Holiday weekend, expect lots of people bugging out early to start their weekend, including POTUS and the Mrs...

11:40 AM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart the White House en route to Fort Lesley J. McNair
12:00 PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart Fort Lesley J. McNair en route to Wilmington, Delaware
12:50 PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY arrive in Wilmington, Delaware, Delaware Air National Guard Base

Look for CAP to start about noon would be my guess.

1910 local BLUE ANGEL 7 with ZDC UHF at FL 190 req direct BRIGS.
Jones Beach NY is next Angels airshow..

Checking vid of Naval Academy show today seems only 3 aircraft in their normal 4 ship Diamond flight.
There were 6 total flying at times but missing one at times.. Maybe Blue Angel 7 as replacement doesn't do the Diamond stuff.
#3 had a battery fault on transit from ADW to Annapolis. Returned to ADW to hop in spare jet. Returned to join a few maneuvers then had another issue so cleared off behind the crowd line to troubleshoot. Got it sorted out and rejoined for the last few maneuvers and the flight back to ADW.

Dover Pelicans.. Rare to see or hear Dover C-5M use the Pelican callsign course nickname of the 9th AS at Dover.
Earlier today Pelican-21 C-5M #69-0024 from Norfolk to KDOV.

Squad logo has a Pelican with mouthful of troops :)

Every time I check FAA TFR site they keep changing the times around here and West Point.

If Anybody heard anything on the blues frequency today from the blue angels today Let me Know as well as fat albert from Jones Beach Airshow
It sounded like they did a full practice show yesterday. I heard them arriving and then later they did a practice show. At first I thought it was just them going up for a land survey. But it was over an hour of "A little mooooore powwweeer". They arrived at about 10AM and did their survey at about 1300 and then a show at about 1600. I'll try to get the audio together later. Freqs. used:
237.8
275.35
284.25
305.5
255.2

The Geico Skytypers used 123.425 as they also did a practice show.
The Air Boss is once again 128.25

I am pretty far away so the signals are not always the best

The WashPost points out that while the White House is talking about how great its diplomacy was in sticking Kenya with the job of providing troops for Haiti...it's an American show pulling the strings down there to get things up and running. And since the Kenyan AF is kinda short on airlift capacity, we'll do the flying, too. And the Post had a photo of a C-17 on the ground there to prove it, with the photo captioned to say it was a C-130. I see the caption has been changed--any of you guys call the photo editor?

Must keep an eye on our stuff going in and out of Nairobi and Haiti...
