On ADSB Exchange, I was following a USN C-40 that was over mid-Michigan, and it disappeared from the site about 20 miles west of Warwick, RI. (It was on a heading toward Theodore Francis Green Airport.)

Would it have turned into a pattern for Warwick, or continued to TF Green?

Yeah everytime I see a HON callsign on my screen - I think Honeywell (too much commercial aviation in my past !!)

Funny you guys on this Honda Jet as Sunday evening buzzed over my house in thick clouds
making approach to KILG.. Had to look him up.. Must be factory demo for customers perhaps or training flight.
Not bad time Orlando to KILG. About same as commercial.. Must be near range limits though on that flight.

DCM4140 (A4F4E3) departed KMDT and heading southwest. Shows as 96-1854 a C130 on flightaware. AE0428 on mil tracking. One of the SBS program hex codes (A4F4E3)

These are not one and the same. DCM= "Dotcom" = FltPlan.com Allows flights to operate with the Dotcom callsign to obfuscate tracking. These flights are not available for tracking on Flightaware either. No associated plane registered to 4185D. It's reserved by the FAA's Surveillance and Broadcast Services office. Maybe they're maintaining some regs to be used for privacy like this?

Look at the speed of the DCM flight, clearly a jet not a C-130. Also returned to MDT a few hours before.

No mention by ATC to other traffic that would ID the type. I didn't check tower or ground comms.

ADS-B showing Spur 73 (KC-10 # 79-1713 AE020B) from Travis going across northern NY State--near Syracuse now (1740 EDT)

Maybe setting up for someone large and thirsty? :) I know when they work Carib refueling almost always use SPUR 50-54 numbers.
1749 local SPUR 73 started down near Syracuse where the heck is he going? Maybe Pease AFB?
