[vgames15]

COLD11 flight of 4 T-38s landed at BWI about an hour ago after doing a Ravens game flyover. No idea on departure time but I’d assume after a little after the game.

1257 Cold 11 is transmitting ADS-B at BWI would assume departing soon

E-6B DOWEL04 #164387 on ADSB front end callsign but backend callsign SPACE BAR.
Multi character message on 311.000 for CZJ4FO departing Pax River.
1440 local now another message new backend callsign SAFE DOG?

1445 someone up on ZNY Elmira 298.900 at FL270 sounded like fighter or bomber.
Then on ZBW 353.925>353.600

I've been slacking on going through recordings. Skull bombers were on 298.900 going to ADKs.

For the Northern Night owls there is two A/R Reservations up in AR-62..
Eastbound tonight 0300z-0400z FL-230-260 (2300 local) then flips back Westbound tomorrow evening
AR-62W 2145z-2245z also FL230-260..
Looks like a US Stratcom Global Thunder exercise flight.. Maybe why those FLAM tankers
started staging last night here and in Europe.
You may catch A/R later tonight on Montreal Live ATC..Listening to: CYFB Montreal Center | Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada | LiveATC.net

Coincidence maybe but a Barksdale Buff showing (prob 2 or more) coming Northeast now on ADSBX headed towards Lake Michigan.
That is nice of US Stratcom.. When they do exercise like this they want everyone to see it.. In Real deal there will be no A/R Reservations

2019 local "Aircraft-62" to any station with HF radio check on 11175.Someone unreadable confirms good check.

2100 local "DOGMATIZE" with multi character message simulcast on HF 4724,8992,11175 and 15016..
