Two C-32As going west past me in Kentucky. AF2, E1F or an Orrin Hatch funeral delegation?

DEUCE 15 B-52s passing Kentucky air to air on 250.25. 'Standby for words...'

Two later called lead on 226.875 for a comm check, no joy.

Eastbound, with ZID on 360.675 FL260 block 270 non-standard.

Looks like you are right as SAM 800 and 851 turn for LAX. Two 757s? She must have done some shopping.

SAM 829 appears to be going to the shop in Greenville, Texas.

Looks like SAM691 C-32A 98-0002 has joined 01-0041 in ATL for what will likely be months-long mx with Delta.

99-0004 C-32A has arrived at Majors, Tx as c/s SAM829 joining 02-0042 C-40B.

1600- Duece 11 flt (sounds like---B-52s Barksdale AFB) working ZNY Elk Mountain (298.9)>ZNY North Mountain (269.1)> ZOB Indian Head (363.075).

DEUCE 11 just checked in with ZID on 319.15 FL260 block 270 non-standard within 3 (that 'non-standard within 3' usually indicates bombers in my experience). My earlier report of DEUCE 15 was probably DEUCE ONE FLIGHT instead of DEUCE ONE FIVE (FIFE ). The lead did seem to acknowledge as DEUCE ONE instead of DEUCE ONE ONE more than, uh, once.

And it is DEUCE, not DUECE, right? Fortunately for most of us, spelling, punctuation and grammar are not strictly enforced on these U.S. aviation forums. I have been accused of omitting the Oxford comma on one of the more civilised [sic] UK forums.

That (EPRZ) airport in Poland must be busiest Mil base anywhere these days.The C-17 and CMB flights

Guess all the big defense bosses will be at Ramstein tomorrow for a meeting.

The C-17 was 07-7188. It flew from Andrews to Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport in Poland as REACH 4155 on Saturday. The plane is at Ramstein AB, Germany this evening.

Support C-17 from Andrews currently into Poland RCH-4155 #07-7188.
Prob has a few vehicles aboard and security Pax.
Not far behind him also inbound from Andrews RCH-247 C-17 #08-8201
Govt VIP's in the past also used C-17's like into Baghdad and Afghanistan cause they also have defensive weapons aboard.
Current time in Warsaw is 12:55 am local. Kiev still a ways from Poland so maybe use choppers?

I didn't get a copy of the train schedule.

1AM local: looks like the Falcon Virgo exercise that NORAD had scheduled for early today/Tuesday isn't happening. Nothing on the radio and no non-airline aircraft below 10K feet on ADSBX.
