Off topic, but...

I know times are tough, but really, the government is buying uniforms at Goodwill?

"Goodwill Industries of South Florida Inc.,** Miami, Florida, has been awarded a maximum $15,175,195 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for women's service uniform dress slacks."

Contracts for November 3, 2023

Today's Defense Department contracts valued at $7.5 million or more are now live on Defense.gov.

Funny our first thoughts on Goodwill is the 2d-hand stores. But what is deeply missed is the fact that Goodwill is more a business, where here they are making clothes under contract by disabled individuals. Falls along the same lines like the Blind Industries & Services of Maryland.

Utilizing a social enterprise model, Goodwill South Florida has a diverse portfolio of established Business Services Divisions to help your company succeed, all while supporting our mission of providing job training and opportunities to people with disabilities and other barriers to

1039- Hearing fighter calling out an aircraft on 121.5, a little too weak for me. "You have entered a restricted area". I see a few possibilities over northern DE on ADSB

I’m guessing the F-22s are being operated by the VA ANG (192nd FW). Hearing Bash, Corona, TBolt and Kick and others couldn’t understand.

 

[mdmonitor]

Corn

I have CORONA & KICK as 27th FS calls. So, maybe some sort of joint training. BASH & TBOLT are known VA ANG 149th FS calls. What freqs were they working on?

 

[Mark]

I was out but from tape 1315 local NOBLE-22 with ZDC req lower to 5k and then over to
Dover apch 257.875.. Seems a TOI chase but not sure.

RCH-602 Dover C-5M #85-0005 inbound Key West non-stop from Hawaii.. Must be Navy work.
Imagine 4600+ mile trip and don't need Customs officer after landing

From this past Monday morning a mass launch of US fighters from RAF Lakenheath. I was watching some of this
live Monday at work.. Can't think of any other country that can launch fighters like this.. You see vids of them launch a few here and there etc.
but never like this..

 

[Mark]

F-35's launching ok above but local CAP F-16's having problems.
Only NOBLE-32 made the CAP so NOBLE-21 went rtb Shaw as single.
NOBLE-22,32 hanging on till dark soon in the CAP dodging icing conditions.
Have a feeling Sunday will bring another fighter unit to the CAP.
1805 local NOBLE 22,32 getting ready to rtb Shaw.TEFLON-13 also bugging out.
NOBLE's push Aux 11 on way home 228.800.. Not happy how CAP ended up.

 

[Mark]

Beach CAP back up again this morning TEFLON-21 KC-46 and
NOBLE-11,12 from 55th FS at Shaw.. Hopefully a quieter day for them.

Navy C-2 off Souda Bay enroute Carrier in Eastern Med.


Funny coms on TABOR-31 flight last Month Westbound from Langley to Hill AFB.

 

[Radar412]

This may be a 'duh' question, forgive me if it is, but can anyone answer why it seems that the CAP missions only run, or seem to anyway, during daylight hours?

 

[Dutchmil]

Last Friday HURON 41 departed from Eielson AFB to CONUS, does anyone know where he ended up ?
The KC-135R went to Sioux Gateway KSUX, but I don't think the F-16 or F-35 went there aswell ....
Soundclip with Fairbanks departure and Anchorage center: HURON 41 - 3 November 2023

They used to be 24/7 back in early 2000's when GWB was Pres shortly after 9/11 but over couple years time they
stopped it.. Onle NORAD knows reason
