145- Looks like another Reach (C-17) off McGuire heading down to St Croix
Merry Christmas everyone! We received a few inches of snow yesterday to make it a white Christmas here in Southern Maine. Hope you all have a great day with family and friends! Radios on.... no mil action to be heard. Well, there's always public safety comms. Not my favorite, but it'll do. 
Seems a ADS-B dead zone off Northeast Cuba all the way down to the DR area.
ADS-B callsign switches to ADS-C Sat default for C-17's is MFCAMC but same callsign on Acars and radio.
They have been secret squirrely on this entire mission though including those 3 C-17's the other day
departing Homestead for the islands and all dropped off right away.
Still not sure who will have CAP duty starting tomorrow. Homestead F-16's or Mass F-15's.
I haven't heard any Mass F-15's thru here this past week.

Mark,
I'm guessing they will let the Homestead guys, or someone from the southeast, do the CAPs.
On my list I had 6 C-17 flights involved in this trip, one that did double duty...
RCH3200 AE4F15 10-0221 Motorcade
RCH3206 AE1241 04-4136 Motorcade
RCH4600 AE2FA2 08-8190 Security Pod/Privacy Pod/Motorcade - Double Duty
RCH3202 AE20C8 07-7187 Security Pod/Privacy Pod
RCH3250 AE1469 07-7171 Security Pod/Privacy Pod
RCH0219 AE4F13 10-0219 Extras (usually aircraft related airstairs, fuel tanks, etc)

Good evening and Merry Christmas everyone !!
WOODEN 71 (63-8003) dragged four fighters to San Juan as VIEW 21-24, Monday December 23rd.
ATC was confused whether they were F-15s or F-16s, so still uncertain who will be manning the CAP ....

Can now confirm that the F-16s are from the 112th FS, Ohio ANG.
They departed from Toledo Express [KTOL] using local channels.

RCH-3206 back inbound McGuire now.. Sure not much ADS-B tracking history..
Hope C-17's don't start doing these blackouts all the time over the pond.
How are you determining which flight is carrying what?
Slightly O/T
Could you elaborate please? For example I'm having trouble finding out what they mean.
code: AVM 7140 P1 360 (Dec 25) ?

I did a little work and came up with these. These are street views of the two towers across from Newark Airport. Very close to shipping companies.
