1340 local RANGER-81 KC-130J #169228 inbound KDOV with First Ops 349.400 req 30k fuel.
Prob head eastbound later.. Those Texas Rangers of VMGR-234 Reserve always seem to do Dover stop before weekend pond crossing.
You would think Joint McGuire would be the stop place. McGuire more into chopper Marines I guess :)

1130- ADS-B showing a couple of Reach acft Reach 1008 (C-130 # 89-0280) & Reach 1010 (C-130 # 90-0162) transiting our area to the south along the coast. I'd bet my last dollar that they are Spec Ops types. They both left from Bangor.

1510 local a couple more Ron in from St Johns maybe.. Both 27SOW AC-130W's.
Both were flying at max altitude of 19k thru the Med.. A bit lower now.. prob too cold.
unpressurized cabin with cannons hanging out the side :)
RCH 1038 90-1058 went thru Med May 2020
RCH 1036 87-9288 went thru Med October 2020. Must be rotation time out of sandpit.
Look to be dropping into Harrisburg.. rare you see these guys in daylight hours thru here.

1520 There goes Ranger-81 EB out of Dover.

Seems we now have 28 US Navy E-2D's in service.. Doesn't seem long ago they started this program.
DVIDS - News - NAVSUP WSS Integrated Weapon Systems Team delivers Mission Capable E-2Ds (dvidshub.net)

US Stratcom will kickoff off Global Lightning 21 exercise next week.. This annual exercise usually starts slow
with ground drills/schooling etc before we see any Buffs etc take to the skies.Prob late next week we will see or hear something.
Should hear a lot of HF Coms as well. Will see where they send them off flying. Seems last few years they have concentrated on Pacific areas
from Alaska,Arctic and East Asia. Maybe we will get lucky and see a change this year and get some East coast action.

0733- SAM 927 (C-32 # 99-0003 ADFEB9) off ADW heading southwest.
This flight looks headed to Texas. The Admin supposedly sending down staff to check up
on the Border problems.. Gee, who didn't see that problem coming?

Notice RCH 827 #03-3117 also out of DC about an hour behind SAM 927 tracking same direction.. hmm.

Odd aircraft Southbound ZDC Norfolk 121.375 CRYPTO-181 shows as GLF4 N181PR Reg Pending.
