Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

Definitely off topic is the solar eclipse NASA WB57 is chasing it across Mexico. But there are a bunch of military assets flying in the path of totality.

For us here in the maryland area, if you look when there is sufficient cloud covering, you can see -- with good sun glasses -- the moon cross the lower part of the sun.

Couldn't quite catch a callsign, here's a VH-3D departing Pax River this afternoon

 

[Mark]

At approx. 1410 local: TREND-91 landed at KCEF - Westover Air Reserve Base, MA

I had TREND-71 flight of 4 first at 12:26PM followed by TREND-81 then TREND-91.
Guess that explains GOLD tankers staging up North the last 20 hours.
Also noticed a couple C-17's into SJ over the past week.

On a milair note, saw FOX 840 (UC-12M, 163840) landing at KBKL while birdwatching this morning. Not sure who it was bringing in from MCAS Beaufort on a Monday morning.

Trends should be Seymour Johnson F-15E's going to the sandpit via a stop off at Lakenheath here in the UK. All Golds scheduled to land at Mildenhall.

 

[colp73]

Just an update from across the pond. One of the cells have scrubbed so only six due now today.

Tomorrow there are two ALTRV's up for the remaining SJs and also the 492nd Bolars which are due back to Lakenheath after their US tour! 🇺🇸

I'm at Gravelly Pt awaiting the flyover. Should be for Marine Col. Gross. I think I heard PCT mention an AH-1Z.

Now on 134.35 and 264.2

 

[freqhopping]

DRAGO02 also on 264.2 with hard time of 1151.

 

[frank3si]

Just had an AH-1Z Viper fly over very low at 12:40pm EDT - not showing on ADS-B. Couldn't get out onto the deck in time to get much more than this. It was really moving!
