Took my dog outside and brought my BC125AT with me, at some points, I was getting crystal clear sound and very strong reception.

Most interesting thing on the goontube video is the Dome Trainer building

TREND34 had an issue and the flight has asked for a 1 hour extension

The Secret Service requested a Blackhawk helicopter with "fast rope"
commandos to help reinforce the White House amid protests against police
violence in early June.

We obtained the letter from the Secret Service to CBP.

TREND34 not repaired in time. Five lined up with the fifth being air-spare. Four departed
BLUE83 and 85 departed Mildenhall moments earlier
As usual, the BLUEs will probably show on normal cooperative ADSB websites but the F15s only if using PlanePlotter

TRENDs 246.650
BLUEs 307.900 interplane and 294.800 boomer
284.675 for Swanwick

TREND lead saying he doesnt think the other two will get out tomorrow due to lack of tankers.
BLUEs are returning to Mildenhall today BUT are returning to US tomorrow and suggesting that they could actually take off with sufficient fuel to drag those two even though it's not planned.

TRENDs taking 3K each in turn before they do their main top-up over the sea prior to oceanic

Comms broken but after VSAT call to mission planner it seems that the earliest that the fighters could be re-filed would now be Friday (if they said what the reason for that is I didn't catch it).
BLUEs still thinking that would work as they wouldn't have to meet an 07:00 departure from Mildenhall tomorrow
Guess if the tankers don't depart early tomorrow we'll know what the planners decided

AirScan, VIPER goes active at 10:00L, if you can, please monitor LiveATC as I am in school and most likely unable to do so. No big deal if you cannot. Weather might make them cancel anyway.

SUA website showed it hot, but between 1000-1059 I didn't hear anyone get clearance into it. Probably scrubbed due weather.

SAM267, 99-0402 GLF5, currently on the ground in Burlington VT, carrying Second Gentleman. Wonder why they aren't using the EXECUTIVE 2 FOXTROT call?
