1145 local COSMIC-01 climbing up on ZDC 363.000 enroute Guard Dog CAP 2 miles front to back.
1249- A little odd. TOPCAT 4 (KC-135R) departed KWRI and flew north at 3k ft through northern NJ. Now doing a racetrack over West Point Academy at 2800 ft. Must be for a ceremony at the academy.
1255- Now he coming back south
1308- Just went over my location. It was the KC-135R flanked by 2 fighters.

1335- TOPCAT 4 getting clearance with GK 255.0, sounds like he's gassing up DEVIL flights. Devils also on 255.0

This may have been for the Greenwood Lake Airshow!

RCH ?? 87-0034 & RCH027 87-0119 look to be joining the party.

Wonder if they are loaded with seating pallets? I would guess McGuire will send some KC-10's as well.
Sure reminds me of Saigon at the end

Sure does. News reporting that Afghan President has fled the country.
1627 local RCH-807A C-17 06-6159 Travis inbound McGuire says 10 pax have their own bus
to their KC-10. Several times called his flight "RCH-807America"
Came in from Travis and notice now 1825 local a McGuire KC-10 86-0028 departing McGuire.
Maybe a Travis KC-10 crew for McGuire or relayed a McGuire crew from Travis.
Noticed the last couple weeks every C-17 or C-5 Heavy headed East or coming from there has RCH 8** call sign.
See many C-17's and KC-135's rolling East even now.

Give this a listen. 😮
That KC-10 86-0028 dropped low on AR-20 and is now returning. Maybe was a local to top of SPUR-86 KC-10 #79-1711
SPUR-86 now with RCH894 old C-17 88-0266 out of KCHS on AR20/80
Dover C-17 01-0186 RCH-871 in the news.. I think 800 pax sounds extreme but no doubt booked heavily.
See above post also by Freqhopping. Dover crew going for world record pax on a C-17?
Thought Intel said we had 90 days? LOL
Military Monitoring World on Twitter: "Reports that USAF C-17 RCH871 airborne out of #Kabul in #Afghanistan has 800 passengers on board! Incredible work being done by #USAF and allied aircrews just now which will without a doubt go down in the history books #AvGeek #RadioGeek #MilMonWorld #BravoZulu https://t.co/8De9wLusWb" / Twitter
2025 local RCH-839 KC-10 #86-0032 off McGuire EB
2040 local RCH-21.22 KC-10's from Travis have just about reached Mildenhall UK. Made good time!

Satcom recording of that RCH-871 out of Scotland. Like the comment. "Good job getting off the ground"
Reminds me of that very last line from the movie Bridge over the River Kwai.
Madness. Sheer Madness!

2105 RCH 849 C-17 #04-4130 off McGuire EB.
2110 local RCH 849 seems to be rtb McGuire turning South still climbing though.Maybe headed for KCHS.
Lots of Heavy C-17's headed there and out of there from West Coast.I think KCHS being huge C-17 base has lots of pax pallets and comfort cargo
to upload.. just a guess.

Although I won't get to this year's AC airshow; the T-Birds usually come in on a Monday aft with their usual yelling with landscape points as they have a mock up practice air show on Tues with the main show on Wed.
Wink 70 - KC-135T - 60-0337 in the CAP; weak chatter here on 260.9 & 247.050.
