Someone spotted it departing Moron today. Don't see that often.. One of the Norway birds?

Reported to have been on a show of force mission out of Dyess and diverted. I guess we missed that one ? Twitter

Did the VT F-35s leave for VIPER yet? Listening to BTV ATC on LiveATC and haven't heard anything yet. Won't be able to listen for much longer so let me know if you hear anything.
Edit at 19:40, KINGFISH31 flight just got IFR clearance to VIPER
Edit at 19:41, SCOTT11 although might have been STOUT11 got its IFR clearance

McGuire has flight to Rome NY Weds morning and two later in early evening to Bangor.. hmmm.
Sounds like a Bangor tanker stage.

AirScan, started picking up comms on 314.4 and 226.8 at 20:07, have been so far increasing in strength of signal and length of transmission recieved since.
I don’t know who the other flight(s) are out there, I only heard the 2 I listed above.
At 20:24 I picked up a mic key up on 226.3.

20:59 - KINGFISH21 flight of 4, five minutes out from RTB heard on LiveATC ZBW (UCA09/ART08)

I just heard the 2 flights, STOUT and KINGFISH. For most of it it seemed STOUT was on 314.400 and KINGFISH was on 226.800. Then towards the end some split off for some "1V1" and I heard STOUT 3 and 4 told to go Aux 17. Then I was getting traffic briefly on 253.200 and 253.700, this was just prior to RTB. I think the guys that went Aux 17 went back to 314.400 for the RTB ?

I honestly couldn't hear that much talking, just a few words at a time, mostly static so I can't give you that much extensive information about that but I can tell you that they used 314.4, 226.3, 226.8, 234.8. I will program 253.2 and 253.7 for next time.

I missed the coms on 234.800. They seemed pretty high on that one, at one point calling in at the low FL300s. Busy on 314.400 and 226.800 and about 4/4 here. The coms on 253.2 and 253.700 were weak and brief. On the afternoon run I was also getting weak traffic on 349.700 so I'd add that one too.

Looks like some RCH U-28's rotating Stateside and the escort HC-130J may make Bangor or St Johns today from Iceland stop.
That's a nice new HC-130J from NY ANG at Gabreski Long Island.

There were 2 Space A flights out of Joint Base McGuire for Bangor, ME. They're probably going up there.

 

[AirScan]

1005- 3 McConnell KC-135s off BGR. Looked like they were doing a rotation back from the Sandbox, but don't appear to be heading back to IAB ?

edit - just turned left, maybe they are going to IAB.

Anyone have McConnell 22 ARW 931 ARW A-A freqs ?
