1802L - E-6B HYMN52 landing at KNHK after touch and goes at KNGU Chambers and a racetrack pattern on the VA-NC border. Sadly didn’t have my camera with me.

Seems that electric test plane N250UT that landed Andrews took 7 days to make it to Duke Field Fla..
I think a gas powered Piper Cub is much more efficient and practical but what do I know! LOL

This electric plane's 2,000-mile journey is over. Now its Air Force tests begin.

The electric aircraft journeyed from Vermont to Florida, making many stops along the way. At Duke Field, the Air Force will test it out.

OT Avelo Airline flight VXP504 with Dover apch 132.425 says keeps getting hit with blue laser light
on way North from Tampa to KILG.. Seems just Northwest of Dover at 7500 feet.
Never heard of Blue laser lights before.So far no other aircraft have complained.

The laser diodes ion blu-ray DVDs are blue (hence blu-ray), really blue-->UV.... Very dangerous, if this becomes more commonplace, there is a problem.

Thanks

Their was a F15 and F16 that landed about that same time... they flew over me as i sat at Rt. 4 & 495.

Yep that's the OT F15 I talked about yesterday on here. Maybe filling in while other 113th birds get maintenanced?

That would require one of the pilots to be cross qualified?

Maybe, not sure. I don't know if Air Force pilots transfer squadrons often but it could be possible that it's a former Barnes or Seymour pilot. Also always the chance that it's just a random OT pilot flying with them.

U.S. warplanes have carried out strikes inside Syria in retaliation for attacks on U.S. troops. F-15s and F-16s. (fox)

HUSTLER-61 flight A/A 264.200 sounds like at least two CH-53E's out of McGuire from HMLA-773
tracking SW bound at 1000 feet heading towards Annapolis/DC.Coolest choppers when flying low like this.
Looks like they landed at Annapolis Naval Academy..

Couple McGuire KC-46's JULL-83,84 departing McGuire for TJSJ San Juan.

2 V-22s just landed here in New Castle, a little after 10:30am EDT. And C-32 99-0004 passed by right after, apparently out of PHL.

 

[N4TX]

USS Mount Whitney (the Sixth Fleet command ship) and the USS Mesa Verde (an amphibious dock ship) are both in the Eastern Med, along with the Ford strike group. Also, the strikes at two locations in Syria last night were carried out by TWO F-16s, according to news accounts.
