Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

Perhaps POTUS response from pool reports this afternoon explains why he is headed to Camp David rather than DE this weekend;

...he (POTUS) notably answered a question on when a Gaza ceasefire could start. ‘I hope by the end of the weekend…
My national security advisor tells me that we’re close, we’re close, we’re not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we’ll have a ceasefire.’

Long weekend at the Camp coming up.. Will keep those fighters busy.
You just know those MAKO F-16 and Tankers folks are like.. Damn thats a long weekend!

EIDER29 to Brownsville with motorcade for POTUS visit, but RCH167 not carrying POTUS equipment and headed to Kelly AFB

Couple C-17's departing KBRO airport Brownsville Tx. EIDER-12 and TEDDY-59.
KBRO shows 7300 foot runway so maybe the small plane tomorrow? Seems both candidates to the Border Thursday.
This airport traffic is mostly biz jets and a few E-175 types a day.

Yeah you can even track Elon's jet and Gwynne Shotwell's jet going in there too. Oh wait I should not have posted that.

Looks like Canada maybe sending some Hornets to Nellis as well..
Seems earlier the BOLAR F-15's went into Westover ARB for a stop.

Those MOBIL KC-46's that went Hawaii pressed on to Yokota Japan

Missed Feb 27:
2126L - RCH2880 calling MAINSAIL. Picked up by WEST COAST, doubled the first time.
"WEST COAST, RCH2880, off the coast of Portugal, on eleven-one, RCH2880." No reply from WC. Of course 111(75), odd way to refer to the freq.

Feb 28:
1757L - COAST GUARD 1610 calling MAINSAIL. MAINSAIL not heard, CG has him weak and unreadable from Puerto Rico.

1816L - ADORN107 radio check. No response.
