AXEMAN single ship A-10 heading up to DUKE to tank and come back. Was having trouble with her HUD but they all agreed she should go tank and come back. WARDOG flight x2 is heading out now too.

Was in the neighborhood and caught this with my phone

 

[mdmonitor]

1230- Flog 73 (E-6B # 164410) off PAX heading southwest.

1245- Pioneer 66 (P-8 # 169562 VX-1) with VX-1 Ops (341.1). Off PAX heading up the coast just offshore. Going right over Terry's house.

1033- Vader 11 (unid) reporting jumpers away (126.2), Probably at Weide AAF.

1035- Angry 11 flt (DC ANG F-16s) calling Wash Ctr on 254.375. Maybe he meant 254.3?

1040- Beige 53 (KC-46 # 21-46087) check in w/Giantkiller (118.125). Heading for AR 636

The callsign sounded more like TATUM-11 on 126.200 for the jumpers.

Checking morning tape 10:14 local had YODA-01,02 at FL350 with ZDC Sea Isle 281.450.
Pretty sure it was two Langley F-22's headed up the Coast.

Learned the last few years watching ADSB that Navy Jacksonville sure sends a lot of P-8A's for Falls tours..
Must be mandatory Navy training Local ATC Controllers up that way know it and are real nice about setting them up.

8888 message from MUSCULAR (daily ground NCS) at 20:01 UTC. Message was disregarded, and "8888" is as far as it got.

Edit: Realized that of the eighteen 8888 messages broadcast on the HFGCS I've been able to find record or mention of online, two stick out as relevant here – one broadcast March 13 2018, another on March 12 of last year. (Twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend..?)

RCH-343 shows KPSM to ETAD Spangdahlem Germany next...
RCH-134 shows Bangor to EGPK Glasgow Scotland next..
A-10's in and out of US do tend to stop at Glasgow and Spang on Altrav occasions.
If Glasgow there will be lots of video posted. Maybe declare a Holiday..
A couple years ago May 2022 the fence line at Glasgow was packed with photogs watching MD A-10's arrive.
Could be last chance to see a large A-10 deployment ever. The Scots love them..

A10s should be heading for Lajes 18th, altrv now up under LPPO for dept Lajes 20th.

Well good it's just something around the same dates, (Inside joke about a birthday or something?).... I was thinking "Order 66"...

Thanks
