Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

I think it's more likely an E-11A 18th ACCS.

The previous ICAO24 reg AE77A4 comes back to USAF 22-9047 E-11A

I agree since it was BACN08 and the E-11A is the manned component of this system


Wasn't there something about the Maryland Air Guard at Martins State transitioning to drones?

Also Capitol tree will stop at Dover assume via C-17..

Capitol Christmas Tree’s Journey to D.C. Includes Stop at Dover Air Force Base

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree will be making a brief stop on Delmarva on its way to the West Lawn in Washington D.C. for a decades-long tradition.

I thought since Dover was a stop for the Capitol Christmas tree from Alaska it was flying in.. Nope.
It will be trucked all the way with a Kenworth Tractor trailer.I think the same Lynden company with civ C-130's.

Naval Academy football team plays Tulane today at noon local at home.
Rare Harrier pregame flyover scheduled by Ace of Spades folks. Sometimes these guys show on ADSB.

11:46:30 am - National Anthem, followed by a flyover by VMA-231, flying AV-8B harriers out of Cherry Point, N.C. Unfortunately, the group was not able to provide any further information.

 

[mdmonitor]

Guys,

I was out of town yesterday. My son, who, like me, lives on the approach to BWI, snapped this photo of an AV-8 Harrier. He said 5-6 of these acft flew very low over his house, presumably on the way into BWI. Fits right in with Mark's post.

Damn, I always miss the good stuff

TABORs now 45mi. East of ACK. Yes, just heard their routing to KLFI. Coming your way!
Sounds like BLUEs are heading to Dover.

1551z Update - Friend in PA has the TABORs on 244.475 says they're "looking at NYC" as they pass through.
