Caught the first MAZDA cell on recording then listened live to second cell. Here's my logs:

1222z 378.200 GOLD 81 and MAZDA flight boom freq.
(Note - a friend of mine caught MAZDA A-A on 305.900)

1343z 299.400 MAZDA 41 flight A-A.
1350z 373.550 GOLD 91 and MAZDA 41 flight boom freq.

also had OTIS 82 (AE6A14/170039) take off from Pease heading North East after the flight passed through. Most likely support C-130 to meet up with them.

Nice catch.. Saudis off to Red Flag I think later at Nellis for March7-18th.
Usually with Saudis they have a US pilot/radio op or one of the backseats when entering the US.
Security precaution as sometimes their English is so bad they get lost with ATC.Also I suspect US not crazy about
Saudis since 9/11 going cross country in F-15's unescorted.
