Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2019

[frogpondoffutt]

Lot of HIVE C-130J's up around down South mainly but also Northwest USA etc the last week or so.
All belong to the 19AW Little Rock guys like above.
Assume exercise callsign unless the 19AW has a new callsign.

Mark, definitely exercise callsign, they have been up alot the past few days here in the HOG MOA. Also lots of foreign accents who are not familiar with the area here so im guessing foreign assset training.

Anybody know why KC-10 84-0190 would be flying a pattern over SE PA this afternoon? ADS-B Exchange shows it flying over the northwestern burbs of Philadelphia. A coworker of mine texted me to ask what the heck it was. The routing shows it coming in from the midwest.
