12220- Flt of two Langley T-38s (Hover) working ZDC Bucks Elbow (284.7)>ZDC Buena Vista (263.1) on way back from the Evers MOA. A2A is 255.65.

1235- E-6B Shado 44 that left PAX earlier now inbound back to PAX. Went out to near St Louis then turned around and came back. Maybe a maintenance/equipment check flt? Flt too short for a TACAMO mission.

Definitely off-topic as far as aviation, but I thought there might be some interest in this ship that passed by New Castle at 11am local this morning. The USS Leyte Gulf is a guided missile cruiser that was launched in 1986, and decommissioned just over a month ago in Norfolk. It was being towed by a huge chain from the vessel Gary Chouest with the much smaller tug Annabelle Dorothy Mo bringing up the rear. In my MarineTraffic app the two service ships were tracked but the Leyte Gulf was not, I guess because it was not under power. I did not see anyone on that ship, either. I’m assuming the navy yard in Philadelphia is the final destination.

1435- Somebody at Warren Grove. Get some weak xmissions on 283.1.

1440- ADS-B showing a Tester 133 (T-33 N133DV) working at low level (850ft) in the PAX areas. They're too low for me to hear them. FAA site lists the acft as belonging to Ace Maker Aviation LLC from California.

1445- AF2 (C-32 # 98-0001) near Richmond inbound to ADW.

After decommissioning, the ship will be towed on October 16th to the Navy’s Inactive Ship’s facility in Philadelphia, Pa., where it will be in a Logistical Support Asset status.

Good evening folks!


OT but spicy: I got the missing KC-135 which refueled the B-2 Spirits off the coast of Oman supporting them on their strike sorties over Yemen almost 2 weeks ago. They were returning from Al Udeid earlier this week with their strategic callsigns still assigned.

The following links are available for 7 days so hurry!




They will be relevant as soon as they cross the Atlantic ;)
