I thought these were Davis-Monthan birds, right? Would make sense going cross country.

 

[Waltz41]

A buddy told me he got info they are still going to Dover, like the first cell did and only the tanker is headed west. ?? Doesn't make sense as I'm sure these guys want to just get home......but maybe that's the flight plan?? So keep an ear, er.....scanner out for them.....

Martin ANG ramp is OOS and barricaded due to the construction activity.

Federal Aviation Administration: NOTAM Search

notams.aim.faa.gov

Type KMTN and you will see all the NOTAMS about the construction.

The whole runway is going to shut down shortly for a complete repaving -- something like close to 20 days or so

Thanks..Guess that is why last two groups of Tabors did Dover last weekend.
I caught them last Sunday somewhat departing Dover Westbound..

11:06 local a TABOR-54 climbing up push Potomac 291.625.
11:36 local TABOR-61 self id as flight of 3 direct Baltimore at 2k.
About this time Kansas Wylie 61,62 tankers came East and picked up someone near Roanoke Va down to 19-20k and headed back West.

Notice ROMA-32 still holding altrav altitude of about 20k.. If it cuts loose then will see a altitude change.

Deldot traffic cams still on at the beach and DSP N1SP chopper circling the beach area.
Maybe will do Marine 1 anyway back to DC. DSP chopper returns to KGED.

ROMA-32 KC-10 with 3-4 A-10's can probably drag them a good ways West from Goose Bay.
NOBLE's planning on bugging out to the South 1 mile in trail.
1601 local NOBLE-21 flight getting clearance to Langley on ZDC 354.150

Just noticed here come the four SWASH PC-12's sw bound.
Looking for that Florida Panhandle A/A coms like Ed says on 321.000. "you guys are about 70 miles ahead of us"

From the White House, the motorcade carrying POTUS arrived at Gordon’s Pond in Rehoboth at 3.30pm.

Marine One lifted off at 3.36pm, 20 hours and 31 minutes after arriving in Rehoboth, headed for Joint Base Andrews.

 

[Tech792]

1625L- Caught tail end of KING 70 flight inbound to Gabreski 328.475 "See you in a few".
Also see a few GOLD tankers off of NJ and LI heading SW.

 

[RaleighGuy]

Look for more troops heading to the Middle East

 

[jetcrafter]

Maybe time for one more hop today to Florida Ed?

You called it, Mark. They're back up passing through your area now heading South.

ROMA 32 is still trucking west, guess these are DM's A-10s?

McGuire sending a couple tankers out towards AR-777 SHARK-01,02.
Probably the Alert standby tankers. I thought Maine tankers might do the same later.
"Audio kill" standing by for traffic on 11175 now working CHIVALRY on 8992 exiting the Net at 2238z.

2040 local RCH-011 with mainsail radio check on 11175. Both LC with each other.
Odd callsign.. never ever heard a RCH-011 before hmm. Also HF 8992 is busy with different traffic than 11175.
There is a RCH-085 KC-10 #85-0029 cutting South thru Panama for Western South America from MacDill AFB.
Strange time of night to be headed down that way.

2101 local/010z RCH-011 mainsail radio check again on 11175 Andrews responds L+C 5x5. RCH-011 also5x5 Thanks.. Out.

RCH2012 C-5M arriving in Rota shortly. I was hearing this one on the oceanic HF freqs a few hours ago. Their radio seemed to be screwed up, like the mic kept cutting out. When requesting a position report, ATC wasn't copying them either.
