1225- Couple of NAS JAX P-8s working up the coast. Now over Richmond & Williamsburg.
1127- Looks like CAP tanker on way down. Now over NYC. Also hearing acft on ZDC Leesburg (285.45) and a couple of mic clicks on 260.9. Looks like CAP being set up.

Speaking of E-6B's seems Northrop Grumman down in Louisiana doing the Block 2 upgrades
on them is getting the turnaround time on them from over a year's time to a goal of 180 days each.
CAP getting underway.. Tanker WIDE-33 #61-0310 off Pease inbound and heard NOBLE-11 also on Huntress 260.900

Heard weak chatter on 246.9, attributed to the P-8s since it came in strongest over the James, one station louder and one quieter.
I think it was Larry van horn that I met in the 80's..... He mentioned that when we went into (either panama or grenada) that there was a long EAM that was sent, what made it interesting was that it was being sent over evertything from HF to SATCOM that he was monitoring, the time delays between everything was interesting .
Thanks

Single F/18 dropping down with Pot apch Baltimore 317.425 "something 03".. direct destination.
Maybe BWI airport.. Navy game starts at 3:30PM so maybe for that.

Two C130s already there, scheduled for departure for flyover anytime from now to 1500L. Wouldn't be surprised if they added a jet into the mix for the USNA flight
At any time there will generally be an E6 operating from East, West or Central. Many of the messages heard over HF which people call EAMs clearly aren't EAMs (luckily the buffoons in charge haven't extended their interference in other countries affairs to a nuclear level).
Again generally, there will be a message not long before the E6 takes off. One might conclude that these are perhaps Force Directional Messages. Looking at patterns one might also notice similar 30 character messages prior to significant tanker movements.
FOXTROT and SKYKING would probably be more 'interesting' (or worrying!).
Luckily the only very long messages these days can be seen to be exercise related.

Looks like the two Navy Football flyby 130s are already powered up for later today (two USMCR birds from Texas):

That F/18 callsign sure sounded like Alouette-03 which would be Canada CF/18 Hornet.
He didn't say Navy but self id as single F/18.. See what turns up later..
See one of your KC-130J's up as DRAGO-51 now.
Nighthawk 2 says 5 minutes out from KILG showing a bit.

Hmmm, if CF18 then it maybe went to pax. I'll ask someone at Martin State if that's where it went but I doubt.
One of the CAP F-16's NOBLE-12 has Pressure problem and running check list and descending to 8k
pilot is on 100% oxygen A/A 260.900. Plan is to rtb Shaw soon as possible.. Over to ZDC 307.250 with his plan.
NOBLE-12 cleared direct Shaw at FL180.At that altitude his cabin press is holding at FL 10k interior so feels fine.
NOBLE-12 pushes Pax River area on 281.400 then some coms heard on ZDC Norfolk 327.800 but NOBLE-12 will stay
on 260.900 for relays. He asks Huntress for relay to base Ops Sec for any latest wx reports.

No CF18 at MTN as I thought
COSMIC-1 out of Atlantic City replacing NOBLE-12 in the CAP..
Be dark in a couple hours so not long to go... Says NOBLE-12 made it back safe via Shooter Ops on CONR-2.

I remember when I lived in Nashville some CF-188s as Canada calls them were inbound and the controller was one of the more laid back ones and he asked what branch of service he was from and the Hornet responded Air Force the controlled was baffled and the Hornet driver had to explain they were from Canada.

Three "whitetops" just departed New Castle at 3:45pm EST - heading home after presidential duty. Apologies for the "prop freeze" - I barely got out the door to see them. 
The two Ospreys did not hang around, taking back off five minutes after arriving a bit after 1pm.
