Looks like the DOV C-5s & C-17s are using the same crazy callsign system as the WRI tankers & C-17s.

Here ya go... All the list I have suggest its a C-12V, but MC-12W makes alot more sense.

Thanks, unfortunately I missed them on that one. Were they just using it for A-A or where they talking with Huntress as well ?
1450- Now B-52s heading this way.

Yeah looks like Dover just started this today.. BTW those COMMA flights inbound McGuire were pronounced COMA and not comma.
Spelled like COMMA. Go figure
COMMA 18 was alpha 3 for control problems.Notice that when Sentry's work Potus CAP's they start with two E-3 tails but then one bugs out after a while.
Guess a spare in case.

It was the crew in the back "WIZARD Charlie" talking with Huntress. Also encrypted communications heard on SATCOM uplink 297.525.
Thanks for the heads up on the B-52's, I will listen out.
17-46038 has been around awhile, delivered in Oct 2019 to Altus/LTS.
These are the 2 new WRI KC-46s, they don't seem to have flown again since they arrived at WRI on the 9th.

My bad. Since he left from WRI, thought they might be taking one of their new toys for a joyride.

Use the ADSBexchange history function and it's easy to it landed about 1330 coming from Altus. Too bad last I heard ADSBexchange isn't interested in adding unit details to aircraft info.
Can you hear them on 226.900 and 228.275 ? I'm getting them about 3/3 to 4/4 here in Ottawa.
On Monday, November 22, the President and the First Lady will travel to Fort Bragg, North Carolina
Tomorrow wheels down in Detroit at 12:25pm with wheels up at 5:55pm
