Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[BM82557]

Guys

Neat looking L-39 spotted at Georgetown DE this morning. Spotter says owned by individual and has been at Georgetown for at least 15 years. I noticed the Playboy Bunny logo but couldn't see any registration on it. Maybe someone with younger, sharper eyes can spot something.

1130- Couple of MC-12s off BWI---Shady 19 (#95-00100) & Shady 87 (#09-00646) from 224th MIB Hunter AAF GA. They are heading south--prob going back home.

1150- ???-106 (unid) working DOV approach (132.425 & 257.875). Couldn't catch callsign. Complains that VHF freqs not working well. Advises DOV approach that they are not getting as much data as they need to so will cancel PPR.

No, a climate change study group.Seems warmer by the pool in Miami than DC. Will have to fly down again next Month to confirm it Lol

1309- Cayenne (HF-GCS) .....

Are you sure of the callsign Ron? Barely readable here even on fours but didn't sound anything like CAYENNE. End of message it soiunded more like (but I'm not saying it was!) TITUS/TYPHUS

 

[Mark]

Morfis I saw a couple ROMA 81,91 KC-135's going from Greece or Middle East to UK today
Any idea who they were dragging?

That's what it sounded like to me, but the blocking RTTY signal was strong.

BLUE96/85-0030 inbound the East coast, should be dragging the last two DC to Andrews, looks like they have already split.

I suspect Spangdahlem F-16s going home but I've been out caving most days this week so am out of touch.

Anyone know what 92-9000 is up to? It has been at Lackland since Nov 2020.

Given the WX concerns, I wonder if they will divert.

Lackland/Kelly AFB is the location of the Boeing plant that is building the new AF1. It's also rehabbing 92-9000.
I'm guessing, but would suspect that 92-9000, after rehab, would return to being AF1 until the new one is ready.
& 82-8000 would probably be retired..

1600- AF2 (C-32 99-0004) off ADW heading south. Going to join the party in Miami?
