MDMONITOR, CAP went to digital I think? Haven't heard them forever. wonder if I can get on my 436.

odd little plane. is that a mini radar dome?

Different variations of this plane have been flying in and out of Lakehurst NAS for the past 6 months or so. Up here, they usually go by the callsign GLARE. And almost always showing up on ADS-B

Japanese PM has departed ADW on 20-1101 JF001 heading to FL to spend the weekend there with the first family.
For some reason it won't show on adsbexchange if the 'interesting' filter is enabled.

That KC-10 came back yesterday from West Coast as WOODEN 31 which is normally
a West Coast Coronet callsign.
Had old callsign while up today on locals..They often forget to change their mode s callsigns :)
Big Air National Guard weekend this coming weekend so expect to see lots of
Reserve flights up and about..
McGuire does good job of keeping at least 2 Alert KC-10's up and about daily on standby in case of emergency flgihts
that require tankers. Usually your TEAM callsigns.

Heard callsign sounded like TABOR 61 flight of 6 F-15's req emergency descent from
FL400 for fuel emergency into Langley.
Should be 6 493rd FS F-15C's coming from EGUN to Vegas but guess strong headwinds today shortened up their trip enroute prob SJ down in North Carolina.
Maybe a tanker scratched as well or just guzzled too much fuel.

I think you're correct on the TABOR 61 call sign. I thought I heard something XXX 61. Guess he was showing REAPER on the ADS-B.

Yeah when they fly in group like that they try to have at least one fighter tail show ADS-B
just for basic tracking safety in commercial skies.. ADS-B Required in Europe for routine F-15 training flights..
This should be our Grim Reapers today..

Probably a F-15D two seater along with them as well..
