Maybe PACK-44 the spare as sort of just lingering close to home.

If it's the same as last night the PACK K46A will meet up with the BISON K35R in AR-631. edit - I guess not.

1917- DOOM 81 split from PACK 43. So far the DOOMs are still together in the block FL200-FL210, direct HTO flightplan.
1930- cleared to block FL260-FL270
1941- to ZBW 292.150

1930- 2 SPUR tankers off PSM to AR with RCH 4207 on AR80.

341.750 SPUR 71&72 working REACH 4207 for refueling on AR Primary. Must be a heavy bastard needing two tankers this early!!

Curious as to the 4 digit REACH callsign. Unusual one for me. Must be something very speacial!

Not getting these recent Buff flights.. They seem to spend more time up and down AR-80 tanking then actual mission.
Why not do A/R down this way South on the way back to Barksdale? I guess maybe AR-80/20 are likely in future to be
more conducive to overseas missions?

They should be heading your way now Mark. Their route after refueling was direct Hampton (HTO) then flight plan route. I can't hear them now so they should be popping up on your radios soon.

Mark,

Word online is that POTUS doesn't like living in the WH. It's unfamiliar to him and he has trouble adjusting.

Like any old codger, he likes what he's familiar with and doesn't like change.

But he’s not any old codger, he is the president.

 

[TerryPavlick]

But he’s not any old codger, he is the president. If he does not want to do his job, resign.
[/QUOTE

like a lot of people nowadays- government officials can work remotely no matter where they are ... so whether he is at the White House Camp David Wilmington or Rehoboh Beach - he can still do the job just like the 45 presidents before him. Missed the bombers today- this old codger just finished removing the tile flooring in the kitchen and dining room today- time for bed early tonight

Summary
1963 BOEING KC-135R
Fixed wing multi engine
(83 seats / 4 engines)

Mode S Code: A75AA2

First Civilian KC-135R N573MA - Meta Aerospace

Scramble was among the first to notice the appearance of all four ex-RSAF KC-135Rs, which are now registered N569MA, N571MA, and N572MA, on the U.S. civil register just last week. FAA's online records show the registrant for N572MA and N573MA as "Wilmington Trust Co Trustee," with an address in Wilmington, Delaware. The entries for N569MA and N571MA show that formal approval of their registrations is still pending.

Dunno who the new buyer of Singapore’s KC-135 are, but whoever it is has a sense of humour in naming N573MA “Timothy Dalton”.
