s..DEATH 31, flight of two B-2s coming east FL340 block 350 non-standard at 0110Z. Routing IIU-YRK-PSK-HMV.
Air to air on 341.75.
Was a C-17. They had the exact aircraft (01-0186) on display at the airshow a few weekends back.Hoping someday that Dover C-5M crew get same for evacuating 850 people on single flight from Afghanistan.
I don't think a Airbus A388 could hold that many folks
PSK Pulaski seems closest out here East towards Roanoke Va area so assume they turned back West? Boooo!
Liverpool, NY is a village just outside of Syracuse, NYNever heard of a Liverpool NY.. article doesn't say type aircraft.C-17 or C-5M? Assume C-17.

Local news clip of the Growlers departing.Hi Rich-
Two F-18G Growlers SKYBOLT (VAQ-131) were at KFRG for the weekend. I am told they are local guys and come in for the Jones Beach air show every year. I caught them on 249.525 departing Tuesday am. Also, RAIDER VFA-125 departing on 311.225 a2a and demo at the show, and RAPTOR demo departing 290.625 a2a then on Giant Killer.

Guys
According to posts on another list, looks like there are some civilian-owned KC-135s running around. I wasn't aware of these guys.
Here are the tail numbers
N569MA (A7496D, ex 63-8009) Meta Aerospace scheme, old tail number is on the top of the tail.
“This aircraft (N569MA) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator.”
N571MA (A75334, ex 61-0325) Meta Aerospace scheme, old tail number is on the top of the tail.
N572MA is currently registered as a B717, but there are photos of it in the old grey AF paint scheme.
“This aircraft (N572MA) is not available for tracking per request from the owner/operator”
N573MA (A75AA2, ex 63-8016) the old grey AF paint scheme
“This aircraft (N573MA) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator.”
Both N571MA and N573MA seem to be based on the East Coast (poss Myrtle Beach)
