Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[Mark]

I would expect McGuire & Dover C-17s will play in this.

Rgr that Ron nice catch.. This weekend looks very quiet as space A flights from bases around here
show no flights for next 3 days.. Guess Camp CAP may be only thing going on the next 3-4 days

DUSTER 1 made it home to Holloman today.. DUSTER 2 still showed Louisville but may have piggybacked
on DUSTER 1 mode s. Fast jets with about only 1 hour fuel high speed flying time for the hops. That was drawback of T-38's.
low fuel range but a great excellent futuristic fast jet trainer from the early 60's.
When I saw them they had no under carriage EX fuel tanks so guess why the short 1 hour 600 mph hops.
Maybe they don't even have ER fuel tanks for them

My CAP stream will be online for those that have the info. Should be active before I'm even home from work.

The callsign "RIDER" is only listed for 3rd AS/436th AW C-17s from Dover AFB and 27th/94th FS F-22s from Langley AFB

Maybe of future use/interest:
In addition to those uses above the US P8s currently operating out of Scotland regularly use RIDER as a callsign root when transitting between bases (rather than when on 'operational' flights). ICAO codes for these are not fixed (the ones in UK markings have, so far, used fixed addresses)

 

[Madfox]

The RIDERs through KBGR turned up at BIKF this morning, VP-9 P8s. Will be two of 168852/169004/169546/169547, originated from MSLP El Salvador..

The VIPER airspace goes active at 0900 this morning with the exception of Lightning 3 and 4 ATCAAs which go active at 0930.

Just noticed this today --

Three New F-35 Squadrons To Be Based At Florida's Previously Storm-Ravaged Tyndall Air Force Base

Adding 72 of the stealth fighters to its roster will complete a remarkable, albeit controversial, turnaround for the hurricane-hit base.

0932 BIG31 flight of 4 cleared into VIPER complex as well as LIGHTNING 1, 2, and 3 and they were cleared to change to tactical, heard on LiveATC ZBW (UCA09/ART08).

 

[GriffissSpotter]

Thanks! I’ll keep listening!

Two more flights of jets got cleared into VIPER and LIGHTNING, their callsigns ended in 11 and 21, can’t understand the word in the callsign though.

Thanks Justin. Yes I was able to hear the tanker in route. (It's on my audio in the link in the post above this one) Confused me at first but yes I looked at the TFR VIP list and there it is. Lots of action this weekend!
