With that low ceiling, I'm not so sure of a flyover happening.

1412- Ruff 22 (E-6B # 164404) off PAX heading west.
Happened but they didn't even try to show it because of the fog.

They told New York that the ceiling was too low. Requested to do some some circles VFR-on-top over West Point to make sure they were heard (132.75). NY just switched them over to 290.35.

1535- Medusa 01 working ZNY Yardley (134.6) requesting to go slightly south of current path and then rendezvous with the Angels. Now Working ZNY Harrisburg (133.475). Tankers working on 225.45.
1538- Hearing the CAP on 247.05 & 260.9.
There's been a Banker 44 (OH ANG KC-135) orbiting over Virginia Beach most of the afternoon. He's moving north and is now over the southern tip of NJ.
1545- Banker 44 & Noble 11 working on discrete (228.15).
1548- Pack & Medusa on 225.45 chatting about how to id each other in weather. Medusa says that McConnell doesn't like ADS-B. Both ops like the way the KC-135s use Mode-s to id each other. Medusa & Pack split up refuel of Angels. Pack has 20K to give and Medusa has 10K. Angels lead says 35K should see them through. Only problem might be with the two-seater. Tankers will trail the drogue instead of retrieving it and fly at 300 MPH.

1555 BLUES chattering on 375.350.. Tankers back on 225.450 A/A.
Rich 228.150 maybe CAP tankers?
The KC-46's really chatted away talking about various things they liked and didn't like about
the KC-46 vs Legacy tankers.. Mainly they didn't like ADSB only assignments to receivers on the KC-46.
That 225.450 is Legacy McConnell freq that old Walt from Kansas gave us years ago
McConnell tanker says though his ground crews like flightaware for ADS-B tracking so they
know when we are returning..
