Earlier around 10:30 ZBW was working some F-22s into that airspace. Missed the callsigns. Also a lot of VT ANG F-35s up and about RIPPER 11, HAMMER 21, MAPLE 31, JAWS 41, DEMO 51. MAPLE is their travel callsign, missed their destination but they were heading into ZOB airspace.

10:15am local HUNGRY-1 flight of 4 headed North from Langley assume F-22's.
Working the usual ZDC/ZNY Ctrs headed North.
12:00PM local HUNGRY-1 flight coming South at FL390 rtb Langley via Harcum HCM. HCM : HARCUM navaid | OpenNav
Don't hear that callsign often but is on Ron's list as possible 94th FS callsign.

KC-135 #57-1473 Alabama ANG VULCAN-93 departing Dover for home base Birmingham KBHM.
Originated at KBHM then went down just North of Lake Charles La circling a bit at lower altitudes for a while
then on up towards Dover.Now flying home at FL260 so maybe picked up someone headed South?

1740 local RCH-266 C-17 #07-7169 out of Bangor calling Langley CP on 251.250 assume inbound there.

POTUS motorcade should be arriving ADW soon, departure happening soon. 09-0015 should be SAM96 AF1 backup.

Thanks for confirmation of the post above yours.

Flightradar24 does not track AF1, but it is tracking 09-0015 SAM95 following right behind it. Might be a better source as it crosses the ocean.

Inbound Coronet today?

Caught on recordings...

1610z 346.400 TABOR 11 flight check in with ZBW FL280 two ship non-standard formation.
1625z 282.200 TABOR 11 flight check in with ZBW FL280 request descent down to 14,000. Then requested down to 11,000
1631z 293.700 TABOR 11 working SCORPION OPs at Burlington, VT (KBTV). Two ship inbound with AOS (?). TABOR advises he has a brake degrade issue and asks if the cable is up. Last transmission said that he would go around to trouble shoot the problem.

No tanker or boom comms recorded. Flight must have split up well before entering my airspace.

OT Ford Carrier group extended.. No wonder so many sailors and crews leave the Navy when deployments
keep getting extended like this.. Seems the Naval norm these days. You may be the most patriotic crew member aboard
but after 6 months waiting you want to get home and then they drop the bad news on you...
