Vice President Kamala Harris arrives at KILG at 3:55pm EDT on Air Force Two (C-32/99-0004) on the first full day of her presidential candidacy. Motorcade vehicles await in the foreground, and over on the far right one of the C-130s of the 166th Airlift Wing.

Chuck,

Some confusion here (me). Guard Dog CAP is used when POTUS at Camp David. POTUS still in Delaware & DE CAP still operating. Wonder if Nerthanyahu is going to Camp David? Maybe set up CAP for him?

A non-member sent me a file from FlightRadar24 showing a whole string of aircraft bound for IAD and DCA being routed way out off the coast and then way south toward Norfolk before coming back up toward Washington. Very odd. I see no weather that would justify this and I'm still at work. My theory is that there are probably two CAPs operating over Delaware now and Bibi coming into ADW at the same time, which would create a lot of military traffic at or near the same altitude the commercial flights would use. Thereby, move them out to the east. But ATC never calls me to explain their reasoning....

ZNY Is short staffed today, so they're being vectored to other air control sectors and back.

The two Slovak F-16s arrived just after 1800z at their new homebase Malacky Air Base {LZMC] from Greenville, SC.
They could be seen on tracking sites as CRSHR11, flying over my hometown at flightlevel 260 and I copied some
air-to-air comms on <236.250>. There was a live TV stream from Slovakia showing their arrival and the hand-over
ceremony, which lasted more then two hours with a lot of old Warsaw Pact images with military protocol, marching
soldiers and long speeches ...... imagine for the two ferry pilots, having flown ten hours and then having to be in this
show for another two hours ..... anyway it was fun to watch :rolleyes:

Rgr Chuck checking tape MUDDY-41 flight dropping down to FL-260 in area 1650 local.
MUDDY-41 says we are here for the DOGFISH CAP replacing the NOBLES.
Later NOBLE-21,32 depart CAP so assume NOBLE-31 broke and never made it and NOBLE-21 stayed longer to cover.

1900 local sounds like NOBLE 41,42 inbound A/A 297.900 and ZDC 354.150

They are working the Reading/Compton CAP (north Wilmington) as there is bad weather down in southern Delaware. They are keeping up over KILG as the sound is constantly over the house.

Notice USAF GLF5 MANGO-28 has been running local missions on the East Coast.
This was originally a MacDill based bird #01-0028 that got transferred to Hawai a few years back.. Came East from Hawaii the other day.
Guess they needed their help out here or going soon to Gulfstream maint. Used to use SPAR-28 back in the day.
