I agree about being an F-18. But I'm doubtful about being 168911 as that site has it. Scramble has 168911 at VFA-87at Oceana.
I think it's more likely a jet from the west coast squadrons that deploy with the Roosevelt. CVW-9 is with it now. The last deployment ended in July. VFA-31 and 87 went back to Oceana.

HAHA Thank you. I googled the hell out of it last night with no luck at all. I'll let the person who told me it was Roosevelt they were wrong. I don't get to do that often.
What about the flight ID P405 and tail 405 ? Coincidence ? Looks like a VF-34 aircraft so probably not ?

Today AE58BE was displaying PARTY. That is a VFA-87 callsign, so maybe it is a VFA-87 jet. Probably more likely 168469 NH-405.
168911's nose # is 401. But back in CA so soon and with CVW-9?

Thanks, yes it was a cool video. Now how about if some of you guys could edit/add some of the comms from this flight into the video....
The 94FS F-22s again delayed, now re-scheduled for Wednesday.

PS: the Netherlands just went into an almost complete lockdown, all non-essential shops, restaurants, bars and schools all closed for 5 weeks.
Most folks required to work from home, public transport only when really needed. Damn.

As they were heading south over VA, one of the tankers was passing that he was going to leaving the drogue trailing throughout the rest of flight because there was some sort of issue when they would retrieve it. They'd reel it in before they landed.
