1629L - NASA501 (N501NA) doing a lobe pattern over KLFI Langley. NASA Airborne Science Program calendar lists the activity until 17 Apr as "EPA TEROS WEST". From EPA:
EPA, partnering with NASA, is developing an airborne remote sensing system called Transportable Environmental Resource Observation Suite (TEROS). The instrument supports landscape analysis such as urban infrastructure mapping, land cover change, wetland and coastal zone change detection, and water quality research on algal blooms and mine drainage sediments.

The instrument suite is comprised of two hyperspectral imagers that cover the visible to short wave infrared region, a thermal camera for temperature sensing, and a mapping camera for the production of 3D digital terrain models. The TEROS package is certified to fly on common Cessna aircraft as an underbelly pod configuration. This allows TEROS to be shipped to field study locations and operate using local aircraft providers.

DEVIL 11 "cleared to KACY via the DM101 .... climb maintain 2k expect 24K ten minutes after departure ,departure channel 6 squawk 6572 ". That is how they are provided their clearance. Presume DM stands for DUKE MOA.
Yeah they don't take long to climb up from ACY as they are at about FL200 when they make Dupont waypoint
and to FL240 very shortly after.. Then when they get to Harrisburg area HAR : HARRISBURG navaid | OpenNav
They start asking for descent permission to 18k for that SLT Slate Run area that DP posted :) I lose them when they start working low in that range up there.

1400- Some 27th FS F-22s out in W386 (228.45/233.525). Sounds like lead is teaching a new guy the ropes.

1405- E-4B # 73-1677 off ADW. Working ZDC Linden (133.55). Didn't catch callsign--????-42. Maybe heading back to Offutt?

1420- Blackjack 4 (MH-65D # 6511) working Wash Helo (134.35) & ADW (118.4)
The E-4B (# 73-1677) was heading into Wright Patterson AFB (KFFO) this evening.

It was using the callsign "MAYOR 21" ??? as it made its approach into KFFO.

What's this all about?

Interesting comment was just staging/fuel stop there at Lehigh before departure to Philadelphia.
Maybe they will do one of those City Army SOAR type chopper exercises into Philly over the weekend?
Would be cool to see some Blackhawks zipping up Broad Street LOL. At 23 per day where they gonna put them all?
Maybe time to start a low band search 40-55 MHZ when they get to town. Example tonight UH-60 #95-26654 inbound
local Cecil Cty airport with his Delaware Army Ops 46.900 FM.

If it is training scheduled for Philly, I would have expected some local news coverage. When they did the Army exercises in 2022 with SAR and mass casualty drills, there were multiple stories about it ahead of time and that was only a couple Blackhawks involved.

They mention the port of Philadelphia, so I assume by boat.

Thanks
Joel
Normally Antwerp Belgium is port of shipping for Europe Army gear rotations but last two years they have also used Denmark
as port of call.. On wheels so they can tow choppers on and off vehicle type cargo ships.

As mentioned above this is US Centcom rotation so assume headed to the Middle East. Kuwait has huge depot for US Army tanks and choppers etc.
Once over there they will probably scatter around to various area bases.
