sometimes see a 4th just inside NY Harbor area.. Almost seems like floating ship traffic mode s waypoint buoys
running up the Coast to NYC also just inside the Warning area borders.Maybe they added solar/battery type beacons to
known shipping channel markers offshore?

VENUS-94 #99-0004 departed Andrews looks enroute Texas.. Maybe some more work to be done?

Odd AR-20NE Res tonight 20:15 local or 0015z-0315z FL150-FL280.

Yeah been following these guys since I retired - were an occasional customer - now apparently a full time customer for my old day job employer.

1857 local RCH-880 C-5M 85-0004 off the deck at Dover on CP 349.400. A real big loud SEE YA!!
Seems these days USAF pilots really like doing that :)
Acars has him going to Pope.. 82nd Airborne gear I assume for deployment.

Earlier this evening AZ ANG K35R TEDDY 11 departed KBGR to AR with 3 B-1s, callsign sounded like THICK (?) 11-12-13. All 3 B-1s ended up turning around and RTB to Ellsworth.

LiveATC Gander Center

There is another AZ ANG K35R TEDDY 12 also staged in KBGR. So maybe another B-1 mission coming up, or they try this one again ?
Best part was GANDER relaying for THICK to REDRIVER, can’t say I’ve heard that before
