11:45 EST EGY1104 C130 Hex 010079 inbound to Dover - descending down from 43K heading towards me.

Actual altitude displayed on my screen is 16K

Make that not Dover - perhaps KBWI

I had them at 47,400 then descending to 250 feet in about 5 seconds - quite a ride! I guess they're glad to be on the ground at BWI after that

1330- I notice that Extender 33 (KC-10 # 86-0033) a Travis 62ndAW bird off Piedmont Airport, Greensboro NC. Kinda strange place for a KC-10 to stop over.

I believe they get MX done there.

Might be the reason we're seeing a string of RC-12s coming into BWI recently.

December 13/17: Contracts-Life Cycle Services The US Army has awarded Northrop Grumman a $750 million contract

for life cycle services on the service’s Special Electronic Mission Aircraft fleet. 75 fixed-wing airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance planes will be covered under the agreement, including RC-12X Guardrail, the Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance Surveillance System and Airborne Reconnaissance Low variants. The period of performance is one year, with eight one-year options, and work to be carried out includes program management, systems engineering and modification, supply chain management, and aircraft modifications and elective upgrades. King Aerospace, Inc. and M1 Support Service will also participate in work under the contract.

Except were getting MC-12s not the RC-12Xs at BWI.

The MC-12's have been coming from Hunter AAF in Savannah c/s Shady, and Biggs AAF, TX c/s Decoy. They're also based at Siera Vista AAF, in AZ c/s Rebel/Rail.

The RC-12Xs are the ones floating through HGR with Sierra Nevada.

HOBO19 59-1470 circling the Ukraine/Poland border, a couple years ago that plane was linked to the buffs, meanwhile 99-0003 repositioning headed east out of Germany.

Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

Mid Atlantic Milair Forum? The following might serve as an example of why there are a few messages outwith the 'area' 0000- 2 SPURs holding for Minot BUFFs. Link - SPUR 71-72 and GRIMM 01. Obviously the buffs are going somewhere and a bigger view is interesting. Currently we have LAGER182...

They could also be stopping in to work with the Guardrail folks at NSA.

Apparently, it dropped 25,000 chinese take-out menus during it's trip.

10 minute you pick-up!!

82-8000 departed ADW headed to Warsaw as SAM28, carrying additional WH saff and pool press.

Just curious @mdmonitor since POTUS isn't aboard does SAM28 make your list?

Two E-4Bs in the air...

Loki82 just took off from Offutt, and Grim99 just took off out of Andrews.

 

[john8436]

Just heard comms with KC-135 (62-3569) on AR-20 Primary (341.7500). I assume that it was with GRIM 99. They were saying they could accommodate their request. I assume to refuel them in AR-20.

 

[krokus]

E-4B did land at ADW. Left Wright-Patt then went south to Charlotte NC area the headed north to ADW.

Did the E-4B work the area near Stanly County Airportm
