Both 82-8000 and 92-9000 are airborne, not sure which one is going to Houston.

Both. 9000 is AF1, 8000 is SAM45.

Looks like there is already a CAP in place there with BLUE61 KC-10 and an E-3C that isn't showing on the map but coordinates show it's in the same area.

Tried last night and couldn't find any activity on several receivers. Found one tonight and the guy mentioned there should be net activity on 7268.0 too. I found that active on one receiver.

Guys,

Yesterday (Weds) rode by BWI airport and saw a C-9 in blue/whie liverey with United States of America" on it parked at Signature FBO.

Wasn't able to see the tail number or to stop & get a pic.

I thought the USAF had retired all of those old C-9s

Nice picks

As far as I know they do not use E-2s for storm tracking. They leave that to NOAA's P-3s out of Biloxi Miss.

Tail lettering shows TB? Would make it a MH-53E from HM-15 "Blackhawks" Norfolk NAS.
Being the weekend probably a Reserve crew.

Nice pic!
