An E/A-18 Growler will be landing at BWI on Monday 7/17.
Usually visitors arrive in the early morning hours to avoid disrupting normal traffic, but not always.

What are the best freqs to monitor for that?

AF2 getting ready to land at ADW. Had to skirt the storms on the way in.

Yesterday I saw a ZOMBIE99 KC-10 heading east from Travis AFB, most likely for the CAP.
