Wonder if just for fun PARDO-85 was tracking Wallops Antares rocket launch at 15:21 local..
I went out to try and eyeball launch myself but just too much high hazy cloud coverage to the South of me here
not too mention Antares shooting off to the southeast away from here.
Maybe just some ICBM missile tracking practice.. Antares rocket prob looks like a regular ICBM anyway upon launchingMark
When he departed Pax River he flew east then headed north and flew right over Wallops Island & continued north until the southern tip of NJ before heading out over the Atlantic.
Notice some of these Tango flights were from Quantico going to the West like Bob Hope Field.1050 EST--Pakistani Air Force C-130 (PAAF 976 # 4189 76105D) departed BWI and is heading east.
1117 EST-- Reach 188T (C-17 # 04-4128 AE123A) landing at ADW. Earlier had departed from Joint Base McGuire.

Lots of Potus TFR's out in Az,Cal,Nevada for next Tuesday,Weds.
Copied TBIRD 15 with Dover CP reported troubleshooting a couple of faults.Just wondering if anyone can help answer this question? Watched Thunderbird 15, a C-17 Tail 07-7176 make it's way down to Daytona along the coast. Just before it reached FLA it changed it's callsign to RCH241.
My question is will that plane usually use RCH241 when not using TBird15 or does the RCH callsign change depending on the mission/location?
Also seeing 09-0015 headed back to DC followed by AF1 82-8000 and an AF C-37 tail 97-0401, callsign Exec1F headed back south.
