1818 Aircraft heard on ZOB Altoona 363.075 direct Barksdale.

There was a B-52 SKULL 31 working the Fort Drum Range this afternoon around 16:00-17:00 so that was probably them on RTB.

There’s 2 USMC KC-130s that were working in the Yankee MOA in VT/NH, anyone picking up anything from them?
Update: It seems as if they are now leaving the MOA.

Callsign was ROMAN 35. While working ZDC Casanova (LiveATC - controller only) they were cleared to 5000 feet then cancelled IFR, "radar services terminated frequency change approved". Then about 10 minutes later popped up in the same sector requesting clearance back to KNTU, cleared via GVE direct at 15000.

Have they switched it up to 90s movies now ? ABIDE 55.

edit - upon further review I see ABIDE has been used in the past, so not a movie reference. Twitter reporting possibly part of a "continuity of Government Excercise" ?. Excercise ?

1626- SKULL 41 leaving Viper West on ZBW 135.250, requesting direct ROC-IHD.

note- ZBW08/09 are actually split at this time (very rare), lots of weather deviations into KBOS. SKULL 41 initially called up on 323.00 and the controller told them to call 135.250 (different controller) for their clearance.

1634- SKULL 41 back on UHF to ZBW 353.925.
