Joining the discussion a bit late, I well recall the days of day and night CAPs over Washington soon after 9-11, which resulted in a lot of very bored fighter pilots trying to stay awake by chatting on the radio and trying to avoid resorting to karaoke. So I'm always surprised when today's CAPs shut down.
The assumption now seems to be that any air attack will come from small planes on VFR and perhaps flown by an amateur pilot unfamiliar with night flying. I can tell you from having flown at low altitudes on the fringes of P-56 on many nights that it is very difficult to pick out even the White House in the darkness. It's buried in the trees and is a low building surrounded by taller buildings. I'm not familiar with the Delaware locations. Of course, with GPS and a professional IFR pilot, the danger increases. But someone has figured the probabilities and has concluded that we're now doing all we really need to do.

1010- Couple of new Sikorsky UH-60s (Whiskey 34 & Army 14514) transiting our area heading southwest. New deliveries?
Ron, They came out of the Sikorsky plant in CT. Whiskey 34 came out of your area a few days ago if I remember correctly.
RCH-051 #58-0120 just off Phoenix North eastbound.. Late start so assume just
heading for Northeast US Coast today..
NOBLE-21,22 ready to depart CAP Southbound req coastal VFR to Myrtle Beach.
Clear sunny skies so guess they are doing the beach tour for home.
Maybe another Sikorsky delivery or India training flight..
Mode s (801474) MH-60R tail # IN758 showing usual Navy FFAB123
Maybe headed for Port of Baltimore or Pax River?

Running a few minutes late, just arriving at KILG now 12:03pm EST...
Saw this export come out of Owego NY. Seems a Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky plant there that makes sub assemblies
and ships them to the Sikorsky CT plant then flown back to Owego for final assembly and export.
Seems Owego NY plant doing most of the new exports.
Lockheed Martin awarded $379 million helicopter contract: What it means for Owego
