There's a flight of five C-130s led by CASTL30 along the Jersey Shore at the moment (11:45am EDT)...

Actually, it looks like that might have been an ADS-B hiccup, as the group suddenly reduced to just CASTL30.

And now it's back to five - but they're heading this way so I'll hopefully see for myself in a few minutes...
