Looks like annual STRATCOM Global Thunder 22 exercise is underway.. May get some bombers and more HF EAM's over the next 10 days or so.
Prob why we already had so many E-6B EAM coms over this past weekend.

U.S. Strategic Command commences annual nuclear readiness exercise—Global Thunder 22 > U.S. Strategic Command > News Article View (stratcom.mil)

Some old twitter posts from last few exercises.. Wish they would send the Barksdale Buffs to the Northeast for a change :)
Usually starts with ground classroom briefings,munitions etc so don't expect much air action till near this coming weekend.
Seem to be running later this year.

Must be Pacific altrav coming up as two McGuire. KC-10s headed West as QUAKE 71,73.

QUAKE 73 initially stayed down at FL250 dragging BEEF 85. BEEF also went to Hawaii, part of the same mission ? QUAKE 72 stayed down at FL260 all the way across but didn't seem to be dragging anyone ?

Here's the lineup so far - QUAKE ALTRV. Just missing QUAKE 83.

In your first post they look like Gold Tops out of Davison AAF, regulars to COG sites in the area including Site R and Camp David close to your location.

Yea they are regulars around here. In my 30 years of living here, I've never caught one actually landing at the Site R helipad. Never in the right place at the right time.

First day usually paper-shuffling before things get under way.
Not much E6 or GHFCS activity over the past few days though an interesting message this evening
