Three more McGuire KC46's back to Canada today. LUNGE61 21-46061, LUNGE62 19-46071, ROCCO65 21-46087.

I am seeing more of the ROCCO call sign and believe it to be used by the 108th WG/141st ARS.

Anyone have thoughts?

1237- Devil 11 flt (id as 2 acft) at FL240 check in w/ZNY Big Flat (270.3). A2A is 294.725.

 

[mdmonitor]

1305- Reach 4589 (C-17 # 02-1111) inbound to ADW working ADW tower (118.4). Trying to determine if they can land in the current wind conditions. Advises thery will probably divert to Dulles like a previous Reach flight had done. NOTE: at my location, about 35 miles from ADW, there's a steady 35-40 MPH wind blowing.

1310- Kuwaiti C-17 (KAF 3221) off DOV heading east.

1330- Pair of McGuire KC-46s (Rocco 63 & 64) working way up the coast. Working Brickyard CP (237.15). 30 mins out & need parking spot.

We had one gust to 53mph about 7am here in West Virginia. It's generally westerly and constant. Anyone with only north-south runways like ADW can offer only unappealing cross-wind landings. Dulles has a WNW runway that is probably doing a lot of business today. They're going to build a second one.

We have had a peak wind of 56 mph here at the beach - lots of USCG helos playing in the wind and using both 345.000 AM and 412.975 P25 to maintain radio guard with both Sector and Air Station Atlantic City

FIST-61,62 departed Fairchild and picked up someone out of McChord and headed for Hawaii now.

In the past FIST6X (KC-10s) have staged out of KSKA to bring Whidbey EA-18G’s out west. This is only an educated guess, but seems to be similar mission.

Via ADSB playback, there are atleast 2x TIS-B targets which departed Whidbey and climbed to the south as FIST flt was passing through. ~19:38Z

My mistake as I thought you were asking about 123.225.. DOH!
Anyway just a while ago heard SCORE-14 E-2D heading out to Bay and was
on with 261.300 as well.I have this freq in my rotation with no label so will call it another VX-20 Pax discrete freq.
This freq is not on Ron's list either..

Devil-11 Four NJ ANG F-16's headed out A/A 298.600 and ZDC 363.000>ZNY 270.300>ZNY 322.400>ZNY 338.300 headed for Harrisburg
but maybe pressing on farther North as mentioned refueling topoff soon.
Commenting on all the busy air traffic this time of day.. LOL There is a Res at Duke MOA for 2200z
Say will use GBU-54 single bombs with impact fusing.
Here comes a Michigan KC-135 #58-0129 into Pa so maybe for them.
