1500 local NOBLE-21 tells tanker "Thanks for our last Noble Eagle flight"
Tanker replies "SEE YA!"
1505 NOBLE-21 flight with ZDC 360.700 headed home to 79th FS at Shaw... Must have went down the Ches Bay to rtb.
Who will be next up in October? PLace your bets..
So far this year we had the Florida MAKOS then Colorado 120th FS F-16's and the 79th FS at Shaw.

I have no accurate guess for WHO it will be, I'm just hoping that whichever squadron it is will stage out of AC like the Makos did. I really enjoyed watching those pre-sunrise takeoffs with the burner lit! I'd imagine this will be the last rotation?

My long shot guess was the 149th FW out of San Antonio who still have F-16's
and used to fly up here every year some years ago for the Dover Nascar race flyover for about 5 years running.
Coincidently a C-17 from San Antone RIDER-93 landing Dover now but offloads didn't sound like much except L-Sat dish.
Keep an eye out for National Guard cargo planes into Langley or A/C etc.

Rescue help on the way to Western North Carolina tonight?
Maryland sent a CH-47 down that way and other CH-47's have been dropping cargo off down there.

Checking tail numbers online all these aircraft are from Arizona including the Jolly Green II choppers.
The HC-130J's KINGs are from 79th RQS Davis Monthan and assume the USAF Jollys as well.
One of the 4 Hawk choppers detailed here. All landing McGhee Tyson KTYS which is not too far from the action.
Some serious long distance help there.

Look like Scranton is getting another visit from Potus on Oct 1. Yay more traffic issues. Can't wait for this election crap to be over. I like seeing the C17 and AF1 but its getting old living in a swing state lol.

The visit last week to Scranton had nothing to due with politics, it was for the funeral of a life long friend.

Lol they must have heard me complaining. The TFR is no longer showing. I am sure they will be back at some point tho.
