Could be an interesting ride - the winds in New Castle are howling.
One of the HMX choppers said winds were 29 out of 300 direction..Could be an interesting ride - the winds in New Castle are howling.
Don't get many C-17's into KILG. Should be fun in the wind.
MAKOS/NOBLE-11,12 A/A 284.100 are saying looks we are done early.
RCH-4524 C-17 just popped up on Atlantic Aviation KILG 122.950 and Philly apch 119.750 KILG tower 126.000 cleared to land.
Looks like landing runway 27 from the East.

Going to be an interesting morning at MHT with winds forecast to be around 40-50knots by the time AF1 arrives. Wonder what the crosswind limit is on the VC-25! I’m sure it’s a cakewalk for them but it’ll be fun to watch.
All reports I look at are saying 22mph/19 knots at 2pm, a little after AF1 arrives, though departure will be a little higher, but not 40-50 knots.

Not sure what app/website that is, but I’m a flight instructor out of CON (about ten miles north of MHT) and the aviation forecast is saying possibly 40 knots. Usually it’s higher than forecast and it’s already up to 30 knots, locally. Had to cancel all my flights today not only cause of the TFR, but because the wind is gonna be 3 times the demonstrated limit of the Cessna 172! Pretty wild.

RRR4102 into Dulles earlier.
amazing shot. I assume the British flights are picking up materiel for those pesky little conflicts over seas? I see them regularly making the trip across the pond.
Beautiful Dover C-17.. Now off KILG as DEED-203 calling Quantico Base Ops on 355.300.And here it is, Mark

After pivoting from 11175 kHz to 9031 kHz and then jumping through a variety of different Zulu freqs, ROMAN LAD and NEON SIGN have settled on Z100 [13907 kHz] and are attempting to set up HF data transfer. Apparently no success so far. One discusses changing the 'B' in "1 TTB2.4K" to an 'A' [link to recording on Twitter]. Doesn't quite mean anything to me – I assume modem settings – but someone here might be more familiar. Cheers.
Sounds like they have it working.....
1448L- Hearing MAKO's? A/A 284.1, must be passing through my area, solid signals. Flight of 4.
Edit: Sounds like they're going through a troubleshooting checklist.

SAM350 98-0002 headed back to ADW with Sec'y of State from day trip to Jamaica
1627L- Just caught SAM A/A on 292.8, 09-0015 showing over CT
AF1 landing ADW, over an hour earlier than scheduled
Several Hurburt Field PC-12's or U-28A's as the Air Force calls them working way towards Maine
escorted by HC-130 KING-39 #17-5892 920RQW from Patrick AFB.
The USAF mandates any single engine prop plane headed across the Pond must be accompanied
by HC-130J type or similar. Seem to be dropping into Pease AFB.
Next leg will probably be St Johns or Goose Bay.
