Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

Thanks, I thought they usually fly in multiples. I was trying to find A to A for that reason. Toro and ally now inbound topeka.
Normally Military travel from the east like to fuel at gyy. Fuel is usually lower cost in IN as well.

I think CAP ended as heard IGOR-21 with Dover apch headed home on 132.450..
CAP was supposed to run to 1430 local..

I was out until a little while ago, reviewing recordings I had HMX-1 277.175 active between 11:23 - 11:29 local. About the only time I copy activity on it is when they are enroute to or departing from Camp David. Activity on 270.9 ended about 10 minutes later.

OT but DC-10 tankers keeping busy in California.. One out of Santa Monica and the other San Bernadino airport.
Pretty hairy taking these birds down into those hills.
Up North at Chico fire they have two OV-10 Broncos circling that call the shots from US Forest Service.

Looks like RCH/MC callsigns are interchangeable. So how about MCFAMC? And why would they use one versus the other?






MC-31 (C-5M #87-0031 - 337th AS, Westover AFB, MA) - 19:36 local just changed callsign to RCH1864 on ADS-B
MCFAMC (C-17A #01-0186 - 3rd AS, Dover AFB, DE)

I apologize if this was already discussed.

I think when they are offshore way out they are sometimes tracked by ADSB-C Sat pickup mode.
Always seems to bring up a slightly different callsign vs ADSB-B.. MCFAMC is generic C-17 USAF Sat mode C callsign.

I see Delaware ANG C-130H #94-7321 MAGIC-01 into Hawaii tonight.. Newer planes get longer newer missions
MAGIC callsign is popular Pacific mission callsign.
There is a MAGIC-22 currently departing Okinawa Navy C-560/UC-35 #166713.

Hazy washed-out looking day, so not a great photo of Egyptian military C-130 about 15 miles away passing over New Jersey at 10:34am EDT as EGY1115. But since ADS-B routinely reports these Egyptians flying their C-130 at 80,000 feet and even higher I thought I should get what I could while they were low enough to spot!
