Question for you guys, I've seen the BOXER callsign used several times with congressional delegation aboard (in particular Pelosi) but is it used for other flights as well?

From mdmonitor's list, BOXER is the callsign of DC Air National Guard 201st Airlift Squadron.
See: 201st Airlift Squadron - Wikipedia
BOXER 43 is on the way to somewhere in the upper Midwest right now while Nancy Pelosi's sometime chariot 01-0040 is going to Long Beach as SAM 015.
Interesting frequency spacing - I guess the sun's new solar cycle is really helping out.
KC-135s EDDIE 41 and 42 pass Norfolk eastbound. Earlier air to air on 311.3 talking about a primary frequency of 238.9.

Just heard on 135.7 (ZBW MPV52/PLB53) BOAR21 Flight of 4 A-10s (Assuming from Maryland ANG) cleared into YANKEE 1 MOA. ATC confirms that there is a tanker plus 3 other A-10s in the MOA already.
12:03 PM BOAR31 Flight cleared to operate in Yankee 1 MOA

Not Maryland A-10's.. Have never heard them use that callsign.. Checking tape no Maryland A-10's went North today.
From Ron's list.. Checked and no wild Boars in the State of Maryland
BOAR A-10 Selfridge ANGB, MI
BOAR A-10s 122nd FW/163rd FS IN ANG Ft Wayne IN
BOAR A-10Cs 303rd FS/442nd FW Whiteman AFB MO
Tanker was from Pittsburgh so may have picked up the Ft Wayne A-10's.

Apologies, made that guess since they’re usually up this ways in the early summer.

Worth watching the CARF NOTAMs for CE073

1600- Assume NJ DEVILs are working at the Warren Grove Range. A few of their TAC channels are busy, 298.6 & 294.725 plus the range primary 283.1, nothing showing on ADSB.
Also earlier at 1314, had a fighter(s) go over my work going south. Looks like he did the Hudson River run, showed briefly on TIS-B then stopped tracking, if anyone has anything on their recordings in that time frame.

Listening to the LiveATC archives it sounds to me like the callsign was SPORT. There was 11 (x3), 21 (x5), 31 (x4). After the AR with STEEL 75 the 11 and 21 flights were cleared to Gander/CYQX. 31-32 split off continuing to CYQX while 33-34 went to Bangor/KBGR with some sort of issue. SPORT being the MD ANG travelling callsign. Maybe they had left previously to this morning ?
LiveATC Audio - SPORT (?) 33 landing KBGR
LiveATC Audio - SPORT (?) 21 checking on with Moncton
Incidentally checking the KFWA archives there were some mil flights out of there this morning, callsigns JOKER, HUNTER and NAIL. I assume these are A-10s as they all RTB back to KFWA. All 3 are new ones for Ron's callsign list.

Hi What Zulu time were the SPORT flights on Live ATC please
The first flight (11) left the tanker around 1600 UTC and the last flight (31) about an hour later (+/-). Landing in KBGR was on the 1630Z-1700Z archives.

OK Thanks
SPORT 21 departed KMTN this morning sometime between 1000-1030 EDT, routing via LRP (LiveATC). Must have been in stealth mode.
No apologies needed as you can see I have years of posts assuming wrong
Even today I did not catch any SPORT departures on usual UHF so maybe they went VHF. course
waypoint LRP is due North and I usually catch them coming East here.Even LRP (Lancaster) I should have copied here.
I scan limited UHF on tape as otherwise would be loaded with hours of recordings after work
That is their favorite travelling callsign.Wish I was home to maybe snag them.
Seems the regular Army Maryland NG also deploying to Eastern Europe for a May 16 Exercise.
MD National Guard To Deploy To Europe In May (yahoo.com)
Estonia is Maryland long time Brother State and the A-10's have been there before including clipping a road sign
a couple of deployments back..

Guys,
Local 6 PM news had piece on the NOAA acft at Reagan. Definitely there for a show and tell. Trying to get more money from Congress?
Piece I saw had quick tours of the P-3 & B-350.

Thanks for the heads up on the A-10s, otherwise I would have missed them.
Speaking of missing stuff. Saw this on Twitter, some sort of excercise over Kansas this morning.
10 KC-135s, callsigns GRIMM 51-56 and GRIMM 61-64, with B-2s, callsign DEATH 11-??.
The 10 KC-135s all landed at McConnell/KIAB around 0600Z-0645Z.
