Welcome to the weekend, and with that it's time for the weekend escape from DC for Mr and Mrs Biden...

2:25 PM THE PRESIDENT arrives Pittsburgh International Airport, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

7:35 PM THE PRESIDENT departs Pittsburgh International Airport, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania en route to Dover, Delaware
8:45 PM THE PRESIDENT departs Dover, Delaware en route to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

NOTE: On Friday, February 16th, First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin. At 2:45 PM, the First Lady will arrive at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

1851 hrs. Local: Zippo71 is 193rd SOS MC-130J 08-6206 came up on 255.4000 seeing if there were any aircraft in their area. They were not on ads at that time. Since them they came up on 283.1000 Warron Grove and said they were inbound and now showing on ADSB.

MC-130 21-5973 came up on Baton Ops as Zippo?? as alpha2 with multiple write-ups. They were returning from Pope Air Field.

Zippo must be a new call sign for the 193rd MC-130's.

Have heard ZIPPO couple times as callsign for the MC-130J's out of Harrisburg
Maybe that is their new road trip callsign?

If the US Navy has any C-2's in storage it may be time to get them back up and running..
The CMV-22B seems a bust..

CMV-22B COD suitability questioned?

CMV-22B COD suitability questioned? Early February 2024, the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) issued their Fiscal Year 2023 report on the CMV-22B Carrier onboa...

1153 hrs. Local RCH124 to WRI due to Hi heat indication on brakes. RCH124 was communicating with RCH554 on 378.8500. RCH554 suggested that they just meet in Hawaii tomorrow not to hurry to meet them at Travis today.

P-8 Poseidon setting an orbit over Virginia Beach/NC. No freqs yet.

Should have left the main gear hang down for a while then retract the gear when cooler......common practice particularly for commercial aircraft with quick turn times or lots of braking used from the gate to the runway.

1416 local "Black Lion-31" ZDC UHF FL-240 then starts dropping altitude last push Philly apch 319.150.
Guess making Philly area visit.. Maybe spend the weekend like they do at times.
(On 10 March 2006, VF-213 returned to NAS Oceana after the final F-14 cruise. All 22 Tomcats flew together in a wedge formation over NAS Oceana.)
Would love to have seen that!

EXEC-1F #02-0202 departed Andrews heading towards Detroit..
Guess with all the B-752's in Europe got stuck with this tail.

I wonder if they are coming up closer for the flyover at Met Life for the NHL stadium game tomorrow.

I wonder if they are coming up closer for the flyover at Met Life for the NHL stadium game tomorrow.

It's a night game, at least the Flyers vs Devils game is. But the Rangers vs Islanders on Sunday is a 3pm start.

 

[Waltz41]

A buddy of mine just told me VFA-87 was headed north. Anyone catch them? So they might be the flyover guys. Would be a little odd to stage at PHL for this.....
