10:45 Flight of 4 CH53 headed northbound towards Atlantic City - crossed the Delaware Bay then descended to below 1000 feet ...
callsign Hammerhead 11 HMH-366 - Marine Aircraft Group 29
1320- Those (4) CH-53 just went over my work at about 500 ft heading towards NYC/Hudson River. No comms noted since I was outside away from radios. Showing as 1 on ADSB.

1054- Topcat 4 (KC-135R # 58-0010) working discrete (327.6) coordinating AR rendezvous w/unheard stn. ADS-B showing Topcat 4 over VA Eastern Shore heading towards Norfolk. I have that freq marked as a B-2 freq.

Looks like TOPCAT 4 picked up EPIC 31 over the ILM VOR for AR202. 327.600 is listed in the AP/1B as the primary AR202 frequency.

Last I saw CHILL-21,22,23 they were heading over Michigan Upper Peninsula then gone.

Got them on LiveATC ZMP cleared down to 7000/10000. Mentioned some area but couldn't make it out, intermittent bad intereference on that radio. My guess is they are working the Ranges over there then going home ?

And SPUR 99 westbound, looks like it's going back to SUU. Came from SUU on the 1st but didn't show up on ADSB-X in between. Was it doing CAP stuff cloaked ?

Another BUFF(s) heading northeast out of Minot. Update- seems to maybe be working CYR410 (Shilo Ranges) ? I didn't think B-52s were allowed to bomb Canada ?

1533 Local time. My son just reported they flew just past him at the Portland Jetport (KPWM). He described a flight of four H53s. Most likely headed to Bangor I'm ASSumming.

1400- Sabre 46 (KC-46 # 18-46044) transiting area heading northeast. Departed from McConnell AFB KS. Working ZDC Sea Isle (127.7) request descent. Prob going into WRI. Interesting, Sabre 46 is female pilot.

SABRE 46 is still in WRI and hasn't flown since. SABRE is usually a maintenance callsign. I've seen a few KC-46s change bases right after they come out of maintenance. I wonder if this is going to be WRI's 3rd KC-46 ?

The Manitoba Bombing BUFF is now eastbound and down. Heading your way ? update - nope, running the Green Bay fakeout play ?

definitely a CN-235. flying c/s VIKING52 yesterday at FAY.

from Alan's c/s list:
both WOODY and VIKING are 427th SOS.

I thinks it's actually going to be a C-295W. 17-0601
I doubt they had winglets added to any of their 235s. And there more windows between the door and wing than a 235. Fuselage is longer in front of the wing.
