1904 Local: Not many Tankers out on the East coast tonight, or at least showing up on ADS-B. A couple of Backy KC-46A's and a lone KC-135 (QID19) from McDill heading back to Mildenhall. There are usually a lot more out there at night!!

Picking up distant chatter on 228.9000.
Yeah Huntress was working with USCG 6604 doing intercept work with a USCG Auxillary Helo C8501 as below near Sea Isle VOR SIE

Yes even quiet in Southern California for Operation Bamboo Eagle but nasty storm hit the area today
so assume they paused.Imagine Edwards AFB turns a bit muddy with heavy rains.

Where I can find "AR-20 Eastbound Res for real early Friday 3:15am-0630 am local FL-150-270"????
I bookmark various interesting AR routes in text format like AR-20. Just bookmark this link and rename in your browser AR-20.
This link will also cover AR-80 next door as well.

However a map/text form is also available at Special Use Airspace & Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace
but doesn't show AR Reservations except in text format and there is 39 pages of them.

Are those times listed as Zulu time?

Also you can filter it down to two pages using filters:

  • Click the down arrow to the right of "Type" (where the red oval is)
  • Select Aerial Refueling Routes/Anchors - AR
  • You can also click "Download" to save it as .CSV file including the filters you used!
Or any other filters you wish..
At the time of this post it brings 37 pages down to two!

Caught Park Police Eagle lifting from the National Mall for a POTUS overwatch

Watching your latest vid tonight with Arlington flyover and those were two AH-1Z Vipers from HMLA-773
stationed at Joint McGuire AFB.. Just for your notes the Cobra has been officially retired from Marine Duty and replaced by the USMC AH-1Z Viper.
It looks similar for sure.. Confusing as now we have USAF F-16 Viper and USMC chopper called Viper.
I happened to be outside early this afternoon up in Bear Delaware and eyeballed both of these headed East into New Jersey.Was wondering why.. :)
Second time in last month or so for them doing Marine Corp Arlington flyovers.
