Maybe they will escort 84-0189 to the boneyard?!? lol
Travis better not retire them soon though supposed to next year but at the rate Boeing is delivering KC-46's
Travis will be in bad shape.. McGuire was supposed to have all 24 of their new tankers by Dec of this year. They have 14.
Have a feeling Travis will be getting KC-46 tankers tankers assigned TDY from other units there to keep up next year.

Crazy fun Phillies game by the way :)

Just received some comms on 294.8 Searching for more...
1346z 294.800 CLEAN 31 and ???? 11 on boom freq.
1350z 307.900 CLEAN 31 & 32 talking A-A on ZBW freq! Weird!
1355z 120.250 CLEAN 31 wkg ZBW, getting routing for F-35s.
Direct MANTA>SWL>SAEWD>LFI>FKN>EEGLE destination KGSB. CLEAN 31 will go to KDOV.
Thanks for your log, Ed !!

That 307.900 was their secondary boom frequency here in Europe, guess they stayed on it all the way.
That first cell TABOR 11 was initially reported A/A on 379.125, but I didn't monitor that one myself.

There are now four "HL" F-35s left behind at RAF Mildenhall. Guess they will depart after Columbus day ...

RadarBox is showing a Boeing 767 operated by the small Argentine airline Andes Lineas Aereas is due in at Dover early this afternoon, out of Ft Worth TX... Not sure what that's about.

Just a Omni Air Intl cargo jet...

More interesting Kalitta B-744 inbound Dover from Seymour Johnson.

Anyone tracking the FEST bird out of JBA? ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

Last week we were wondering where the FEST bird was going but I believe it was a domestic flight. Didn't follow it past Boston. However, today there could very well be some interesting flights to the Middle East. Within the hour the Israeli ambassador to the UN told Fox that there were "dozens" of American citizens grabbed by Hamas and taken into Gaza to be hostages, followed by speculation that the various U.S. HRTs oughta be on their way over there. Of course, the Israelis are quite well established in the HRT business themselves. In fact, the commander of the successful Israeli rescue in Entebbe (who was killed in the process) was the brother of the current Israeli PM. And the PM himself was involved in several rescues during his IDF service and was wounded more than once.

So the DM A-10's I take it never departed MTN yet? And looking back, this was the last of the KC10s in the area now that is heading out (CLEAN 32 currently over Baltimore)....wonder what's up...?
Yeah poor DM pilots as half their squad mates are kicking it in Southern Spain last I saw this past week.
They may have to wait another week at Martin State. Just can't seem to get right tankers to help out :(
