What air to air were they using ?
Terry
I wasn't home to see which freq it was but assume since they just departed KDOV were
on the 349.400 CP freq.
One of the C-5's RCH-323 #87-0045 out of Duluth diverted Dover overnight here around 12:30 am with
hydraulic leak alpha 3.The other Duluth C-5M RCH-550 #85-0002 is pressing on towards Spain this morning.
GOLD-21 #86-0032 pressing on EB thru Med off Spain this morning. I guess the Langley F-22's are stuck in Spain
for whatever reason along with KC-10 tankers BLUE 41,51 etc. Maybe awaiting more tanker help.

NASA-436 C-130H on way back to Wallops with a Customs/Fuel stop at Dover first.
Cargo run to Stockholm..
ASY-531 did stop at Dover req 150k fuel and trans for crew of 7.

NASA436 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Flight Tracking and History 09-Apr-2022 (CYYR-KDOV) - FlightAware

A few hours ago there was a ROMA-91 KC-10 #79-1947 NW Bound from Scotland headed US with 3-4 Hill AFB F-35's.
Looks like on a Polar route so may not catch much down our way unless they come up short of fuel.

1041- VAMPIRE 26 departed KBTV, cleared direct BOS. Nothing showing on ADSB-X. Was handed off to ZBW 135.700 and given 282.200 if they needed it. update- callsign filed as "VMPYR 26" destination KCEF. Type ?
They mostly fly F/18F and EA/18G types.. Could be a weekend trip home for some local area VX-9 pilot.
Navy are only ones that allow that. Never hear USAF F-16 or F-15 pilot take one to home area on the weekend.
Here is real old roster last updated in 2008. The North Spin - USN VX-9 Alltime Aircraft Roster

ROMA-91 KC-10 now diving South near Ottawa at FL400. Maybe dropped F-35 chicks off with another tanker or in Iceland?

I believe the mention was likely in reference to President Biden's BLUE HEN Combat Air Patrol that is active while he is in Delaware.
The name presumably comes from this restaurant:
the blue hen (thebluehenrehoboth.com)
More than likely the mascot name for University of Delaware Fightin Blue Hens
Just a nickname for the assigned NORAD tanker Altrav when running the Wilm area CAP.
The Altrav down at his beach house is Blue Claw as in Blue Crabs down there :)
Delaware State Bird | "Blue Hen Chicken" (statesymbolsusa.org) Were good at Cockfights back in the day.

1355 local ROMA-91 with 30 minute outcall at McGuire 134.100 reports alpha 2 with one writeup
and req Customs/Ag and crew trans.
1404 local ROMA-91 told Customs may be an hour late..
I guess everyone has to stay put till they show up :(

ROMA-92 showing over Minnesota FL260 as 58-0065. Thanks Madfox

I managed to see these yesterday when they diverted into Lakenheath, pure luck I only turned up about 20 minutes before they arrived.
