Not sure why TBIRD cargo planes bouncing between Dover and Indiana course Dover Speedway
has several Nascar races this coming weekend so maybe T-Birds will hit them both?
Dover Sunday race is not till 4PM local. Saturday X Finity race at Dover has military Grand Marshall's etc.

 

[Mark]

Both C-17 TBIRD cargo flights were Dover tails so thinking now TBIRD 15 did Dover to Nellis to Indy then home Dover.
T-BIRD 14 did Dover to Wallops to Indy then back home Dover. Seems Indy race only party

Did see online a 4 ship of F-18s performed a missing man formation over Horsham PA for a funeral service. Wonder if these are the jets that participated?
