Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[CYUL]

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.

Saw SPUR91 into Pease an hour before at 13:44 ET.

Interesting as SPUR-91 #57-1461 is from 155ARW Nebraska.. Two Mid West KC-135's.
Prob qualified Bomber tanker crews. Usually means bombers for later A/R but not always.

Same freq the Civil Air Patrol in Delaware was using last week. That was a first heard here.
AR-220 has Res tonight 2245z to 0100z.Maybe Teams headed that way.
E-4B #75-0125 INIGO87 coming East towards AR-220 at only FL 19k.Maybe inbound Wright Pat.

Just heard SNAKE 11 get handed off from ZBW to KGTB Approach. No HOG flights heard. Maybe part of the same flight or the ADS-B callsign is wrong ?

That’s probably it.

Explains the SNAKE callsign.

NICE20 (63-8013) doing racetracks south of Dover at FL220.

CAP tanker?

 

[Tech792]

1202- Just had a P-3 go overhead ( 16-0293) out of Jacksonville NAS at FL270....almost sounded like a C-130 but not as basey

 

[Hbright]

USCG 6575 off GED orbiting near DOV. lack of Bouncer callsign probably indicates it is doing overwatch.

Yes CAP tanker

A USCG C130 (CG2003) is on the ground at KWWD (Cape May Wildwood airport) and USCG MH65 helo 6588 is on the ground at USCG Cape May Training Center facility.

Had NOBLE-01 with Dover appch asking about lower control altitudes and VHF freqs for CAP.
Dover says controlling 132.425 and 125.900. NOBLE's A/A 267.500
Notice CAP tanker working lower than normal at FL22k.
1439 NICE-20 requesting rtb on Huntress 260.900. Think Huntress wants them to stick around a bit before NICE-21 arrives.
1441 nest pair of NOBLE's 11 inbound A/A 268.200 will be doing boom checks before clearing out the other two.

Mode S comes back as UH-60L #95-26631.. Prob converted from the A model 1Bat/169.Av/C.Co (MEDEVAC) at Weide.
Weide has quite a few Med-Evac UH-60's with the big red cross on the sides.

BTW SPUR-91 logged the other day into Pease #57-1461 155ARW Neb ANG was NICE-21 today in the Beach CAP.
No bombers with these guys
