My FL friend says Nobles definitely RTB'ed to Savannah. A2As during the CAP 284.65/312.175/357.1
15:25 EST DRAGO 51 (flight of 3) on 353.500 Washington Center (moving southbound it appears)
DRAGO 51 Air / Air on 273.850 ... second flt is DRAGO 55 Air / Air on 228.300
switched to 281.450 at 20K
DRAGO 55 (flight of 2) now on 281.450 at 20K
...,now 293.225 Washington Center
Anyone hearing the callsign any different than DRAGO ? Trying to make sure this is not a CORONET flight
Heading into the Norfolk area - landing Runway 5 now on 370.925
NAS Oceana is the destination

Savannah spotters have confirmed Ohio Vipers are in SAV...
CAP is three months of duty, correct?
Had two Northbound yesterday also as DRAGO-51 towards Boston.
Must have worked flyover at some event up North perhaps? Had hit also on 228.300 but wasn't sure till you posted same.
A/A 273.850 was logged last year being used by VFA-211 down Va Capes way.
Here is why in Boston area.
See VFA-211 Fighting Checkmates tail emblem below.

2000L- EMPIRE 84 along with 2 additional helicopters went over my location. I wasn’t monitoring 36.3 until afterwards. No transmissions heard.

Another McG KC-46 is bound for PHNL tonight, RCH011. Not sure if they will be participating in the Coronet or maybe crew rest in Hawaii before pushing further west. Always intrigues me that the East coast tanker crews get so many Pacific taskings when Travis, March, Beale, Fairchild, etc seem to be a more logistical option.

USAF knows that McGuire has all of 24 new KC-46 tankers and remember not long ago when Sec of AF and others came outAnother McG KC-46 is bound for PHNL tonight, RCH011.

to praise McGuire etc and I posted here that means they will be getting lots of future work.. Man are they getting it as they should.
Just think 24 local tankers here is far more than most countries
Travis still a ways behind on their KC46 procurement program.. RCH-011 probably for something else.
Not long ago some Euro mil fan commented on another board when I said Europe should have more tankers and he said..
Well you guys have two Oceans to cover etc.. I responded Europe isn't surrounded by oceans? LOL
Even on local defense sorties F-35's,Typhoons dont last long in the air without tankers.

Way OT: Where is everyone going late tonight? Pilots and crews sure working the nightshift.
Sometimes I think at night there are more people in the air than on the ground

Acars shows another McGuire KC-46 going to PHNL RCH-012 #20-46082..
Odd that FAA TFR list page shows blank today.. Back online now.. Forgot Sat/Sun is when most computer guys do their systems work.

Please, if you have to label something as Off-Topic, then it doesn't belong here. This thread is strictly for Mil Air Spotting in the Mid Atlantic.

Agree--somewhat. Some of the O.T. posts deal with mil aviation developments which could impact the Mid Atlantic in the future so is useful to get a heads up, Also, some of us are interested in milair happenings in general and like to keep informed of current " happenings"
