The rest have left BGR as well.
SPUR 86, 63-8026 (151 ARW), SLC-BGR, to WIDE 74-77-78, to MCF as SPUR 86
SPUR 87, 59-1450 (161 ARW), PHX-BGR, to WIDE 75-79, returned PHX as ZOMBE 02
SPUR 88, 59-1453 (186 ARW), MEI-BGR, to WIDE 72, returned MEI as SPUR 88
SPUR 89, 57-1428 (134 ARW), TYS-BGR, to WIDE 73-76-80, returned to TYS as ZOMBE 01*
"ZOMBE 01" was confirmed on LiveATC, ADSB-X showed it still using WIDE 80 from yesterday, I guess they didn't update their ID. Interesting that 2 used the same SPUR flight number while the other 2 used ZOMBE.
SPUR 92 KC-10 #87-0121 moving Northeast FL22k thru Southern Japan currently seem tracking NE from Indian Ocean.
May have other KC-10's with them but not showing.Maybe later pick up tankers out of Alaska.
Prob with the B-2's or B-1's over there.. McGuire KC-10's go everywhere
SPUR 93 showing KC-10 #79-1712 McGuire in same area but callsign not showing with SPUR 92.

I was able to catch the USCG Blackhawk on 364.2000 in Oshkosh.
Apparently Air Force One was nearly hit by a drone on Sunday while landing at Andrews. A news article on the incident contains the following quote: "The FAA hopes to unveil regulations requiring that civilian drones transmit their location and identity by the end of the year. The new requirement is designed to help prevent the devices from being used by terrorists and to reduce the risks they pose to traditional aircraft." Do they honestly think that someone with evil intentions is going down to the local hobby shop and use a stock drone that contains a working transponder? OK, I feel a lot safer now! 🙄
AF 1 heads to Iowa and Arizona today.

Here is a good link that details the damage that can be caused by drone crashing into aircraft.
DJI Demands Researchers Retract Drone Vs. Plane Wing Crash Test—But Is It Truly Inaccurate?
DJI wants the record set straight after the University of Dayton Research Institute fired a quadcopter into a wing at 238 mph.

Did anyone catch the two what looked like F16 doing two low flying passes of Center City Philadelphia today around 1:45p-2:00p local time?
They made two passes from north to south.

Didn’t see them personally but they appear to have been two F-18’s from VFA-11 Red Rippers out of Oceana.

I hate motrbro
I think I just had my first UAV sighting
about 1730. sounded like a conventional craft coming out of the North. cigar-shaped fuselage, long narrow squared wings.
turned southwest (headed to Crisfield?)
wish I'd had my camera, tho probly too small to see much.
I might have seen one before and not been able to identify.

Both 92-9000 and 82-8000 in the air headed towards ADW, look for arrival about 10:25pm Washington DC time
Seems McGuire KC-10's were for the B-1's in Guam/Japan area for the two who went back to Ellsworth as RUDDY 11,12.SPUR 92 KC-10 #87-0121 moving Northeast FL22k thru Southern Japan currently seem tracking NE from Indian Ocean.

SPUR 93 showing KC-10 #79-1712 McGuire in same area but callsign not showing with SPUR 92.
BMBOO 11,12 went back home to Dyess Texas.
Funny the USAF keeps maligning the KC-10's and want to retire them yet when chips are down for large bomber/fighter refuels
they always send the KC-10's.. Meanwhile the new KC-46A's are cargo only mission rated for the next few years.
US demonstrates airpower in Indo-Pacific region with simultaneous bomber missions
Demonstrating airpower, bomber and fighter aircrew assigned and deployed to Pacific Air Forces launched four B-1 Lancers, two B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers, and four F-15C Eagles and conducted Bomber Task Force missions simultaneously with joint and allied partners within the Indo-Pacific region...

Looks like that KC-10 TABS32 was the flyover for LtCol Paul Voss, pilot of the E-11A that crashed in Afghanistan earlier this year.
