Had one MD A10 on ADS-B (one a/c showing 2 tails numbers) at 1125 local working the Warren Grove Range. Didn't get the tail numbers since I was busy at work.

Originally asked for direct Kinston but he must have been referring to the VOR. Appears to have been going directly to Greenville for tonight’s event. Couldn’t find him in the low hazy clouds.

You are correct. Showing up on my ADS as AFF. No clue what it is, haven’t heard any traffic on UHF ATC. My guess is F16 from Shaw

Last week for the NJ CAP, one of the F16s showed AFF on ADS-B. He was a Shaw bird.

That’s what I was thinking, thanks for confirming for me.

Also I never noticed this was in the Maryland section so I apologize for posting some much about NC.

No problem, keep it up! There is always something to be learned when it comes to Milair.

Rgr Ron heard inbound Dover as well on CP 349.400 req 150k of fuel.Inbound from West Coast.
Technically a NATO C-17 aircraft but based in Hungary as you said.A political NATO bone to Hungary.
Sounded like a Yank pilot on the CP freq. They use US pilots over here at times.

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.

Saw Voyagers the next day head up to St Johns..
This was the reason..

Six cutting-edge F-35 fighters supported by Voyager tankers arrived in UK

Second F-35 Lightning fighter jet squadron arrived in the UK after long flight supported by Voyager tankers from MCAS Beaufort in South Carolina. UK Defence Minister Mark Lancaster has welcomed the arrival of a second training squadron of state-of-the-art F-35 Lightning jets to RAF Marham...

1349 EDT--Team 14 flt (KC-10s 305th AMW KWRI) working on 268.025. During chat mention QSY'ing to 305.5 Tuned in and sure enough there they were.

1400 EDT-- hearing couple of fighters (no call noted) working with Team flt on 305.5. Team flt advises fighters that they are in block F290-FL300. Sounds like 305.5 might be new Coronet freq--at least I don't have it on my list of Coronet freqs.
