Thanks Airscan. I caught extensive A-A comms on 250.250 between DUECE 11 and 12 from 604-654 PM EDT mentioning REDRIVER. Heard they were going on 4951.5 kHz working HYDRA. At 805 PM EDT, I just punched that in and I'm getting various sounds most likely secure comms, definitely something there.

This may be a glitch but the AKS ATCAA is active from 1530-1730Z today. I believe this is the airspace that the old NYANG F-16s out of Syracuse used.

If the satellites used are in geostationary orbit - do they get full polar coverage ??

C-32A SAM 850 headed to LAX with a possibly associated C-17. Is this a change in plans for the Veep? Or something else?
