I was under the impression from the article that they aren't replacing the C-32As..., but want to replace everything else.
Thanks

Noticed the chase film chopper N407HA Bell 407 from Helo Air Richmond Va.They own a few choppers.
HeloAir provides helicopter charter, NASCAR race transportation shuttle, and aerial photography services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia (VA).
Those C-32A's will go when they get some more new Heavy Pax planes..
Probably they buy some used B-777's and rework them or maybe used B-787 types? Much longer range.
Just like Canada Mil is doing with A-330 used aircraft..
Just got to get those new B-747-800's AF-1's done first

I like the 737 equivalent, it would at least be compatible with the P-8 / C-40...
Considering the experience with the KC-46 having to be reworked 8 ways to Sunday in order to meet the military refueling requirements, it would seem like the obvious choice to me, but the article suggests otherwise.
Frankly, I think any of the people that would be transported should be put into a slide in cargo pod thats moved by a C-17 (they could actually be made quite comfortable), as many as needed could be made relatively cheaply, and any available C-17 could move them.
As it is, the cheapest choice would be a P-8/C-40 modified (I think).
Thanks

Just heard this mentioned on the CW Lemoine livestream. P-8 ran off the MCAS Kaneohe runway into the bay.
Better that than landing the other direction probably. The other direction is a drop off to the ocean.
Probably this TIS-B track. ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live
Some video here. Large military aircraft overshoots runway, ends up in Kaneohe Bay
I don't remember ever having rainy, thick overcast weather like that when I was stationed there.

Tail code YD is from VP-4 "Skinny Dragons" from Whidbey Island..

Type # change made to new Compass Call EC-37B types.. Now EA-37B's.

New EC-37B Gets a Designation Change to EA-37B
Air Combat Command is renaming the EC-37B the EA-37B to reflect its "electronic attack" mission, but it will keep the name "Compass Call."

I do. Been running on that side of the island, the streets were covered ankle deep with water.
Taking sub hunting literally. Dive, dive, dive!!

Heard bit on news today that FAA is closing several MOAs on the East Coast for the holiday so that commercial aircraft can have more routes available. Would expect W72, W110, W386, W107/108 and maybe AR636 & AR 777 to be affected.

Hmm. See another BOE-22 (C-17 #99-0062) from Robins (KWRB) to Charleston AFB (KCHS) with an earlier C-17 flight from DOV to WRB.
Wonder if they re-used the callsign.
From scramble.nl:
99-0062 C-17A 50066/F065/P62 437th AW Active Oct 2012 May 2022
01-0191 C-17A 50099/F098/P91 3rd AS Active 7 Aug 2013 Aug 2022
Thoughts?

AF1 looks to be 09-0018 tonight, departure has been delayed for unknown reasons.
Been pretty balls to the wall the last couple days with flights. So I’m sure they getting it in before Thanksgiving so they can chill.
