Learned a new C-17 acronym today.. RCH-4189 #97-0041 inbound Andrews reports alpha 3
for EFCS reset or he pronounced it as "EefCis".. He finally spelled it out for the CP.
Electronic Flight Control System...
From Bing search..

1. EFCS Reset:
   • An EFCS reset typically involves restoring the EFCS to its default or initial state.
   • Reasons for performing an EFCS reset may include system glitches, sensor calibration, or troubleshooting.
   • The process varies based on the specific issue and the aircraft’s operational status.

Been a couple C-5M's into Norfolk NAS today for uploads.. Prob need more ship missiles for overseas

I think some of the Red Flag participants are headed home today.
BOBBY-61,71 from Cal headed to Alaska FL-250 probably with the F-35's.

Yes, you are right Mark, the 525th FS F-22s returned from Nellis AFB to Elmendorf AFB
as CUBE 11, CUBE 21 and CUBE 31 flight. They were on Coronet North 717.

Looks like BOBBY61 20-46073 acted as their mobile gas station for the trip home.

DEED54 19-46062 departed EGUN about 4 hours ago heading to KGSB, it was support for B1 over the weekend. Would be great to catch a B1 stopping in KGSB if one is following them home.

Here comes second cell to Charleston with RRR9410.. Dover stop would have been nice as not a cloud in the sky.

Two SJ Tankers BACKY-11,12 did loops in MIssouri just South of St Louis and coming back east..
Could be the SJ F-15E's or new F-15EX's? Wishful thinking..SJ will eventually be the only training base for the new F-15EX models.
