A couple of RAF Voyager tankers inbound US today passing thru down East Coast.

(43C6FB) ZZ238 RRR9302 FL400 1835z pressed on South towards Florida.
(000001) miscode RRR9301 FL35k-32k prob dropping down into Norfolk NAS 2025z
The RAF was supposed to be working with the New QE Carrier soon along with their F-35B's in the US but she sprung leak again
and last was still in yard at Portsmouth.
Maybe Voyager tankers gonna bring some RAF F-35B's North soon anyway.

Air Force 2 conducted a touch and go at RDU before heading to what I assume was Pope in Fayetteville, NC. I have not heard them on the radio or see AF2 show back up on my local ADS-B Tracker.

For reference Fayetteville is 60+ miles away from tonight’s event in Greenville, NC.
