Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[jetcrafter]

I didn't even know the airshow was happening this weekend.

I'm sorry freqhopping, I just ASSumed you knew. Glad you were able to see some mil action on your vacation. I will not be going into the show due to the fact the prices to get in are INSANE!! Plus, I'll be down at Oceana in Sept to a FREE admission show that is much, much better than this lame Brunswick show will be. I may sit outside at a local business to watch the tbirds if the weather holds out.

A DRAGO-61 KC-46 off of Pease..

I'm also hearing 238.175 - DC ANG A-A . Mentioned a time of 09:51 (local)

Looks like DC ANG is also in the fly-over

Any confirmation on which aircraft participated in the Arlington flyover along with KC-46 DRAGO61?

the F16, but the external fuel tanks transfer automatically as normal operation in flight from the external tanks to the internal fuel tanks as fuel is used during the course of the flight. Granted there are scenarios that could have occurred in which they would jettsion full fuel tanks, but to me I would think that this would be a last resort. Yet the planes landed back at their base without incident. A full fuel tank, on the centerline of the acft is 600 gallons, with the total weight of 4,520 pound for the centerline tank. The wing tanks have to be used in pairs, one on each wing. Each one contains 370 gallons, with the total weight of 2,479 pounds per tank. This would be very similar to dropping very large bombs, hence the scenario seeming odd

Any chance someone in here has recorded the audio of the emergency declaration to ATC by the F16?

One of the presidential Ospreys flew over at 10:52am EDT. Had to grab the camera with no time to spare and use whatever setting was already active, so ended up with a very fast shutter speed and this rather bizarre portrait

NOBLE's up here are getting nervous as some T-storms maybe moving in here soon.
With this heat could be some real doozies.. NOBLE-11,12 will hit tanker one more time unless they keep us here.
