The P-8 is TALON83. Hear it via LiveATC after a touch and go at BWI.
Chatting with ATC, crew had been in contact yesterday. ATC was excited they were coming up, said they like having traffic.

Travis

Looks like he came all the way from NAS Jacksonville FL. Long way to come for pattern work.

Hearing him on BWI approach (119.7) & tower (119.4). Just saw him in his all grey paint job fly over my house on approach to runway 33L.

This Beech 350 N72FE showing as CAVE58 is actually something-14. Hearing with BWI app too. Out of Hagerstown and probably undergoing conversion to military use.

Travis,

He's all over the place Hagerstown, BWI then down towards Norfolk and the back.

Now back to HGR, callsign is CAVE14. Going to maintain 4000 now because they were just at the bottom of the clouds.

According to the ADS-B database N72FE belongs to Raytheon.

Just posted on Thunderbirds facebook page.. Edited for content.

NAS PENSACOLA, Fla. – The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds, and the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, will honor frontline COVID-19 responders and essential workers with formation flights over New York City, Newark, Trenton and Philadelphia April 28.
Flyovers in Newark, New York City and surrounding boroughs will start at noon (EST) and last approximately 35 minutes.
Flyovers in Trenton will start at 1:45 p.m. (EST) and last approximately 10 minutes.
Flyovers in Philadelphia will start at 2 p.m. (EST) and last approximately 20 minutes.

Saw a Alabama poster on Scramble that jets were already at McGuire as well but doesn't add up.
Why then would TBIRD 14,15? be headed to Pensacola Monday morning.
Also the above story byline is from Thunderbird 1 currently in Pensacola.

Local wx forecast here Tuesday is mostly Sunny and 62 degrees winds NW at 9mph.

What comms will they be be on? Local tracon plus an interflight freq. UHF I would imagine for all of the above.

Fyi guys - Good WX forecast for both NYC & Philly ---

What comms will they be be on? Local tracon plus an interflight freq. UHF I would imagine for all of the above.

In that earlier post of flight plan from last week mentioned Philly apch freq 291.700 and South of Philly 323.100.
Both of these are low altitude freqs below 10k.
That earlier post mentioned they would keep heading South via Salisbury and pickup KC-10's but will see.
As posted above here the Blue Angels scheduled for Indianapolis Weds. I think they are using wx forecasts to
schedule their regional flyovers.No sense doing cloudy rainy flyovers. Thursday forecast looks bad around here.
Friday forecast looks decent for Balt/DC area.

1933 local SPUR 81,82 up on A/R 258.000 Nantuckett with Reach flight assume C-17 RCH353 #10-0220.
SPUR 81 #59-1444 121 ARW Ohio ANG eta 0045z.
Reach req 65-70k from each.. Heavy flight ..
SPUR 81 says spares up at Bangor as well if needed so plenty of gas.
Is this a real Reach RCH flight or spoof
1948 local SPUR 81 on 258.000 says will meet/overfly other two tankers and for SPUR 82 to A/R with REACH and slow down a bit.
SPUR 83,84 KC-135's from Wisconsin ANG showing up that way.
