BLUE-02 KC-10 #85-0029 Eastbound at FL37k from Travis over Denver
BLUE-01 KC-46 #16-46019 showing just off at Pease.. Both probably staging somewhere in the East.

Pease and Westover and Canada up that way will be busier this Summer as Bangor shutting down their main huge runway 200ft Wide by11k long.
from May till October for repaving.Main tourist season but can't do that kind of work in Winter up there :(
Wonder where Bangor will move all their KC-135 tankers?

Notice Altrav tankers haven't used GOLD callsign since last December and T-38's around Texas
are using that callsign all to their own and often... Maybe GOLD off the Heavy tanker Altrav list for now.
Old altrav callsign I remember from the 90's. Was easy.. Eastbound on deployment GOLD.. RTB after deployment was BLUE.
Big backlog of F-35's awaiting delivery down at Ft Worth. Couple weeks ago said there was 26 tails
ready to go after this new simple engine hyper-acoustic audio ring mod is completed...

RTB Toledo on AUX 6 323.3
Rgr the cold NW wind conditions gave me good radio coms as last logged NOBLE's checking in with ZOB 338.350 Warren,Pa
just Northeast of Pittsburgh heading back into Ohio.Everything over Central/West Pa was coming in good.

BLUE-01 KC-46 out of Pease Southbound FL360 along coast headed to MacDill Fla according to ACARS.
Wonder what is eventually coming from that area?
BLUE-02 from Travis still looks more on course for around Dover/McGuire/Langley area.. hmm.

The presidential aerial parade just (noisily) arrived in New Castle for this evening's transport back to DC...

I didn't get a chance to post this immediately after it happened because my main PC system was in the middle of a hard drive backup project, but here's a cast member of the presidential show circling in to land at KILG about 12 hours ago. This was taken from my upper deck (as are most of my photos) - when I tell people they often fly over the house they sometimes don't get I mean literally over the house :LOL:

E4 inbound to NCR. Anyone else find it hilarious that it's using ORDER66 as a call sign?

As I said, kind of ominous really.... Especially for an E-4B.

Just to make sure, everyone knows the reference it can relate to this...


and also possibly this...


Thanks

1300- C-32 # 09-0018 doing patterns at ADW for the second time today. Maybe working out some maintenance kinks?
Where are all the older C-32As? Haven't seem much of them lately.

RAF Tanker ZZ335 RRR9302 towed two F-35B types to Lajes today.
Maybe coming over to work with US Marines Stateside.
