Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[Dutchmil]

The VAQ-135 Growlers that were deployed to Misawa for the last six months, departed this evening from
Honolulu on their way back home to NAS Whidbey Island. They should be arriving there in about two hours.

DORY 61-63 and DORY 71-72 with tankers FIST 13 (62-3569) and FIST 14 (79-1950).

1740 local AF-2 inbound Andrews GLF5- 06-0500 followed by
SAM2A GLF5 97-0401 and
SAM3A GLF5 99-0402.

Guess VP and company like the GLF5's. Had most of them today

SAM3A 99-0402 was used by SG when he went to Vermont earlier this week.

VP has a trip to Baltimore scheduled for Thursday (29th) doubt she will use one of the bigger AF2 fleet

The President and the First Lady will travel to Atlanta, Georgia, also on Thursday, April 29

To add to this, FEUD 11 and FEUD 21 flight arrived this morning at Elmendorf from Misawa with some of these tankers.

Correction to this, they were F-15s arriving from Kadena AFB, not Misawa.

I just found out that a guy I went high school with is now flying the C-40 with the 201st AS. The last time I looked up what he was doing he was flying C-17s.
Him and his dad were in a GA crash in 2002, his dad didn't survive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...al-deed/53efb9c4-d009-4ebf-89fa-34e87d0209d2/

What bugs me in many of these GA accidents with a well seasoned pilot is you never hear why the plane lost power
on departure.. Most small planes have secondary/backup ignitions,fuel pumps, etc that you shouldn't lose engine power for no reason.
Maybe why the SR-22 is so popular and expensive is you got the Chute to save you.
Never hear really why this plane and others just lose power..

You have to look up the final reports yourself. As long as it takes, by the time it's issued the crashes are a complete afterthought to the news.
No different for the medevac crash into the Potomac in January 2005. I knew the pilot.
