Rgr thought the main reason for recent move of the ATC functions out of NY area to Philly was to prevent this.. DOH!
Sunday Monday look like real challenge coming up with cold temps shooting all the way down to Northern Florida.

OT: Checking out Kiwis again and they tried their new C-130J to Antartica for first time.
They like them as even with their old C-130's they never ever had an accident with them..
Hard to argue with great success.. Add more power and electronic gizmos like the F-15,B-52 and away you go.

First flight to ice for Air Force’s new C-130J Hercules
Flying one of the new Royal New Zealand Air Force’s (RNZAF) C-130J-30 Hercules to Antarctica for the first time was like getting out of an old manual truck and into a new SUV, the pilot says.

can confirm still in the Pats livery. Was driving and missed the chance to grab a pic.
Says they own two of these Patriot Jets...
I noticed common oddity about all those drone encroachments since Langley last December.
All the bases Langley including RAF in UK are fairly close to the coastal waters.
Nobody on land sees them launching or landing. Possibility they are being launched and recovered off ship vessels?
A slow passing freighter could easily do this.. Things that make you say Hmmm.

Omni Air International is a subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group (ATSG). In August 2024, Omni Air International and the New England Patriots announced a long-term agreement to operate the Patriots' two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft. The aircraft are painted in the Patriots' team colors and feature the team's six Lombardi Trophies on their tails.
Omni Air is operating the aircraft for their own contracts as long as they are available for Patriots use (or other Kraft needs).

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omni Air International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG), announced a long-term agreement with the New England Patriots professional football team under which Omni will operate the Patriots’ two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft for team travel and other charter flights including humanitarian and goodwill flights on behalf of the Kraft family, and as available for Omni's other charter customers.
"This agreement brings together industry-leading organizations that value their people, patriotism, professionalism, and a culture of success," said David Ray, president of Omni. "We are proud to include the Patriots’ aircraft in support of our clientele."
Both aircraft reflect the Patriots team colors of red, white and blue, while the team’s six Super Bowl championship Lombardi Trophies are proudly displayed on their tails.

NASA shows off image "acquired by chance" of U.S. military's abandoned "city under the ice" in Greenland
Scientists now have a clearer picture of Camp Century, an abandoned U.S. military base long hidden under the ice in Greenland, thanks to a NASA research team's good luck.

SAM-193 #98-0001 on way back to US from Prestwick.
Seems they made temp 360 according to Acars due to turbulence reports near St Johns.
Now inbound US a bit ways North of St Johns for a smoother ride.
RCH-816 C-17 TN ANG #95-0104 inbound Dover for uploads asking about a trip to Wawa while loading cargo

Unauthorised Drones Continue to Plague U.S. Air Force Bases in the UK
A comprehensive look at how the situation, which an anonymous U.S. official said appears to be coordinated and not the work of hobbyists, has unfolded so

Russian jets intercept B-52s during Baltic training flight
A defense official said the interception was safe and professional. However, it comes at a time of increasing tension between the U.S. and Russia.
www.airforcetimes.com
Or the same combined US/UK special ops team who blew holes in some of the Nord Stream gas lines?Mark
Maybe the same ships that cut the underwater cables in the Baltic
To date there has been a complete lack of factual objective information about the drone activity.
Certainly very easy to launch small quadcopter type things around Lakenheath / Mildenhall without being seen. Far easier than launching them from the sea and navigating it to the area of those bases.
Some more drone updates and lots of comments, theories all over the place.
There is a lot they are not disclosing but would be nice if they knocked at least one out of the air.
Drone Incursions Over USAF Bases In UK Enter Second Week

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Hoping to have some comms to hear during the holiday, but unfortunately mil activity may be sparse.
