NOBLE-21,22 departed A/C with ZDC 363.000 looking for FL 21-23k A/A 376.150.
Two more Makos I assume..

Looking at radar seems a good size snow/rain squall over the Westminster area headed Southeast.

Probably. RAWHD71 just took off from Norfolk, landed on the carrier about 75 miles closer than the ones taking off from it earlier this morning.

See if any of these frequencies become active with the USS Ford in range.....

Looks like Monday Morning at Oceana is prime time.. May catch VAQ-142 EA-18G's hopping West across US to Whidbey..
Their ATC callsign is GRIM. Maybe they got to clear Customs first at Oceana but they usually waste little time getting home.

Just reported tonight on WBAL-TV about the loss of A-10s for the Maryland ANG and fight to have another aircraft to replace them, plus the State of Maryland working on improvements to KMTN like increasing the runway to 8100'. This work is a few years away with only half the funding now, but its's starting.

Hope they get another flying unit with living right by it.

Clipped wings: Maryland could lose military flying mission

The Air Force is set to retire the A-10 "Warthog" aircraft stationed at Martin State Airport, a decision that left Maryland's Air National Guard in the dark.

So I guess that means the C-130 unit is already gone?

Martin State's C-130s left years ago. Then they were replaced with C-27Js; then those left as well. Most of them went to the Coast Guard.
