Nice catch,I think MO F-15E's making stop down to SJ.Tankers were BLUE 01,91 KC-10's McGuire.
Many more MAZDA's coming back over next few days.
Been slow process coming back,these guys hit Lajes back on the 22nd.Maybe tanker or F-15 mech problems.

Rgr that they usually go next to 327.800 ZDC Norfolk heading South after Snow Hill MD 236.825
I lose them by then most times

So we've got a CAP this morning. Trump will be arriving at his Sterling, VA golf course shortly and will be golfing with the PM of Japan. Not a great day for golf, really windy. I only realized this after hearing LCSO talking about the Secret Service, the press and some protestor.

NOBLE01 is F-16 86-0362 which is from VT ANG

Handoffs always get me. I have only been able to get them a couple of times.

Several Travis KC-10's into East last night.
GOLD 41 86-0029 to McGuire.
ROMA 11,21 KC-10's to Bangor Maine it seems.
Scramble says 16 Texas ANG F-16's 301FW staging at Pease ANGB
headed for possible Eastern Europe duty.

try loading all of the UHF freqs for the ATC centers that are within 200 miles of your location - that way even if you miss the freq change - you have a better than 50 percent chance of hearing them on the next hand over freq.

Notice a lot of ex Niagara Falls C-130H tails and others running around here lately
mainly on weekends using HANK ** callsign.
Seems they all now belong to the 908AW/257AS Maxwell AFB a (AETC) C-130H training unit.

ROMA flights up today 1015z Heard ROMA 11 with Gander Ctr via ATC net and didn't mention
how many chicks in tow.
1035z ROMA 21 showing up over Maine so guess they are next. Assume these are the Texas ANG F-16's.
Report they are TREND 61,71 flights to Spangdahlem Germany.

So I was wrong about VT ANG being the CAP. The last of their F-16s left earlier in April. So it's time to figure out which units they ended up at .
https://vtdigger.org/2019/04/07/vermont-air-guard-f-16s-roar-retirement-making-way-f-35s/

Had I known I would've recorded the CAP so I could listen for their RTB.

 

[freqhopping]

The last four VT F-16s went to Atlantic City
86-0276
86-0288
86-0328
87-0312

DC got 86-0289, 86-0278, and 86-0362, maybe some others?

 

[Mark]

Excellent,I'm sure A/C and DC could use some new F-16 units.. Both got some real tired F-16's.
Logged a new C-130J-30 today into McGuire
PUMA-85 1615z (AE5F09) 17-5851 19Aw Little Rock.
