There's been some VADER flights in & out of Alpena / Phelps Collins the past few days.

Chuck in Detroit / NODAK 1
Chuck,

I wonder if it has anything to do with the CO ANG F-16s currently at Langley for CAP duty? Maybe personnel switch out or personnel/equipment being returned to CO if CAP duty is done?

Oh yeah forgot the CO guys 3 months is up come June 30.. Think you are correct..Time for replacements..
Will A/C F-16's hold the line for a while or someone else like Ohio ANG F-16's?
They are rated Mission ready. 180FW Deemed Mission Ready

Must be Navy/Marine aviation party at NAS Fallon.. At least a half dozen Convoy pax planes in from Oceana
the last 2 days and Whidbey Island etc. Last minute gearing up for Carrier Wing deployments?

ATOM-31 WC-135R #64-14831 Constant Phoenix into Curacao from MacDill.. Nuke sniffers really working that Venezuela area lately.
Guess seeing if that Russian sub is leaving any traces around.

We hear a lot of F-16 refueling coms around here and hope this never occurs..
Always seems routine but stuff can happen.
Nice of the USAF news to add the X posted audio recording.. Guess they don't mind aviation buffs listening in.. sometimes.

0748 - CLUE1 flight (x2 T-38s) departed Griffiss (KRME) en route to Terre Haute, IN (KHUF) for their first stop on the way back home to Holloman AFB.
0758 - SHABA01 (C-12J) departed Griffiss (KRME). Although I did not actually catch their IFR clearance, they are traveling with the T-38s so I’m assuming they will also stop at Terre Haute.
CLUE 1 (63-8247) and 2 (63-8187) departing Griffiss yesterday!

09-0018 from McGuire must be AF1, on the way into Hagerstown later than planned.
2221- KHGR tower has announced the ramp freeze in effect.
2226- AF1 told to change to 126.825. I was listening to TRACON on 126.1 and didn't hear AF1 there. Barely audible on 126.825.
