Guess till Travis gets some KC-46's they will be the last active KC-10 squadron.. Gonna take a long while.
McGuire supposed to get about 1 KC-46 per month but falling behind for now till they get 24 total.

ASY-460 C-17 #A41-211 inbound Dover req 90k fuel and 7 crew trans.
Can say one thing for sure.. Poland must be huge ammo/gear dump these days with all the stuff headed that way lately.
Not near quite like Southern England before D-Day but a lot of gear.
My WAG says a large Spring/Summer offensive coming up over there.Sadly just like the old days :(

0830- Just caught COSMICs talking to BANKER 99 on 228.9 ref to boom freq 231.65, sounded like they had some kind of issue with 231.65 but I think are going back to try again.
0846- BANKER 99 with Huntress again on 228.9, I have this listed as CAP secondary

From yesterdays CYOW CAP when the SONIC CF-18s RTB to Bagotville/CYBG they would switch to either AUX14 or AUX16 presumably for A-A. I wasn't able to catch either frequency. Any of the northern guys (yow777, CYUL) happen to catch these frequencies or know what they are ? I never did catch any fighter A-A activity all day. While in the CAP the fighters did mention a "channel 7" once as well. Only frequencies I heard used for the CAP were 341.300 (SIDECAR) and 364.200 (boom secondary). Not sure what boom primary was, all aircraft that tried it reported interference on it.

Saw notam for airshow in Raleigh NC for next weekend..
Neat community airshow for $5 but needs a few SJ F-15s s :)
Was pretty much disappointed with the airshow, parking was terrible, it was crowded and displays were poorly set up, too close together and blocking view of runway. Not much there, I think the 1968 DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, that carried jumpers was the highlight, a medical helo, an Army helo with no one around to talk about it, and earlier before clouds and winds came in a few small planes with smoke trails. Lots of vendors and ground displays, most having nothing to do with aviation, but for $5 you can't complain.

Was out but on tape had COSMIC 1,2 rtb to Atlantic City 11:30 local replaced by NOBLE 21,22
out of Ohio... On way in at 11:10am were asking about being Marsa with COSMIC? Say again? How do you spell that?
Guess they never heard of that local A/C Alert callsign.
This current rain front runs from Florida panhandle to Ottawa..ugh! All those Tornados in Mississippi last night too.
