Heading to Rockville, MD early today, I was rounding the Beltway at Cabin John and came across a flatbed truck parked on the shoulder where the parkway merges with the Beltway. There was a C-130 fuselage on it. I happened to get a good look at just the right place on the tail tip and saw 165351, one of our local "AX" birds.

1923L - P-8 Poseidon circling southside Hampton Roads. Haven't gotten a frequency yet and it's too dark for anything but a long exposure photo.

1945L - He's peeled off the pattern and heading home.
they were in contact with Giantkiller. Apparently a schedule mix-up and GK was not able to support their mission tonight. Told them to come back any time and they would be happy to support them.

1620L- 2 HMLA-773 Cobra's just went north though my area, A/A on their common 264.2, showed intermittent TIS-B. Looks like they're doing the Hudson River run.
No more Cobras.. Just Vipers for HMLA-773. I know. gonna take me some getting used to..
But if Godzilla walks out of the Hudson to attack NY the Vipers will be ready :)


Maryland A-10 recently working the NJ range. Brrrrrrrip!

Wouldn't be surprised to see more, maybe why Biden cancelled his weekend off
Makos get the weekend off though.. :) Weather forecast not looking good anyway.
Parts of Delaware still a storm mess with power outages and more rain Friday night followed by colder gusty winds all weekend.

Noticed in above pic of Maryland A-10C they are removing their tail numbers as well.

The Philadelphia refinery is no longer there. They have completely removed all of the processing equipment and tanks from the facility!!

PHL has two fuel farms that feed the airport along the Delaware River. Both facilities receive their fuel from ships that come up the river.

That's unfortunate, I thought that an airline had bought them years ago to help mitigate fuel cost changes. It would be a great hedge for the entire area also (to have some refinery capacity that isn't collocated with the rest of all of the refiners).

Thanks
Joel
