B-21 delay news.. Well at least they will have to roll her out this year for testing
Reminds me of the Boeing 747 rollout.. Couldn't fly yet but great photo op.

One of the few U-tube pilot vids I subscribe to is Steveo/kinevo a commercial/charity TBM-8 turboprop pilot down in Florida.
He did the T-Birds down n Florida for a ride along.. pretty cool. Sure is a lot of preflight prep.

G08088; G08806; Nomad 64. Hearing helo comms on 246.8 Cheerleader; not sure if these guys are involved with the mission at Braden Airpark, Northampton Co PA. @0900L

Hey Richard this was the only comms i hear from them was 246.800 cheerleader going to 126.2 . and then after that nothing from the helo but the range was pretty busy today .

The 3 CH-47's out of Bradley were too far NE of me to hear them on 246.8 a/a as they were flying around 5K; the helo that picked up the troops in Northampton looks like it took off from LVI and headed towards the Gap after the troop p/u. There were other helos flying around the Gap using 227.3 which is a National training freq.

B-2 flyover at Dover scheduled for 12:25 pm local. Sure is a lot of bad wx over St Louis area now.
Should easily hear them inbound as usually have a spare along.

Guys,

I see Dover airshow has a scheduled B-2 fly over tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the Preakness Race in Baltimore. Maybe he'll fly over that as well?

Searching the ADSB exchange to see since the scheduled time is 1235L

Any good frequencies to monitor to hear the B-2?

 

[Mark]

Locally first try Potomac apch Baltimore 317.425 and Dover apch 257.875 and 282.325
There is a livestream on utube link but requires signing up and my computer nixes that website.
Prob end up getting spammed a bunch later if you sign up.. Think I will pass on that.
1230 local I never heard anything up my way and now Pitts stunt plane is up.
Blue Angels go on at 1PM after Fat Albert demo.

 

[Tech792]

1225- Think I see the B-2 on ADSB, just appeared as a TIS-B target hex- 278E1C at 1,000 ft going east of the airport

Here in Kentucky I've got B-2 DEATH 12 checking in with Indianapolis Center level FL350 on freqs 269.425>348.625>263.05>322.375.

FL350 suggests that the B-2 is eastbound. Sounds like a singleton.

I think when DEATH-12 was talking about Harrisburg and Andrews he was charting his 10 mile legs
using them as directional waypoints...
1618 local DEATH-12 reports at FL 3500 back on schedule.. on Potomac apch 291.625
1635 local T-BIRDS up counting off on 149.650 and later on 235.250

Just heard on 123.025 helicopters talking about B-2 getting ready to fly over Preakness.

The US govt said they wanted to book a commercial cargo jet this weekend for baby formula to go from ETAR (Ramstein)
to Indianapolis.. Not sure if to KIND or KGUS.However no commercial flights were available so they turned to
the DOD. The only flight seen so far today that could possibly match this route is RCH-738 Dover C-17 #07-7174 who
departed Ramstein earlier with quick stop at EGUN and last seen NW bound off Scotland at 1720z.
Will keep eye out for this one when it pops up over the Northeast/Canada perhaps.

Update: scratch this one I think as RCH-738 now shows going EGUN to Dover instead on ACARS exchange
