1135- Had a Navy C-2 and E-2 just go over going north towards NYC at low alt. The C-2 shows on ADSB as RAWHIDE 72, the E-2 showing only on TIS-B. Both now going up the Hudson River, probably turn around and return to VA as they usually do.

Interesting page. The columns changing in size, as I scroll my phone screen, is a little off putting.
