Interesting capability from DSP:

Trooper 2 (N1SP) and Trooper 4 (N275SP, but I think pending number change to N2SP) working medevac from a scene in Kent Co, while Trooper 5(?) (N6SP) provides overwatch in New Castle Co.

This is normal for them. Quicker to transport via helo to hospital. State covers a lot of ground with the helicopters.

22 pilot mentioned a balloon looking object, or what he thought was maybe a very bright object on the ground. Sounds like clouds are getting in the way.

Yes, I wasn’t referring to DSP’s medevac capability but rather that they have three helos staffed. I thought previously they’d taken Trooper 4 out of service to work POTUS overwatch, which was why TROY/MUSSEL had come in during the latter half of the term to work overwatch?

Yeah - I typed my reply a bit weird - they are like NJ that has multiple helos active at one time. Mostly for MedEVAC but for police duties as well. I always remember Delaware having several helos based on the state length and locations needed to cover.

Maybe a wild guess - but transport for additional Embraer personnel for crash investigation - or maybe delivering something for Embraer to examine in their facilities.

MV-22B #2 in the list should be 168324. Too late to edit.
