Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2020

[AirScan]

I noticed that WIDE callsign doesn't show up on any lists that I have access to.

The last time they did CAP over NYC the tankers used the callsign IGOR, that doesn't show up in any lists either (that I can find). I'm new to milair monitoring so not sure if it's standard that the tankers use random one time callsigns for CAP flights ?

I think we talked about SPUR some while ago standing for Special Priority User Request as the acronym or something like that.

I've asked about that in other forums but never got a definitive answer. I've also heard "Special Priority Urgent Request", but then others have said that's not true and that it's not an acronym for anything.

Last few CAPs over NJ, tankers were using the callsign NICE. Others used were WINK and NATION.

Todays OC Airshow cancelled due to bad wx

Tech was right about CAP intruder post yesterday... Made the news.
May not be charged but I bet pilot license is in jeopardy.

I think an armed MH-6 could take down that RV-7 if need be.

They did the same exact thing last Sunday. The spare came up this way, did a big loop, then back to ADW.

Report that some reporters on AF-1 back to Andrews tonight overflew a drone on twitter.
Nothing official yet heard.
