Yes it was indeed a flight of five. For some reason ADS-B dropped four of them for a while, then all five reappeared. I could not get all five in one frame, but here they are approaching New Castle. They later circled around KILG, then flew back low over my house - ironically I just finished watching Masters of the Air last night and was certainly open to the idea of big four-engine prop planes flying right over my head

I recorded the pass over the house - hopefully you can see it via this link if you're interested...

Chuck.
Castle flt checked in with KMUI twr 126.2 @1255L.
Looks like Castle flt almost at New Castle, possible a/a was 343.0 just a few brief callouts.

Thank you - I'm far more accomplished as a still photographer, but thought I should give it a shot since they were filing by one-by-one. I've lived here in New Castle five years and never saw them get five 130s up together before.
The 494th and 335th Fighter Squadrons were the units defending Israel from an attack by Iran
Sharks didn't stay long as feet dry from Hawaii already coming East..
Another McGuire pair SCOOB-01,02 inbound Travis now from McGuire this morning.
Nice Frank very nice... yeah its taken the 166th a long while to get all their new/used H tails into shape from Ga and Kentucky ANG
and depot work and crew training.. Sure look sharp with those 8 blade props and TLC. Not sure if they have all 8 in shape yet.
Have a feeling won't be too long before some overseas work.

Not milair but DC area incident --
Off topic - but wondering if anyone might have frequencies for a few civilian airshow teams performing at Cherry Point next month. I checked The Spectrum Monitor 2023 and 2024 issues of the Airshow Guide, as well as Google searches and RR searches, but found nothing.
Would anyone possible have frequencies for;
Hobie Tolson
Pitts Special S-1D
SRC Airshows
RJ Gritter Airshows
Mini Jets Airshows
Randy Ball Fighter Jets
Also, is 348.100 still good for the AV-8B Demo Team?

I'm under the weather...meant low and slow.How does it go fast and slow
Just a heads up to all, if anyone is headed to the Cherry Point Airshow May 11 or 12th, you will be required to download a free parking pass in order to park on base (usually on runway 5R I believe). The link to get a parking pass is here (NOTE: IF you purchase any tickets a parking pass is included).
