Navy A/C down near Wallops. GRYHK40 on scene. 3 Souls in Water. CG 6004 headed north from Elizabeth City.
Sad to hear about the Navy E-2 crash yesterday. I had an E-2 go over my work yesterday at 10:29 am at 1K ft to do the Hudson River run. However it was only showing a generic UFO on ADS-B. Wondering if it was the same one.

"DOG" is a common callsign for VFA-143 out of Oceana. FL280 also suggests that as that's a common cruise altitude for fighter aircraft.

Nice catch Mark, was following them as well, good chance heading for Kef to relieve 169549/VP-10 & 168848/VP-45 who have been helping out up there.

1013- Hearing some A/A on 260.9, wondering if related. Also see a few UFO on the screen. One going up the Hudson River at FL310 and another went off towards Long Island. Both were out of Jacksonville. Just found the first one up by St Johns at FL310.

Notice down Melbourne Fla airport they have launched all their BE40 jets Northbound.
Maybe to avoid storm coming across soon.A real Conga line. I count 10 so far all seem to be heading to McGhee Tyson.
Then many are departing westbound from there.. Count 6 more westbound from KTYS.
That 3rd P-8A turned right over Norfolk headed out to sea. Prob just a local mission to see if any subs hanging offshore Norfolk :)

3rd one AE684B (169003/VP-45) was GRIFFIN16 which is the one I think you refer to Mark!
