This may be off topic, but this is my first time posting in this thread. So I apologize in advance if I broke any rules here. I wanted to share this as I found it interesting and was wondering if anyone could explain what is going on here. Thanks

Looks like the plane was in a holding patter then cleared to destination and ended up diverting. Presumably a PHL, JFK, EWR destined bird.

0949- Salty Dog 21 (F-18 VX-23 PAX) working ZDC Montebello (284.7) w/request to leave FL220 for FL300.

0950- ADS-B showing Patriot 3 (UH-60 # 15-20780 MA ArNG) on ground at Muir AAF. Flt path shows came into Muir from the Springfield MA area. Maybe something to do with EAATS at Muir?

Some in Virgina got a nice little airshow if they were looking. A C5 was low and F18 high went by in short order. I wish we got that kind of action around here.

1220- Scan 05 (CRJ-7 N805X NGTF) on Northrop discrete (123.225) RTB'ing to BWI after working off the coast in the Atlantic Test Track.

ADS-B showing AE6B94 ident in database as HX-1 CVM-22B operating in local PAX area. No comms heard from him. Too low for me.

1240- Rhody 52 (C-130J # 05-1436 AE143E 143rd AS RI ANG Quonset Point RI) transiting down the coast southbound. Working ZDC Salisbury (120.975).

1244- BAF 632 (Belgian AF A-320 CS-TRJ) land at ADW.

Imagine walking across dark USAF airbase field perimeter and this 4 legged robot comes at you at 7.5 feet per second.. Yikes!
Tyndall is flat as they come so why not cheaper 4/6 wheeled smart robot with much faster ground speed? Just my 2 cents.
They should test this robot at say Colorado Springs instead :)
Tires go flat, and are more likely to pick up FOD items. (Someone else already pointed out the obstacle issue.)

US Army GLF5 R1944 off Andrews looks like enroute Pope Field.. See if this one swings to Dover later.
There is a C-17 out of Ramstein RCH792 westbound over UK now and see if heads to Dover early this evening.

1550- SAM 194 (C-37 # 97-0400 AE010D) off ADW heading south.

Noticed over the weekend that one of VMGR-452s (Stewart ANGB NY) new KC-130Js Yanky 75 (# 169536 AE6046) has been operating out of McGuire-Lakehurst. They look to be doing just low level area activity like they are familiarizing themselves with the area.

Interesting article on the capabilities of the US Army's spy planes that we see flying around here out of Manassas, Hagerstown and Lakehurst.

We Now Know Exactly What Sensors the Army's Powerful New RO-6A Spy Planes Will Carry
Older but excellent article that explains most of the goodies involved.. Really tech packed spy plane.
Most of the Defense companies got a piece of these.
One currently out of Manassas circling just over PA/MD line North of Hagerstown R50332 at 6k.. :)

1812 local Marine 2 calling Dover on 257.875 Dover apch.. simulcast ground on on VHF.
Confirms flight of 2 VH-60's. Event starts at 2300 local.
1818 local Dover appch reports Marine 2 flight at 12 oclock 10 miles contact tower on 126.350.
1821 Dover tower announces Ramp freeze for DC procedures.
1830 Marine 2 with Dover tower "welcome to Dover" and follow me vehicle. Female Marine 2 pilot.
