First two new F-35A's for Vermont Green Mountain Boys should be in next week then
two per Month after that.Local press not happy with new photo restrictions on these types.
Doubt these restrictions will hold up unless Dod cancels total local access and I don't think that will fly.

291.200 AM active this morning 1200Z with Steel Jaw (E2C aircraft) and Range Control regarding launch activities. 343.225 active with similar comms. Other callsigns noted were Cowboy and Sierra. Some of these may be ships in the warning area since conditions are good.

*** VHF marine comms related to the activity are on CH 12 156.600 FM - station identification is NASA Wallops Control.
communications with vessels and Coast Guard boats to keep other vessels clear of the missile launch zone.

Dover airshow arrivals prob start Thursday afternoon for Friday-Sunday shows..No big Air Demo teams
this year.. Rare the T-Birds or Blue Angels aren't there.. F-22 Demo Team (RAPTOR1) seems the top act.
Buff and KC-46 tanker are scheduled for display and MQ-9 Reaper,Pax River tail?
Good news is this year no long shuttle busing as parking right on the base.
Without top Demo teams crowds should be less and getting in and out much easier.
Bike week in Ocean City so prob lots of them around all weekend.

(A18D51) N2A Zeppelin NTLZN07-101 at 1050 feet at 1530z this morning.

Yes trying to figure out what Wallops is launching and seems a
Black Brant IX Canadian designed Sounding Rocket scheduled for Sept 17-20.
Their next big launch is Cygnus to Space Station on October 21

Mark

Whatever they were launching was for the US Navy and there were many naval assets out in the Atlantic along the launch corridor. Apparently yesterday's launch was successful and the activity has stopped. Still trying to figure out if I was actually hearing the naval ships on 343.225 along with the air units and Wallops. NASA Wallops Control was definitely monitorable with conditions on Channel 12 VHF marine.

Logged a new French Air Force C-130J today 1955z headed North still using Lockheed
factory test callsign.. Last logged up near Maine/Canada 2105z
(3B75ED) LAC5874 FL250.
I think they ordered 4 of them including two KC-130J types.

Bit off topic but Navy has ordered a snap deployment drill (Sept 16) for their Sealift Command ships of which 4
are stationed in Baltimore.. Lets see if the Baltimore guys can get them on their way in 5 days.
