Supposed to be some AH-Zs at Louisville airshow this weekend.. Maybe these guys?
Yeah you probably saw a couple UH-1Y Venom choppers along with the two AH-1Z Vipers.
They always seem to send these two types out together most times..
Quite a show.. The McGuire based Marines go on at 7:47PM local time.
Would be nice show sitting in a nice chair near the River with a local Bourbon drink or two
They even have a UPS-747-800 for flyby..

President Biden just landed at KILG aboard C-32 09-0015... Pretty much on schedule, which was a 6:05pm arrival. Though I'm guessing the original plan was to fly in via HMX-1?
Yeah that is about 10+ hour drive from here.. They do their airshow kind of likeWow, that *is* quite a lineup! Full day and evening's worth of entertainment.
some of the Aussie city airshows who fly C-17's between buildings and stuff.(Lots of past vids on them)
US pilots would lose their wings if they did that here but very entertaining way to do a city airshow.
If Louisville keeps this going they will have the most popular airshow in the US besides Oshkosh which takes a week
and miles of walking.

Expect a lot of transports bound for Ukraine area in the coming week. WashPost reports “once the $95 billion foreign aid bill is finalized, it would take less than a week for some of the weapons to reach the battlefield, depending on where they are stored. The legislation includes about $60 billion for Ukraine, with most of the remainder slated for Israel and U.S. partners in Asia.”
I’m sure the Israelis will be up for replenishment, too. Especially air defense missiles.

This cat did not waste any time. Can’t make heads or tails of the heading. Continued East off the coast and dropped off.

Yeah I had SWATH-13 give final offload report on 260.900. Four contacts and 13.1k offloads.
As for Ukraine the commercial 747's have been rolling out of Dover almost daily for weeks now to Eastern Poland.(EPRZ)
Never really ever stopped.
That is just Ukraine Reg small cargo commercial flight. They work South America a lot
hauling Amazon package type light cargo..

Way off topic but for years I follow that pilot steveo1kinevo on u tube who was based in Florida for longest time but
now working out of Monmouth Executive NJ airport.. He recently did a flight from Monmouth to Cape May so he just posted a nice aerial tour of the South Jersey shore.. Also a quick aerial spin tour tour of Cape May CG station and the NAS Wildwood museum at the end.. I spent a couple Summers in Avalon in early 80's so brings back good memories.
For the Jersey shore fans and Cape May check out his u-tube page.
