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

Seems CFC-3363 Tanker cut them loose in Western Kansas and now rtb CFB Trenton.
I guess Hornets with ER fuel tanks can make Nellis from there.
A shame Nellis doesn't have a Live ATC feed but KLAS has feeds.
Copy JANET-10 inbound from Edwards and Palmdale BE-30 N910CB Dept of USAF.
Guess all done work for the day.

Odd new KC-130J RCH-180 departed Hanscom Mass with Germany coded (3E8764). 55+05
Maybe mission delvery flight. I read somewhere that France and Germany were splitting
costs on some new C-130J types..

CBP is using their P-3's to resupply Coast Guard ships down range.Probably those ones stationed at MacDill AFB?

New airborne resupply system keeps Coast Guard cutters on patrol longer - UPI.com

A new system for resupplying Coast Guard vessels while they are at sea is cutting costs and improving national security.

Keep ears open to the Northeast this afternoon.. AR-20Westbound has Res for 1845z-2200z at FL-150 to FL270.
Maybe a couple B-1's returning?
Three KC-135's out of UK currently northbound towards Norway RAKE-70,71,72.

I don't think that is a U-2.. Looks like tanker miscode of KC-135 from Ohio ANG.
U-2's can't do A/R refueling. Was a C-17 showing there as well EPIC from NC ANG.

 

[Napalm]

I guess it's time to go upstairs and listen for the Bolars.

 

[Napalm]

Sounds like I have them on 254.600 working the boom ? or maybe A2A.

The aircraft is a KC-135 with the Ohio Air National Guard 121st Aerial Refueling Wing. I had to run outside and check to make sure it wasn't a U-2.

I got excited to think I was going to see something interesting. Still neat to see a KC 135 fly over.

 

[Napalm]

One of the BOLAR flights is on 344.025 for their A2A. Not sure if it's the one being dragged by ROMA 31 or 41. Both are in range (41 is over MI and 31 is over IA). Just as a heads up when they head back your way, folks. LOL.

Edit: It was 41. "Anyone know where the Brewers Stadium is?" lol

Looks like KC-46 Tankers KECK-21,22 wil be heading up to the Northeast for the B-1's.
Keck is usually a Potus support type but notice also being used by tankers. Saw a Keck KC-135
working out of St Croix the other day.

A/C Coast Guard helo 6545 just overflew me on way to Hagerstown area it seems.. Guess weekend CAP duty.

 

[RichardKramer]

@1427L 260.9 sounded like Gasman 01 said they're over Pease.
