2020 local aircraft on ZDC 307.025 Potomac says enroute Harrisburg for AR. Sounds like Heavy to me.
2122 Now up on 341.750 A/A talking Harrisburg again. "Lead plane is flowing 380 knots". Barksdale Buffs,B-2's?
Passed by me at 07:55pm. DARK 21 341.750 A/A. Last freq was 276.400 Cleve.C, 08:11pm. I never heard 22.

With Harrisburg DEATH-21 flight ZNY 270.300 in the block 370-380 dropping down switch to aux 228.000. Stay in line.. B-2's! :)
DEATH-21 tells sw to aux 315.900.. Talking about a HOBEY-69 who is not showing blocking 210-220.
Funny as have 315.900 as secondary AR-777 freq.. anyway DEATH-21 working tanker boom on same trying to track him down.

Thanks Chuck probably same but are clearly DEATH-21-23 chasing tanker down..
Funny as yesterday Reddit pics they showed 3 B-2's working West over Kansas/Colorado during day at high altitudes.
Guess they came East tonight... DARK is normally Dyess B-1 squad callsign.
Funny all quiet now as guess dropped down and using something else for Boom.. Moved off to Northeast?

Bama bound for sure.

Funny in flightaware they won't let you track by tail # but still allow flight number tracking of A-124's.

A Bandage C-17 flight #97 C-17 #00-0181 WV ANG coming down Northeast coast from Germany.
May be same Bandage flight I saw yesterday into Germany from Iraq.. Andrews bound for sure.

2016 local Someone Mil on ZDC Moorfield W VA 371.900 getting stronger up here.
First time I've heard Bandage call used by WVA guys.

At 1145 he's off ADW heading west.

It is a small glitch in the system that does not make the correlation to blocked flights and airline codes

Not sure I understand the how close is too close ? To the engines or to the door to access the cabin ?

Unfortunately, trying to post those from my phone didn't go as well as I had planned. It was supposed to say, maintenance crews check AF2 after landing. Then my YouTube short was supposed to be a different post saying how close is too close. Oh well, you got to see it all.

1224L KC-46 (21-46091) as PUDGY20 is over Missoula heading eastbound out of Boeing Field in Seattle. Based on the callsign I'm going to bet this is a new airframe for McGuire. Hopefully I'll be able to catch it as they get closer.
Nice catch.. Thought Travis would get the next few.. Now only leaves 4 more new KC-46's to McGuire :)

More Boeing P-8A's also on the way.. Guess checks have cleared the banks.

Well, I was lucky and lined up their path perfectly! Nice to see a brand new airframe as it’s arriving.
