F-22 demo dropping flares over Oceana today.
One of these days sadly a civ aircraft will tangle with one of these small wx balloons and possible aviation disaster and there will be huge
outcry of "what are these balloons doing in heavy air traffic space?"
How many small University type data balloons do we have to launch these days? Somebody burning thru the cash..

If the balloon is remaining at that altitude (which is a little odd since they usually go higher) example the one I posted earlier is now here
and above 85K altitude - that data from it is monitorable on that 403.00 mhz freq
Then it could be a FOD hazard to a large engine inlet like on a KC46 (nearly 10 foot wide). So best to know where it is at in case they need to warn others in the vicinity.

Sure was a great tanker.. Funny those 60 KC-10's were added to USAF almost like an afterthought in the 80's but
listening around here in past 25 years they were many times the tanker of choice for large Altrav deployments overseas.
Still remember years ago large group of Dyess B-1's going to UK accompanied by at least 9 McGuire KC-10's.
That extra fuel they had plus drogue hose option was always the difference.
Course the new KC-46's are also in the same league as KC-10's and better in many ways so time marches on

Off topic but interesting as new iPhones being rushed to USA via UPS.
I doubt like comment here that entire plane is loaded with iPhones though.

Looks like JF001 might be heading for ADW. No, he just turned and looks like it's NYC like you posted. I should have waited.

Geez, taking him forever to get to PHL.
During this dry run yesterday supposedly the VH-3s were used. I wonder if they’re going to be used instead of the VH-92 this visit? The VH-92 was used for an NYC visit last week.
9:40 EDT a little late with this one since I was distracted...but Royal Brunei Boeing 747-8 enroute to JFK.

Apple's worth $1 trillion. What $1 trillion looks like in iPhones
