There was, it just wasn't Vader. It was 4 of what appeared to be T-38's. Nothing on the TV race recording but I saw it on the local news.

N145WB is based out of Cape May Wildwood Airport KWWD
If I see the owner I will ask for more information. I was think more that WB meant War Bird.

Russian Bombers approach Alaska 16 Aug
Two Tupolev Tu-160 Russian supersonic long-range nuclear bombers conducted drills in an area near Alaska "for the first time in history," demonstrating that Russia can deploy heavy bombers close to the US, the Russian Ministry of Defense revealed Thursday.
The Tu-160 bombers, which can carry six standard cruise missiles and 12 short-range nuclear missiles and fly at speeds greater than two times the speed of sound, were accompanied by Tu-95MS strategic bombers and Il-78 tankers during the exercises, according to The Moscow Times. A total of ten Russian aircraft reportedly participated in the drills.
The Tu-160 bombers reportedly flew more than 4,000 miles from their home base in Saratov in southwestern Russia to Anadyr on the Chukotka Peninsula, which faces Alaska across the Bering Strait, the Associated Press reported.
Under the command of Lieutenant-General Sergei Kobylash, the bombers practiced striking targets at Komi range before taking off across the Arctic Ocean. The two aircraft crews refueled in mid-air and then returned to their home base.
While the latest flight was the first time Tu-160 bombers, production of which was restarted to boost foreign patrols in response to an increase in regional tensions, have ventured close to Alaska, it is not the first time Russian bombers have done so.
In May, two US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter jets intercepted two Tupolev Tu-95 Russian nuclear-capable bombers that came within 55 miles of Alaska's west coast, The Washington Free Beacon first reported. The bomber flights announced Thursday come amid escalating tensions between the US and Russia.

Anybody hear any F-15s Saturday morning over eastern PA? I was diving at Dutch Springs. Upon finishing a dive I noticed single jets heading east at ~3k ft with 1 or 2 minute intervals. There were either a bunch of them leaving, or a lesser amount possibly doing long pattern work at Lehigh Valley. I didn't have a scanner available at the time.
I only had VHF freqs programmed anyways.

1157 am local Thunderbird 1 flight heading for Atlantic City for Weds airshow off the boardwalk
Around noon Saw MV-22 Osprey zipping over my house southwest bound at about 2k altitude.Real cool motoring along like a plane.
On tape sounded like Nighthawk 31 mentioned enroute Quantico so assume from HMX-1
Maybe coming back from New Jersey?

Yes, NIGHTHAWKs have been busy in and out of Trumps NJ country club when he's there.. Usually in flights of 3 or more. 143.825 FM seems to be their common A/A. I think I read somewhere that NIGHTHAWK is the callsign when POTUS not on board. Otherwise it would be MARINE 1.
08/23/18 @ 1240 local- Have IROC41 (04-4128) C-17 looks like out of Andrews setting up an AR off the coast.
