Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[Hbright]

For Army chopper fans up North the Conn crew has all 5 now new UH-60M Choppers.. Lucky guys!
In Delaware we still have mostly 1982-83 models but still kicking.
DVIDS - News - CTANG completes Blackhawk fleet conversion (dvidshub.net)

Those are some good looking helos!

From the article: “To make room for the new helicopters, the old frames were transferred to other state’s National Guards, civilian organizations, and one was moved to the Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group (TASMG) in Groton.”

I wonder what “civilian org” got an ex Guard -60L? CBP? FBI?

Those two WVA ANG C-17's that arrived KMTN Friday morning still appear to be there.
No record of them aloft since. DECOY-87 #03-3123 and DECOY-88 #01-0196.
In fact the Maryland ANG A-10's themselves have been real quiet this past week or so.
Maybe still loading up..

There is a TEAL-95 WC-130J #96-5302 parked at Reagan Airport in DC. Odd stop for them. Hanging out with the Coasties?
