One of the HMX-1 helicopters just flew low over the house a bit after 11am EDT. It did not head over toward KILG but appeared to be heading straight to PHL, I suppose to play a role in tomorrow's Philadelphia visit by the president. Apologies for the prop freeze but I had no time to adjust shutter speed...

One of the new VH-92s! I haven't seen one in person yet.

Not technically milair perhaps but I hear what sounds like an open mic on 385.000AM which I have heard Norfolk Port Control in the past. Faint voices sounding like sporadic office talk from what little I understand.
Of course talking stops as soon as I post! Carrier still there. I'm in Norfolk, VA area so other's nearby may want to monitor.

16:07UTC "Hey, we got a stuck button here!..." and gone.

1145 hrs Local; 09-0015 C32, is orbiting near state college, PA. I would assume that it has something to do with the President in Scranton, PA. Maybe waiting for storms to pass
09-0015 reported on 292.8 to AF1 they were in the blue; CAP ac on 372.0 ZNY sec50 @1225L.

Another presidential support aircraft just flew over at 1:45pm EDT, a V-22 showing on ADS-B as NGTHWK32 with no other identification. I wasn't sure what it would turn out to be once it got here but at least I could see it coming for a change. Unlike the VH-92 this morning, this 22 did land at KILG.

One of our C-130s from the 166th is doing touch and gos as well at the moment...

BLUE24 also supporting CORONET EAST 045. Looks as though only 24 will travel over the pond to Mildenhall.
Should be three F-15s back from depot maintainence.
Caught them on recordings today.

1101z 254.600 BLUE 23 and RETRO 71 flight on boom primary.
1117z 255.750 BLUE 23 and 24 A-A on boom secondary. Coordinate their meet up and 24 take over at 1235z.
