Yeah he tracked right over the house. And I watched the needle move closer to +60 over S9 as he did.

 

[mdmonitor]

1523 EST- ADS-B showing A-10 # 78-0702 at very low altitude over the Pinelands Reserve in NJ (Warren Grove Range). Probably one of the MD ANG A-10s that left Martin State earlier this afternoon.

1719 EST- VC-25 # 82-8000 departing ADW. Probably for POTUS rally in Wildwood NJ this evening. Guess he'll land at Atlantic City.

Big plane for such a short trip. But does make a better photo op.

1755 EST- Wild 1 flt (F-16s 121st FS DC ANG ADW) check in w/Giantkiller (255.0) and asks about the Maine tanker. ADS-B is showing KC-135R # 58-0021 (AE058E) at FL260 out in W107/108. The ADS-B database has AE058E as ME ANG 101ARW/132ARS Bangor ME. Had short xmission on 307.725 just before Wild checked in and sounded like same voice. Maybe they are doing the CAP for POTUS in Wildwood.

SCARY 1 flight may be headed to CAP - on 255.00 with Giant Killer. Tanker is currently on 135.725 Giant Killer
Wild flight as well - maybe just training in W107

Thought I heard some AR on 288.0

 

[mdmonitor]

1800 EST-- Two SAM flts departing ADW. SAM 094 (C-37 # 99-0402) & SAM 105 (C-37 #97-0401). SAM 105 looks to be headed southest while SAM 094 seems to be heading southwest.

heard the same here in brentwood PG County md. and yes he was VERY LOUD here as well.

 

[mdmonitor]

1910 EST--Looks like SAM 105 is returning to ADW. Was a short flight without a landing. ADS-B showed him flying down to Newport News area making a big turn and heading back.

Had brief coms of two fighters being in the block on AR-777 315.900 so offshore NJ.
Tanker DEECEE 01 showed at up to fl270 tail 59-1480 a MacDill KC-135.
Getting weak coms on 251.900,may be unrelated.

For the second consecutive night have mode s
SLAYR94 U-28A/PC12 #05-0573 at FL16k and
145809 MC-130J #14-5809 at 13.5k
Must be data com testing in the area of Fort Indiantown range... The MC-130J shows every so often tracking in Pennsylvania between KZER and KMUI.

Tanker is gone - DC fighters headed home and no USCG helos up. Even N5NJ NJSP helo is at KWWD refueling and waiting until end of event activity. Just a quiet evening.

Some interesting activity in the DC area tonight. Local reports of lots of Blackhawks flying around Alexandria. At the same time MYSTIC61 C-12 with hex ADFE48 has been circling the area at 12,500ft for several hours. I heard a pilot tell DCA tower that he'd rather not discuss what they're doing. The C-12 is operating out of Manassas, like several RO-6As have been recently.
