Rare visitor at Dover today.. single F-5 RIVER-11 #761578 NAS New Orleans VFC-204 River Rattlers.
Heard him on tape 1237 local self id as F-5 dropping down from 9k to 7k but I was out so ADSB rewind showed this.
Maybe Hurrivac or weekend road trip. I like how Navy converts old USAF tail number 76-5781 to #761578.


Some of these they have been painted in aggressor colors like this one below.

RCH-4608 C-17 #08-8195 inbound McGuire from the Southeast off Pond. Seems his ADSB was off
for a while down in Central or South America.. Had this ACARS message to them last night Southbound at 0016z near Panama.

/FX RUIZ JUST ERUPTED IN COLOMBIA. YOUR CURRENT ROUTE IS 25NM TO THE NORTHEAST OF IT. I RECOMMEND COORDINATING WITH ATC TO ROUTE 25NM MORE TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE VOLCANO. FM35

Must be that big Brazil exercise Cruzex 2024 going on down there. 2 more C-17's inbound on that
same course taken earlier yesterday by RCH-4608. There is a maybe JAZZ F-15C in group photo x.com

Seems US Coast Guard had look into that area of Western Colombia yesterday saw it headed that way.
Neptune-01 C-130J #2006 now headed back to Liberia Costa Rica stop..Maybe volcano was false alarm.

Thanks Raleigh as forgot you posted that a while back.. Makes sense now as C-17's are rolling in and out of Rio area
far South of the Brazil Mil exercise.. Guess no rest break for USSS after the election.. "Road trip".

OT kind of nice that Potus has invited incoming Potus to the WH next week.. Shows folks the campaign is over
and time to transition and keep things smooth as possible.. I'm sure lots of critical things going on and good time to talk about them.
Delaware has nice old tradition going way back the State election winners and losers ride together in horse drawn carriages
in parade around the square in Georgetown Del. Helps bury the hatchets

Monday afternoon notam for Wilm/Philly area.. Assume Veterans Day event with Potus.

Over France the second cell was intercepted by the French QRA MAGMA 01 on 307.325.

This is an un-edited soundclip of TABOR 41 flight on their air-to-air <315.900> while being
intercepted over France by the French QRA MAGMA 01 flight. The Eagles were also shortly up
on the RAKI GCI frequency 307.325. Later in the clip the F-15s were working Shanwick and
made their inbound call to Black Panther Chief ops on 282.675.

Apologies for the bad quality, but keep in mind the intercept was almost 300 miles away ...
