Not sure why BLUE-61 diverted to Pease as maybe some Hornets had to divert up North.
The 3 other BLUE tankers made it back McGuire.
I was out at time but only thing I had on tape was at 1350 local was MAZDA-21 level at 280 on ZDC UHF
prob coming down the Coast offshore.

Hi Mark,

The weather is good in the Northeast today, as far as flying is concerned anyway, but it seems strange not to hear ANY fighter exercises. Wonder whats up. Not a holiday that I know of. And they missed Friday pretty much because of the wx.

Thanks.. GOLD-21 was coming back from previous Altrav so guess they told him to go home via Greenland and
pick up these guys.. GOLD-21 was at altitude all the way to Greenland then dropped to FL250.
Always have hard time hearing AV-8B radios. Weakest radios in the US military
