On tape this morning heard them headed North mention LaGuardia ...callsign BUNYAP aka Death Demon.
Old 7th Pursuit squadron callsign from WW2 in Australia.Now the 7th FTS Langley.

New Guinea, where its P-40s flew attack and air defense missions against Japanese fortifications. During this period, the squadron, known as the "Screamin' Demons," adopted their mascot and emblem, the Bunyap, an Australian aboriginal death demon. Even to this day, the Bunyap remains the squadron emblem.

1420 local RAVAGE-31 flight with ZDC down South says destination Andrews but will
make Pax River stop first.. Assume Andrews F-16's.
Yes. RAVAGE-31 id as 121st FS/113 Wing. A-A 143.600 (AM)
KNHK RWY 24 then request tunnel back to ADW. Unclear if it was touch-and-go or landed briefly.

Followed by BULLY-11 up with ZDC Patuxent 281.400. A-A 143.600 (AM)

then a little bit later

BRAVE-01 x2 to ZDC Patuxent 281.400 to check in with BAYWATCH PAX Advisory - 305.200
using airspace for 30 mikes. A-A 340.250
Briefly heard them on 139.700 with HUNTRESS.

I think they all requested the "tunnel" back to Andrews. Anyone ever find out what that means?

Fox reports the Eisenhower SG is still in the Atlantic. Current line out of Israel is that the IDF attack has been delayed so that the US can improve air defenses around US installations in the region.

As of 1400z yesterday it was south of the Azores. C-2 162157 got off and went into Lajes then to Rota.

Martinsburg C-17 00-0182 flew into Germany (Spangdahlem) from Dover yesterday and is heading back now as REACH-776. My guess, since that’s a fighter base, is it was transporting gear for one of the fighter deployments underway now.

Was corrected, they're OT F15s.
These must be F-15EX test types as Eglin dumped their F-15's a while back for F-35's.
Hope they do some flying around here but assume in Andrews for Corporate Pentagon Brass exhibition.

Course one of the prototype F-15EX's had ET tail flash so see what shows.

Just had DECOY-99, one of the MRB C-17s, fly very low over the house on his standard terrain avoidance run. You kinda notice a heavy a few hundred feet over the house….Now he’s back at KMRB going thru various low-intensity runway light options for NVG approaches.
