I'm seeing T-Bird 14, 07-7170, AE1468, headed east approaching Cincinnati
See tanker KC-135 SNAP 51 also Cincy area at FL25k prob has the T-Birds like a couple weeks ago.
SNAP-51 just turned back Westbound going to FL36k so assume they are done.
Looks like TBIRD 14 headed to Langley again..

SPURS didn't go this morning as expected so maybe try again tonight.
Two other SPURS went west from McGuire today but are headed to Hawaii about 2 hours apart at FL38k.
so probably not related to above.
SPUR 91 KC-10 85-0034
SPUR 92 KC-10 87-0121

Chuck in Michigan picked up MAPLE 11 flight of 4 last week enroute Wisconsin.
Their A/A enroute was 314.400.. New one for me so added to rotation.. Seems on a exercise there.

0900- SAM 128 (C-37 # 06-0500 AE206D 89th AS) off ADW heading south.
0932- Reach 725T (C-17 # 04-4137 AE1242 6th AS WRI) off ADW orbiting just south of MCAS Quantico prior to landing. Like Reach 726T earlier.
Orbiting to burn off some gas before landing????

POTUS heads to NJ this afternoon, 2:35pm departure to Morristown 3:50pm arrival Bedminster.
UPDATE: POTUS brother hospitalized, same flight schedule to Morristown but goes from there to NYC landing at Wall St landing zone with 3:50pm arrival, he will be in NYC for 2 hours before heading to Bedminster using Marine 1.
Heads Up guys,
There's a WIDE 72 (KC-135 59-1453) headed your way from Bangor now over Long Island. He was working Huntress up here on 260.9 getting his offload, TACAN, and assigned block altitude of 230-250. Not sure who/if/what he is picking up to refuel. Just figured I'd give you guys a heads up.

Might be related to CAP duties over NYC/Bedminster
1440 local- Kilma CAP established over NJ
Tanker WIDE 72
Fighters are NOBLE 01/02, HMX-1 A/A tac is active.
Sounds like F-15s out of Barnes. TAC 259.9

It's looking that way as I just checked and he's circling over NY/NJ now. Must be the CAP tanker.

Current Barnes tac 264.85
Surprised to see 09-0015 taking off from Morristown and headed south I thought it would remain in the area in case it was needed.
Trying to unsort all these SPUR Tankers East and West..
SPUR 86-89 KC-135's into Bangor a couple days ago.. Still there.
SPUR 90 at Dover the same. Maybe a spare.
SPUR 93 tracking Hawaii bound now KC-10 #79-1712 from McGuire, guess was delayed 1 day
to join SPUR 91-92 McGuire KC-10'S That went West towards Hawaii yesterday.
There are Three B-2's tdy way out in Pacific at Diego Garcia REAPER 11 flight a few days ago that was 29 hour mission flight.
Possible they are setting up a return mission flight Westbound from there hence all the SPUR's up Bangor?
Just don't know here.. Something is up..
Locally tonight at 17:37 had a chopper check in with Phillips AAF tower says "RED DOG-21" flight of two USMC Choppers
working their way just North of Aberdeen/Phillips at 1k altitude.Prob passing thru.
Tech thanks and think it is MAG-49 Reserve and unit HMLA-773 McGuire.
Red Dog patch .. Rare to hear around here

We get those RED DOG choppers here in NJ all the time. They are USMC Cobras. They actually went overhead last night.
A/A is usually 264.2. There is also a low band A/A but I can't recall it at the moment. I'll check my notes.
I believe they're based out of a local MAG unit at McGuire.
