Around 1230 local, while out in the backyard, I saw a camouflaged C-130 fly over my house and land at BWI. I'm pretty sure it's a Pakistani AF C-130.

Thanks for the correction. Couldn't quite tell what the flag on the tail was due to the sun. But sure looked like camo to me.

Using SPUR,CABAL and RUMMY tanker callsigns..

I see SPUR 72 turned north to join the party, the 3rd KC-10 out of WRI is SPUR 74, and the KC-10 out of SUU is CABAL 91 (with RUMMY 72). Looks like quite the operation.

Updated to add the 3rd WRI KC-10.

VINYL 62 flying southwest over Japan at fL360 on course for Okinawa if it stays that course.

Starting October Iwakuni will get some additional F-35B deployments.. Maybe Cherry Point guys?

One of the MT Buffs tdy at Fairford UK had engine out IFE landing in evening over there.. pretty routine as #6 engine low oil press light.
I get that around here from time to time as Del ANG C-130H will declare IFE with engine off inbound KILG.
Firetrucks roll out etc.. Watch also at end as U-2 lands Fairford with Dodge Charger Hemi as chase car.
Heck overseas nice to see US muscle car working

McGuire busy again today with two early space A flights to El Centro NAF
and one to Davis Monthan. The DM flight could be another retired KC-10 perhaps.

 

[Mark]

Hoist 90,91 were tankers to El Centro.
Blue Angels have Baltimore show this coming weekend.. makes sense now.

1010- SAM 445 (C-37 # 06-0500 AE206D 89th AS) off ADW heading southwest.

Mark,

I haven't heard anything on the local news about Angels coming to Baltimore. If so, last time they came to B-More they staged out of Martin State.

Supposedly a “virtual show”. Not too sure if they’ll just use clips from previous years or how it will work!

 

[Mark]

Yeah Angels list next scheduled airshow
April 2021.. Your right Baltimore fleetweek is only a virtual show this year.. my bad.
Maybe Hoist tankers doing something else out there.

 

[Mark]

Maybe they will take team to Pensacola for a change of scenery
