I don’t believe anyone posted about this, looks like some hornets did a flyover for the Patriots vs Browns game today.

I missed this and its now out of radio range for me, but it looks like MYNR79 is now on final approach to PAX and took the low route down the Hudson... That must have been a sight. Looking back a page, looks like they had a long day.

Super bug came over Philly about 4:30 this afternoon - was outside so I didn't hear anything on the radio. Single aircraft.

Not sure if anyone has a solid answer to this, but I've noticed as of recently that the President's support planes haven't been using the RCHxxxT callsign, Anyone know why they are switching them up?

Second ARTY Flt on their way home. 247.050 boomer. asking tankers, LAGER721/2/3, for meet at MAC (Macrihanish) FL210 and start refuel but tuerbulence at that level not good for the tankers who want the block 16-18...that however is showing as unsuitable for the bones due to icing

Tanker 1 has 75K, 2 has 60K and 3 has 70K offload available if they fly the full planned route but a little more if they start offload immediately and are able to cut short their flight

Not sure if any online receivers up that way but Glasgow Global Tuners may work for it

I've got ARTY 01/02, 2 x B-1's now working Montreal Center (Ottawa/Montreal area) 3NM non standard trail.

0400 local Second pair off the deck at Fairford WB. No callsign yet.Can probably expect around same time
as yesterday.

McGuire has several flights to Nellis over the next 3 days. Thought maybe for NAF F-35's at Edwards AFB.
They are supposed to stop again in Vermont on way home but have no timeline when that happens.

They seem to have stopped this shortly after the new POTUS took office. Never did hear a definite reason for the change.

One reason I heard is possibly T flights had a separate billing to cover costs and the reimbursement procedure changed after the new administration came in, but again, no evidence was given to support this theory.

Any idea when they started using the T initially ?

Is CAP still going on? I'm hearing couple of ftr types working on 263.2.

Guys,

I've asked before & I'll ask again: " Does anyone know who the C-12 # 76-0168 TITUS ## at Andrews belongs to? The Titus numbers change with each flt & there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the flt routes.

Someone said that the Titus acft is used to train pilots who will fly for the US Diplomatic Missions worldwide, but never have seen anything that confirms this theory.

As Yul Brynner said (in the King & I) " 'Tis a puzzlement"

I think they are part of the 12th FTW which has
Units scattered around the US with HQ at Randolph AFB.
Even KILG has a based C 12 for local USAF pax transport.
