They were using 321.000 for A-A had them on the radios from 151-241 PM EDT Local. They talked quite a bit. I see now (451 PM Local) that they are almost at CYYT to land. Listening on LiveATC now.

RCH-343 #93-0602 went to Pease AFB earlier.. Maybe the A-10's went into there?
RCH-134 now inbound Bangor

RCH-343 shows KPSM to ETAD Spangdahlem Germany next...
RCH-134 shows Bangor to EGPK Glasgow Scotland next..
A-10's in and out of US do tend to stop at Glasgow and Spang on Altrav occasions.
If Glasgow there will be lots of video posted. Maybe declare a Holiday..
A couple years ago May 2022 the fence line at Glasgow was packed with photogs watching MD A-10's arrive.
Could be last chance to see a large A-10 deployment ever. The Scots love them..
