Gold flights should be tanking SJ F15E's, and Roma should be tanking LN 492nd Bolars coming back home. SJ's are stopping at Lakenheath on their way to their stint in Jordan. Replacing Lakenheath 494th Panthers.

Kind of odd that two E-6B's operating today in and out of Bangor and AR-777.
First was MANDY-55 #163918 and now PELA-56 #163920.
Yesterday and earlier today was similar off West Coast near AR-5 both out of Travis.
SEED-49 #164386 followed by SWOON-50 #164388 both with some low level routing.
Some type of E-6B Naval/Sub exercise? Rare you get E-6B's with same consecutive mission areas and numerical calllsigns.

Thank you for the information on these freqs. Very much appreciated!

1058z 242.300 A-A No ID. Weak transmissions, possibly the TREND 71 flight getting out of range.
1100z 371.150 GOLD ?? and TABOR 41-45 flight on Secondary boom. Possibly switched to new tanker.
1104z 307.000 TREND 81-84 checking in with ZBW, six mile in trail looking for ROMA 31.
1110z 236.750 ROMA 31 and TREND 81-84 on boom freq. Setup up meeting the tanker then a top off AR before tanker switch.
That's all I had from here. Wish I was home and had the SDR looking for A-A freqs! Unfortunately, WORK gets in the way of my hobby once again! :-(

Surprising article from CNN about recent B-52 flight from Barksdale to Japan and back MYLAR-11.
Say first news crew to cover a long BTF mission like this.. Some good vid too.

Must be a little nerve-racking to spend 33 hours in the air, then be faced with a landing gear malfunction on final approach!

C-130 doing training at Franklin County airport. Can't see it, but hear it on scanner and picked up the plane on trackers for a bit.

Same here, pretty strong as it is only 30 miles from my location, had to chop gain way back --
See a KC-135 Oiler-46 out of OK doing a fl 25k loop over New Mexico so possible T-Bird tanker.
