1600 local RAGIN-21 Flt of 3 at FL240 Southbound ZDC UHF
Seems VFA-37 RAGIN-Bulls did the Navy-Army game flyover.
Missing one or two today Southbound? Single seat F/18E models.
Thinking someone here logged some RAGIN's last week or so?

Probably was Coast Guard 202 who was headed that way this morning. I didn't follow it but pretty sure they would've used one of their own acft.
Did some digging and found that CG 202 left NYC stopped at ADW then went on to Paducah KY
1910 local here comes CG-202 from Kentucky to DC at FL 450.

160th SOAR did make a stop at Ft Campbell Ky stadium (assume their home plate) to drop a football :)
What type are those little scout choppers?

Ok after some searching they are MH-6/AH-6 Little Birds that SOAR use.The MH-6 is the unarmed model.
AH-6 / MH-6 Little Bird Helicopters (americanspecialops.com)

CFC 3618 C-17 #177702 coming Northbound from Barbados. Recently QE was removed as Head of State on that island and became their own Republic.Propelled by the BLM Movement talk is Jamaica may be next. Barbados relies heavily on Brit tourists for income.
Maybe CFC C-17 taking back home some of the Queen's gear :)

1947 CONVOY 3261 on 133.`125 ZDC59 reporting problems with his avionics"

Based on listening to the aircraft via LiveATC archive - looks like the navigation avioncs had some issues. They wanted it checked out at McGuire prior to crossing the ocean. Probably INS or similar system onboard.

Lots of information here (large PDF in the link) about the C130 T model (the controller on 133.125 was a crew chief on an H model and asked them what model they were flying - reply was and old T model).

Prior to the Barbados the same flight appears to have stopped in Jamaica, Belize and Trinidad. CFC 3618. Knowing Canada it was probably delivering some sort of Aid ?

OTIS 13. An interesting visitor to CFB Trenton, Ontario. Wonder what is happening?

Seems two OTIS C-130s have been operating out of Trenton for the last week. Some sort of exchange, or they just wanted to experience what operating in freezing rain is like ?

OK Madfox who is the delivery for this morning? :)
Saw GOLD-12 KC-135 Iowa ANG stage at Scott AFB and overnight here took someone to Maine area.
See also a KC-10 was up in Maine area as well at same time GOLD-11?
0400 local GOLD-12 tailing it back to Iowa at FL400.
Being Scott AFB is just East of St Loius was guessing new F-15 type delivery.

BTW isn't this the week LN gets their first several F-35A's?

Ill do my best Mark lol, RETRO61-64 dept St Louis earlier today with GOLD12 out of Scott, GOLD11 will drag accross the pond out of KPSM, CE code is 018 where the last lot of QeAF F15s used CE017 so looks like a block booking, Tanker call signs are again the same as the first delivery so all points to Qatari F15s. Dept from EGUN will be RETRO 61-65 likely a three night stop barring any slips as a single F15 was left behind from the first delivery and has been sat on Mildenhall for over a month, clearance on dept for the RETRO flt was EGUN.

Re the LN 35s, not sure if its going to happen by the end of the year, Id guess the next BLUEs will give it away when they do move.
