Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[Mark]

Lots of tankers headed home from Alaska exercise but don't see anyone dragging fighters back like the
F-16's from Atlantic City.. Maybe they got to base hop home .

Dummy me forgot the A/C F-16's are in Hawaii.. Not Alaska.. DOH!
Anyway this evening 1805 local DEVIL-91 inbound A/C for runway 13 self id as flight of two..
That is there long distance travel callsign but maybe not from Hawaii..

OT but guys up at Reading Pa keep working on this Northrop P-61 Night fighter from WW2..
Slow going but seems to be making progress or we may not live that long..

Definitely looks better than when I saw it last year! I'd hoped to see it last weekend but I was making my debut with COVID so it didn't happen. I've always been fascinated with those Black Widows. Hopefully we really will see this one get off the ground!

Jared,

Nice catch. That's a new A2A for them, I believe.

The AC F-16s returned from Honolulu to Tucson, AZ last weekend as FEUD 11-15 and
FEUD 21-25. They may have travelled with their DEVIL callsign on their way back home.

Nice catch. That's a new A2A for them, I believe.

Notice OTIS-11 HC-130J #170279 VMGR-252 making stops this weekend in the Bahamas at Andros Town MYAF airport.
Went there yesterday and back again today.. Maybe good practice on that short 4k foot Island runway?
OTIS11 Flight Tracking and History 16-Jun-2024 (KCHS - FlightAware

There is a couple USAF C-130J's headed out that way also from MacDill.. HIVE-98,99.
Also a Navy MH-60 VVHR510 from HSM-48 "VIPERS" from Jacksonville Florida in the area.

Since Russians are in Cuba maybe good time for some Bahamas work

Andros also has a DOD/CBP radar installation there, I believe.

United States Navy's Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) is a laboratory that performs integrated three-dimensional hydrospace/aerospace trajectory measurements covering the entire spectrum of undersea simulated warfare. The main AUTEC support base and downrange tracking stations are on Andros Island in the Bahamas

I see Australia RAAF has their first MQ-4C Triton just delivered.. Gonna get 4 of them.
This one is tail A57-001.. Lot of ocean to cover from the Northern Territories. I think they will like these birds.
