Guys,

While running errands this morning saw Egyptian AF C-130 in desert camo departing BWI around 0917.

Saw him come into BWI earlier this week.

This afternoon sounded like REEF 11 and REEF 21 flights into Langley 1345 local
on ZDC UHF.
Normally a Homestead 482nd FW F-16 callsign.
Maybe in town to work the offshore ranges.

Axeman 1 followed that flight into the range and had an early departure for a flyover. They didn't mention where.

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — The U.S. Air Force is preparing to put nuclear-armed bombers back on 24-hour ready alert, a status not seen since the Cold War ended in 1991.


That means the long-dormant concrete pads at the ends of this base’s 11,000-foot runway — dubbed the “Christmas tree” for their angular markings — could once again find several B-52s parked on them, laden with nuclear weapons and set to take off at a moment’s notice.
