1605- Hearing weak chat on 266.6. Same pilots working ZNY Flint Hill (290.2) MD ANG A-10s coming home. Sounds like 5 acft in the flt.

Sorry Pete. Didn 't see your post before I hit my button.

 

[Tech792]

No worries Ron. They got weaker here so I'm assuming heading south back to MD.
1616- Warren Grove Range is currently hot 283.1, haven't ID'ed the user yet

1630- TREND 53 checking in ZNY 290.2, direct Baltimore

Where are all our Northern Yankee/Canada listeners today? Must be Holiday up North.
See earlier BLUE-81 KC-10 #83-0076 departed KNFW last seen headed towards Goose Bay.
Not sure if they dragged F-35's up there but assume they did.Maybe BLUE-81 will do solo and complete trip tomorrow.
GOLD-98 KC-135 #60-0331 MacDill to McConnell today..
No sign of A-10's here into KMTN today yet.

Bit of a mind bender these ones Mark, all seem to be on CE102, maybe east coast drag tommorow or Friday!

Do we know how many A-10s have arrived at MTN so far?

 

[Mark]

Rgr guys was napped out but did catch two flights of 3 into Martin state.

1620 local TREND-42 female op flight of 3 VFR into Martin State countoff of trailers was 2,3 .
1650 local TREND-53 flight of 3 inbound countoff on freq switch was 2and 5.
Guess 4 Trends got left behind for now.. Maybe be in tomorrow as flight of 4.

1842- Hearing more MD A/A 271.4 mentioned JFK, might be more TREND flights coming south?
1850- 271.4 Getting stronger, chatting back and forth, sounds like flight of 2
1900- TREND 54 checking in on ZDC 281.45

1858 local "TREND-41 flight of two"on Balt/Potomac apch 317.425 at FL8k
"Yeah that callsign was our European deployment Altrav callsign and Thanks..good to be back"

1920 local "TREND 51 flight of two with information whiskey at Martin State" on 317.425
Cancel IFR and req VFR to the field.. TREND-51 pilot just sounded absolutely dog tired in his voice.

My guess is that a 2nd tanker scratched and a single KC-135 couldn't bring all 10 all the way home from Iceland
so four of them had to make fuel pitstops up North.. Just my WAG.

Glad they all made it safe and sound Thank you guys in the group for all your reports.

SAM899 C-32A 99-0003 off ADW headed across the pond. Anyone know who it's taking/where it's going?

The recently confirmed US AMB just arrived to London. I wonder if that was her and her family’s ride over?
