Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[Dutchmil]

Here is the the aircraft - initially had BLUE63 at departure then deleted that from callsign block

Thanks Terry, however this KC-135R is supporting the return of the final F-15s from Kadena
to CONUS on Coronet West 557. Departure from Honolulu [PHNL] scheduled for Monday.

That 58-0072 was STEEL 83 from KWRI to KPIT after all I think.

I've been following the TEAL78 that took off from Barbers Pt a bit ago. LiveATC has really good coverage. They're currently on ZHN Oceanic 126.5.

[RichardKramer]

@1620L 92-9000 airborne over Ft. Collins.

At 1545 local it left Harrisburg, now heading west.

Maybe headed to Fort Hood aka Fort Cavasos Tx or back to Memphis?
Usually Guard troops spend a couple weeks down there for pre-deployment training.
Get some courses on Germany do's and don'ts

Looks like that Hawaii hurricane just missed the Big Island to the South though
brought a lot of rain to some areas.. Some areas were in a long drought so a good thing.

 

[Mark]

Looks like ELVIS-65 back to Memphis.. Odd that E-4B #75-0125 out of Tucson with Potus trip
dropping down into Whiteman AFB.

No they are coming up and back from Shaw AFB.
Not all that much farther than Langley and have home base crews to fix those F-16's.
Langley is only TDY base for the far flung units like the Colorado ANG F-16's

We had an Advance Release event for my book of New Castle photography on Friday, then family arrived Saturday and stayed overnight, but I was up early yesterday and finally made my way to Ocean City MD for the 2024 air show. I hope everyone enjoys this photo of Frecce Tricolori, as they've been a recurring topic here in recent days. They put on a spectacular show of precision aviation. This is the team on their final pass of their North American Tour 2024.
