N757AF now pinging on the ramp.. NKS1618 Spirit airline diverting from racetrack Prob running out of fuel
Civy planes back inbound Pitt and away goes the Don. That Spirit airline just had to wait 5 more minutes.. DOH!
No wonder rated Americas worst airline.

Spirit probably did not have a choice - Op Specs probably require the change. If there was a further delay - they may have been below their limits to their alternate so better to follow procedure

Yeah I meant FBI should have coordinated with USSS on one of their aircraft arriving at KPIT.

TROY is not an FBI c/s…?

 

[FIREBOX2914]

22:55 EDT TROY 211 headed to KPIT (should be a FBI helo) talking to KPIT tower
No departure yet from KPIT which is messing up the commercial flights a bit.

Troy should be DHS
Yeti is the FBI Birds typically.

Those 3 P-8A's on slow Polar trip to Thule or Iceland? Only doing 410 knots but slowly getting faster.Must be heavy.
Now the P-8's are starting a slow drop down over Pa. Niagara Falls trip?

Guess no more CAP's this weekend as notams cancelled and Potus back in DC.
Shaw guys are probably happy on that

Looks like one or two of the AV-8B Spades headed South for home?

 

[mdmonitor]

1025- Looks like the P-8s are doing the Niagra Falls thing.

 

[Tech792]

1105L- Looks like DICEY 91 (TEX-2) coming south on the Hudson River from Pennsylvania.
1115L- KG01 (T-38) off the NJ coast heading northeast. Think I heard a female pilot check in on ZDC 281.45

2114 local Blackhawk chopper on Fed channel 136.275 says coming North... Not tracking on adsb.

I assume this was TROY211, lifted from HEF at ~2120.

Did they say on 136.275 that they were a Blackhawk?

TROY is CBP Air and Marine Operations. Usually see their P3s and 60s using those call signs. On CBP VHF freqs they’re OMAHA when communicating with BP, OFO, or the marine units (MIKE callsigns).

Yes I missed callsign but did self ID as a Blackhawk.. so rare I get strong signal on that freq...

From the White House:

The President is rescheduling his trip to Texas, which was originally planned for Monday, July 15.

VP to postpone trips also.

1424 Local: Usual orbit just south of Wilkes-Barre PA by KC-46A 19-46064 Pudgy22.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Part of ROMA flights, ROMA72 in ACARS

 

[AirScan]

Anyone have any thoughts?

PUDGY 22 with Allentown Approach (LiveATC 124.450) requested a hold and mentioned something about "waiting for the flyover". Handed off to Wilkes-Barre Approach 120.955 (not covered by LiveATC). Now looks like they are back on Allentown Approach. I'll check the archives on the hour.

1450- PUDGY 22 to 123.800 Philadelphia Approach

Yep I stand corrected - still dealing with week 4 of covid so not thinking correctly.

Part of ROMA flights, ROMA72 in ACARS

Seems to be an FMS miscode on ACARS ? Maybe PUDGY did a last minute tailswap with 20-46082 that seems to be the real ROMA 72, and didn't update the box ?

 

[RaleighGuy]

Not sure how PUDGY 22 would be part of the ROMA 72 flight that is currently eastbound in the middle of the Altantic Ocean ?

AES:AE5FAB GES 0 2 .96064S FLIGHT MCGY22 F44AMCGY22#M1BPOS/ID96064S,ROMA72,

Yeah I saw after I posted my initial response and edited my post above. Looks like PUDGY had the wrong ID entered for some reason.

edit- I see now that the PUDGY 22 aircraft also operated as ROMA 72 yesterday, so looks like the FMS didn't update, hence the confusion. Although I see the Flight ID has the correct flight number MCGY 22. Not sure how that happens ?

The real ROMA 72 today

When PUDGY 22 was working Allentown Approach the second time they entered another hold for weather, but no mention of what they were doing up north in the first hold.
