Rgr Ron says will be uplifting pax at the Pax terminal

RCH-3200 C-17 #00-0174 3 Wg Alaska enroute from St Croix to Dover then will fuel up
for return to PAED. Guess that crew will notice a temperature change though Elmendorf not bad at 30 degrees today.
DEECEE-91 #62-3556 departed Dobbins enroute Honolulu.. Those DC KC-135's sure get a lot of
5-0 work time in Hawaii :)

Caught some RAF Coronet flight this morning on recordings. From looking at ADSBx, it appears they took off from Pease (KPSM) heading up to Bangor (KBGR) then turning toward Nova Scotia. Caught comms on common RAF AR freq discussing diversion airfields, etc. Fighter radios sure sounded like F-35s. Any ideas who this was?

1306z 359.500 ACSOT 9240 and ???? on boom freq.

Have some additions to the Langley T-38 callsigns. Any additional additions/corrections are greatly appreciated.

All I have in addition is KG that sounds like KANG, KT that sounds like KRATE, DO DINO sounded to me like maybe DEVO, TN I've heard as TALON, and RO might be RODEO unconfirmed might have been an F-22.

These are the 25 T-38s I've seen so far. Not sure if I'm missing any ? Langley T-38s

Saw recently this tanker doing a lot of work out of Edwards AFB so maybe going home with some RAF F-35B birds?

Listening via LiveATC and watching on ADSBx, I see the SWASH flight that passed through recently has left St. John's and it looks like they're headed towards Lajes. SWASH 15 is working the radios. He's currently on Gander Center 122.375 and was told that when they reach 50W to switch to HF frequency of 11336 USB Primary and 8864 USB Secondary.

1259L - Lucky to catch two C-5s within 10 minutes of each other. First picture is RCH2325 (85-0007) inbound Dover from Ramstein. Second is ROGUE55 (87-0045) from Dover, looks to be headed to KACY to work the pattern.
1326L- And just minutes later, RCH310 C17 (06-6163) stopped by to say hello!

Here’s something you don’t see every day. On December 11, 2021 I was walking one of our dogs in New Castle when I heard a jet approaching at a high rate of speed, very loud and low. Right over us materialized an L-39 Albatross in full Soviet-era livery. It quickly roared away but I was able to later discover it was N9CY. Every couple of months I’d think of it and check FlightAware or RadarBox – but 12/11/21 was the only flight either ever listed. Until today, two and a half years later. It made 3 circuits around New Castle, landed, then about an hour later took a run down to Cape May. I made sure I was on his approach back to New Castle. At least I know I didn’t hallucinate the whole thing back in 2021 😊

See those Delaware Warbirds guys still doing their Soviet Jet type collection thing still.
I remember some years ago almost every nice Sunday morning say 9am they would send up that Mig-21 and
circle over Cecil County up to and around 15k-20k.They would go right from KILG tower to ZNY to get a unrestricted climb.
Would climb up and down and around then back to KILG in about 20 minutes... Haven't heard them do that in a long time.

Wow.. this was back in 2009.. yikes.. Thought was 4 or 5 years ago.. Time flies.

Yes it does! When we moved to New Castle from NJ almost five years ago, I would see N4213A taken out most Friday mornings, so the schedule had changed by then. And I never saw the Mig - just that L-39 and the one time (until today) for the Soviet plane. I tried to research Delaware Warbirds - looks like they used to do air shows, Mark? I see N4213A L-39 also raced at Reno... "Pipsqueak" ;)
