ADS-B shows that the DeeCee 01 earlier went down to the Knoxville TN area did some orbits (AAR?) then came back home to ADW.

Actually in older days there was always both of the big VC-25's up domestically but in past few years each of the VC-25 tails
were down for long periods for overhaul upgrades one at a time so they turned to the C-32A's a lot more often for backups.
Now more back the way it was till we get the new B747-800 monsters someday... Will make current 747's look smaller

Makes sense. I never noticed it in the past but that's only going back a few years so my history is limited.

Couple odd ones from this morning departing to West it seems.
0835 local WICKED 1 climbing up Pot apch UHF gives route waypoints TERPS then OTTO.
OTTO being in New Mexico.. TERPS is in Southern Iowa.

0910z STRIKE 91 flight of two also departing req uniform freqs ZDC Swann 360.700 >
Guessing maybe West Coast Navy types going home.

02/19/20 @ 1540 local- Have a US Army C-12 (10-00258) doing tight laps off the Cape May coast at FL100. His track shows he's out of ACY. Any of you Cape May guys hearing anything?

Yeah was tied up with the day job today so not much monitoring. I am sure he was on Giant Killer and there appeared to be a lot of fighter traffic today in the Warning Areas at various altitudes.

Question:

Has anyone heard the DC ANG F-16s using their VHF discretes (138-143 MHz)?

Over the last week or so I've heard several flights working at Andrews and going to Pax River areas as well as W107/108 and the only A-A I've heard is the new one 238.175. I have the VHF ones in my scanner but they were active at all.
