Here comes PUDGY-16 KC-46A #20-46082 delivery from Boeing to McGuire. :)
Guess they skipped over PUDGY-15 for now. PUDGY-14 delivery was back on August 18 so been a while.

Thursday...
Interesting AR-20 Eastbound Res this evening 2245z-0045z FL150-170. Sort of A-10 altitude Res.
I think there was a tanking last night up on AR-20E but mode s were turned off.We were understandably not invited :(
Given the altitude would say MC-130J type. There was oddball tanker out of McGuire MOTIF-56 up that way and a KC-135 SOUR-69.
MOTIF-56 only showed later when back inbound McGuire.

PUDGY-15 inbound McGuire 1815 local reports alpha-2 with one writeup. sounded like "alpha-mode 5 inop".
Even brand new things go wrong..

RCH-659 now inbound Dover C-5M #87-0036 reports alpha 3 for "right forward main gear indicates in Transit".
2157 local RCH-659 lands ok and warned about ramp freeze coming up.

Looks like Potus to take C-32 to Dover tonight then motorcade on down to beach.
2150 local AF-1 off Andrews 09-0016 enroute Dover

OT Cool looking new ship to the British Navy.. Underwater cable sniffer.. Looks nose heavy.
Wasn't that name of ship from Fantastic Voyage movie? LOL

Eight C-130J's headed West from Fort Liberty (Fort Bragg) NC at 20,000 ft led by PUMA 10 #10-5728 approaching Asheville at 1430 UTC
Anyone in the range of those guys if no joy on UHF for interplane be sure to search the VHF band as well. When I was near Maxwell AFB in AL the LRF birds loved that 140.xxx range.

OTIS 04 calling MAINSAIL at Andrews for radio check. Looking at ADSBx, he is currently off the coast of NC at 10,000 ft. Signal loud and clear here in Maine using a Countycomm GP-7/SSB with an MLA-30+ loop outside.

Couple more C-130J Puma types coming East from JFTB (Joint Forces Training Base) Los Alamitos AAF KSLI in California.
Large mostly US Army Reserve base.Not sure if related,
Two more Puma types trailing that first group of 8 out of Ft Liberty.Flying a bit higher and faster maybe to catch up.
Should make an impressive mass jump somewhere today :)
