RCH801T 96-0002 C17 headed southwest, haven't heard of any events down that way

As a side note, saw the longest callsign I've ever seen 53455615 a PC12 08-0850 AE5B8D flying east over NC just south of Raleigh

 

[RaleighGuy]

09-0017 made a round trip from ADW down to Louisianan, on the way back now. Unsure if they stopped anywhere. From FB group, try 142.75 for A-A between 09-0017 and ODIN 99, 73-1677, ADFEB4, E-4B. Suggested this is part of the COG drill happening today. Did not hear anything as they passed west of Raleigh.

RCH801T made the trip to Joint Base Charleston while RCH597T went from JBC to Pope AAF in NC and returning now.

Maybe tracking those UFO's they keep spotting offshore Navy Norfolk?

McGuire has two flights to Mildenhall tonight around 2200 local departure/
Could be the SPUR tankers taking someone across.

Guys,

This from a listener in KY:


"E-4B ODIN 99 (73-1677) & C-32 (09-0017) have been pacing each other from
DC down towards Louisiana & over to Florida. They turned NE & are
heading back to DC at 1816 UTC. The E-4B has now separated from the C-32
in Virginia & looks to be turning south. As is typical in these events,
the FEMA DACN has been active both yesterday & today."



They do this periodically, with the C-32 & E-4 flying same patterns in fairly close formation. Usually the FEMA disaster emergency HF net is active at the same time. Probably playing a scenario with the ABNCP & C-32 (simulating AF1) coordinating efforts in a simulated emergency.

I pass this on because it's interesting (to me) and, I think, bears further watching.

One flew over my baseball game in Remsen, NY! What a sight!!

 

[RaleighGuy]

Wondering if anyone happened to see/log/monitor a flight into ADW last night about 6pm, Reg 10001, Hex 71BC65, Callsign KAF001, B744? Plane is currently on the ground at ADW.

The President of Korea snuck in on us and I missed it. Thought it interesting that the majority of the North American leg was over Canadian air space and not the US.

Checking the LiveATC archives the 3 B-2s were in Viper for about 1:45 working between 10000 and 13000 feet. At one point the controller pointed out to a VFR aircraft they were mainly staying in the western part of Viper (over the Range).

Think I read that Biden to award a Medal of Honor to Korea War Vet and Pres of Korea wanted to be there.

Remsen is slightly south of the Viper complex and they flew over right around 16:00-16:15L. I didn’t have a way to tell the exact time.

Actually the MOH award was announced after the visit was announced, but yes they are doing it together tomorrow.
BTW no travel on schedule for Friday to Camp David.

Has anyone been listening in on the huge AMC exercise going on in the Midwest? I've seen birds from Travis, Charleston, McChord and Selfridge have participated in it so far.
