BLUE 42 seem to far north for a Mildenhall drop ? Now turning north, towards Iceland ? Any reports from the UK ?
Heard they had RETRO-91 flight with them which is normal for depot F-15 deliveries.
BLUE-42 at FL28k headed into Central UK then turned North and back Northwest over Scotland at FL28K headed towards Iceland.
Maybe was a divert today for whatever reason.. wx looks fine for now over there. Never seen that before.
Maybe dropped F-15's off at LN and headed for Iceland for a later mission?

Finally confirmation of those MISTY-61 B-2's I logged Sept 11 here coming ashore near New Jersey.

B-2 Spirits depart Iceland, return home > <p style=font-size:20px>U.S. Air Forces in Europe & Air Forces Africa</p> > Press Releases

The same aircraft from last night are entering the Capital region again. Is this still NORAD related? Looks like 10 aircraft doing orbits over Maryland, Virginia & West Virginia including a nearly 80 year old DC-3

There were more aircraft than what are visible. I'm listening to LiveATC TRACON for last night and there were KING1, 2 and 3 flights departing from Manassas after midnight. They headed different directions, up to 11k ft and advised to say when they're on station.

Actually these may be the Dynamic Aviation Beech 200s.

N359AR identified as RESEARCH9AR
N737H identified as such.

Nice report but I never heard a Polish F-16 this morning. Only the two F-15's coming up the coast with BLUE-41.The F-16 may have scratched.
Still not sure why BLUE-42 went Scotland direct BIKF.

Could someone tell me what helicopter this is? I know it's a UH-60 but it has a stripe on the side. It almost looks like an HMX-1 but it's hard to tell. I can tell you I see it frequently. It comes from the northwest near the Raven Rock area and heads south near Hagerstown. Usually around late morning or early afternoon. It has never appeared on ADSB or FR24.

Hi Mark, not sure why the BLUE turned for BIKF, theres a westbound coronet today 16th so maybe for that but theres also x4 Polish F16s up at BIKF which have been doing the NATO mission out of there so could be something to do with them?

OT F-117 aircraft.. Hard to believe that in 1991 saw one of these at Dover AFB airshow just after Desert Storm days.
Was one of first public show displays of this type and was surrounded by tape and armed MP's as was the new rock star technology aircraft.
Now they are going out to Museums as ancient history.. Still a few flying out West though.. Pics all over twitter etc the last couple days.

DVIDS - News - 144th Fighter Wing Welcomes F-117 Nighthawks for Training (dvidshub.net)

1503 local SPUR-90 KC-135 #59-1519 185ARW Iowa ANG looks inbound Pease.
