KC-10 (86-0031) from Travis arrived at Dover on Friday evening as GOLD41. Still no confirmation on who they will be dragging.Usually tankers stage at Dover for Langley F-22's and haven't seen any here yet.

1200 local: 3 KC-46's from McConnell GOLD24, 33, and 34 36000' heading NW.Couple of KC-46s from KWRI to PAEI today, maybe AK F-22s ?

KC-46A, 11-46007, GOLD22 305th AMW
KC-46A, 21-46061, GOLD23, 305th AMW

Just heard NOBLE tell other push Aux 276.150 but heard nothing..maybe some confusion.
I'd love to see the C-17 support, the F-22's have long legs when they need them, support is a different matter (although the KC-10 actually has more pallet positions (contoured though) available).KC-10 from Dover is now also heading NW to Alaska. Must need all the tanker assistance they can get to bring those F-22s to CENTCOM. Arrived on Friday as GOLD41, now showing GOLD21.
Hi Mark.USAF news site says F-22's will be deployed soon. Maybe some Langley F-22's?
Orlando in August.. Doesn't get much hotter than that
Yes all the mil action is out West in the Panhandle area and way down Key West with some MacDill tankers floating around
Central Florida.I fly to Tampa often and rarely see anything except to circle overfly MacDill on way in.
Have a good safe trip! Maybe you will run into some Olympians celebrating at Disney down there or see a rocket launch.
Space X has launches Aug 7th,10th and the 18th from the Cape.
Many thanks also FLboy850 for all the info 👍As Mark said, unfortunately not a ton of military action in the Orlando area and when you do see them it’s usually T6s flying into Sanford.
Patrick/Cape Canaveral occasionally get some unique jets that come through. For the most part it’s either the 920th RQW HH60s/C130s or P8s from NAS Jax you’ll see in that area.
Google search suggests LUSH or TATER.Callsign help needed ....
In the eighties Loring AFB had two KC-135 squadrons, looking for their static callsigns.
42nd AREFS : PINE ?
407th AREFS: no idea ....
Gold 24 flight came through Central MT. around 1010 MDT using 337.05 air to air. Headed NW.1200 local: 3 KC-46's from McConnell GOLD24, 33, and 34 36000' heading NW.
The rumour mill has started over here! All 8 tankers (Gold 21-24 and Gold 31-34) due into Mildenhall from around 6pm Tuesday. And the F-22's are due into Lakenheath for a stop over and departing Thursday. Time will tell if true or not!GOLD-31 KC-10 #79-1948 just departed Travis Northbound..
I think 6 tankers can take 12 F-22's across Country.Maybe pick up two more tankers at Pease later.
Maybe a longshot the F-22's stop at Langley which is closest F-22 support base out East.
Now here comes GOLD-21 KC-10 #86-0031 off Dover westbound.. Sounds like they changed that KC-10's mission.
Crew prob ticked off. First Dover stop as GOLD-41 now 3400 miles back to Alaska for new mission.

TFR issued for VP visit and unveiling of new running mate kicking off a seven city tour.
Tuesday is the day according to the campaign and White House.I was curious if she would make the announcement tomorrow from the campaign headquarters in Wilmington, but I'm sure you would have posted advance notice by now if that was the case.
A RCH-9062 headed up towards Alaska KC-46 #21-46058 out of SJ.I'd love to see the C-17 support, the F-22's have long legs when they need them, support is a different matter (although the KC-10 actually has more pallet positions (contoured though) available).
Thanks
