Army 338 had a fun day. Took off from Manassas, did some orbits between Culpepper & Front Royal VA then went over to Harrisonburg VA for some more orbits before leaving there to go just north of Baltimore Over the Susquehanna (near you Mark) then returned to Manassas.

04/11/20 @ 1300 local- Possible Coronet flight coming through off NJ coast. Heard flight of (5) on an ATC channel but was in another room.
ADS-B shows 2 BLUE tankers BLUE 94 & 95. 94 landed at KWRI.

Nice catch, the other tankers were BLUE 92 (KC-135 62-3511) and BLUE 93 (KC-135 62-3540).
They should be departing to Whidbey Island on Monday via a northern routing.

For those of you that are interested, an interesting article that was posted on the Scramble website:

Neat Twitter website to see how World Civ Airlines are doing...

Scroll down to see the nice looking ladies of Air Belgium...
Farther down I can imagine how bad Hawaii is getting hit with little tourist traffic.
Come the Fall all US State budgets will be in bad shape.. Maryland alone may be $2 Billion in the hole according to MD Comptroller.
This is not gonna get better soon financially :( States can't print money like the Feds can so assume they will be looking for
more Fed help.

Speaking of US Mil Civ airline charters seems USAF AMC has lost Miami Air Intl callsign "Biscayne" and their B738's a
couple weeks ago due to recent bankruptcy..

Great pictures of a rarely seen area. After these great images, I'd bet these close perimeter flights will be restricted as well.

0845- Coast Guard 202 (C-37 # 202 AE5F07) depart DCA & heading northeast. Maybe going to CG Academy in CT. Must really have to go there to be flying that way in this weather.

0940-According to ADS-0B he landed at Bradley Airport outside of Hartford CT.

0900- Royal 70 (C-17 # 07-71785 AE146D) depart DOV heading east. At same time KC-10 # 79-1947 (AE020D) is operating off the NJ coast. Maybe some AAR training for Royal 70?

Looks like Royal 70 is headed up into New England passing over Hartford CT & the KC-10 is still off the NJ coast.

0920 local- Hearing fighters on 339.725 but haven't snagged any ID's yet. Possibly why the tanker is orbiting off NJ.
Now hearing AR chatter on 288.0

Ron,

A friend in PA said the KC10 (FORCE) is refueling DC F-16s and F-22s during their ACM exercises.
