1346 local - Just had two AC Vipers arrive at KACY

Anyone know if this was the Brave flt DC ANG? They’re not DC jets, but I know there are a few airframes being moved around between squadrons. Or are these some of the jets coming home from the sandpit?

With BLUE93 still on the descent to McGuire, I’m expecting at least two more AC tails to arrive shortly.
Are you at ACY?

1418 local Had a TABOR-31 at at FL-10k looking for runway 19 and FL-2k at Andrews on Balt apch 360.700
Sounded like a single ship.

1511-1514 local DIABLO-11 with ZNY 335.600 at FL-210 getting stronger here.
1518 local DIABLO-11 push ZDC 363.000 direct Atlantic City airport . Tried them on their Devil ops 261.000.
1522 DIABLO-11 with Devil Ops says "Seafair? aircraft 328" Push 285.400 at FL-15k. Guess Navy type aircraft.

1530 DIABLO-11 with A/C apch 327.125 says I don't have a database for your location so asks for a heading.
Doesn't sound like a fighter. Visitor for sure..

When DIABLO11 switched to tower - he was advised that the cable was up .. so just FYI
Yeah Terry a head scratcher for sure.Can't find anything remotely with callsign Diablo
It moved fairly fast inbound switching Centers every few minutes but didn't have that masked fighter voice.
and last 3 digits Navy/Marine 328 doesn't come back to anything like that also and the old school strict UHF coms all the way in.
Too bad 610 Hawk didn't stay there for a couple more hours.. Nice F-16 pics though Hawk :)

Great list. It's weird that I never heard any TABOR callsigns on the scanner, only BRAVE flt, but I guess that confirms that 352 and 226 were part of that deployment and that explains the travel pods. I wonder why only two showed up to KACY yesterday, and 250 and 346 were nowhere to be found.

Back when the 119th first deployed in October, CENTCOM posted a few photos of their arrival, which were of 87-0250 and 87-0346.

Earlier today 2 KC-46's from McGuire, 21-46087 & 20-46079 as Loki 01 and Loki 02 left for Hawaii. Currently KC-46's 20-46072 Loki 12 and 15-46010 Loki 13 ( behind Loki 12 due to maintenance issue) heading west and I assume to Hawaii also.
0153 local - LOKI01 and LOKI02 are currently on their way back to McGuire. 01 is passing Tonopah in Nevada @FL370, home of the F-117s, and 02 is over the Sierra-Navada mountains in California FL360.

I'M still confused as to why the two I heard used DC ANG call (Wild) & freq (238.175), but ended up landing at ACY.
