OK comes back as KC-46A tanker..
MediaRoom - News Releases/Statements
First one went over as tail #14-3611 as RCH-46.The above must be their second one.

So far it's all been LFI F-22s AR with BACKY - SAVAGE 1, RACK 1, KEVLAR 1, HYPO 1, JAKE 1, MADDOG 1. All pushing Button 36 which I assume is 238.900.

1900 local RCH-645 C-5M #86-0017 inbound Dover with 4 rolling stock offload and HF1 Oceanic radio inop.
This Dover tail went down range Middle East a month ago as RCH-232 and RCH-803. Back home with crew of 6.

2105 local PITT-87 C-17 #92-3292 with Dover tower 126.350 asking if anyone else is in the pattern for 1 hour
of T+G's.

Sure were a lot of Navy P-8A's up and down East Coast today.

0345 Missed the F-35 deliveries to LN earlier this morning.
Looking at ADSB seems BLUE-81 KC-135 #59-1495 took them from Ft Worth Tx area to Albany NY area then KC-135
cut loose for home and BLUE-82 KC-10 #84-0189 is taking them the rest of the way currently nearing NF Canada.
Blog report says callsign RETRO-31-34 for the new 495th FW aka Valkyries at RAF Lakenheath.

Hearing the KONA callsign here almost daily now at Lakehurst NAS. Haven't heard JENA in a while. Or even IDAHO in a long time.

Now just off the coast of Scotland. A lot of 15s out so possible the fat ugly fuel guzzlers will get an escort

Maybe possible to follow them most of the way to the heath using globaltuners.com receivers
