Res up in AR-80 for 2330z seems for PACK-25 KC-46A with P-8A Pioneer-66 out of Pax River..
Don't see many test A/R's with Navy P-8A's.. They fly so far in training missions seems they never need tanking.
Pax River P-8 folks probably testing some new method or gadget for the P-46 tanker.

Only seven years ago Andrews KC-135 did first A/R with a P-8A also from VX-1.

Off topic, but I've noticed that Dover's lineup for the "First State Airshow" has really improved over the last month.

Recent additions include an F-15 "Capabilities Showcase," and F-22 static display, P-8 static, B-52 static, KC-135 demo/static, and an M1A1 Abrams display. Less than a month to go, I wonder if there will be any more last minute additions.
