Checked the tape again. When DEMON was talking with JTAC they mentioned they had 200 live rounds of 30mm. Sounds like maybe A-10s to me, maybe out of Selfridge on a short TDY to Wheeler-Sack ? Do any F-16s still use 30mm ? Didn't hear enough to confirm the DEVIL flight was F-16s, they seemed to be mostly operating at lower altitudes and were out of my range ?

F16's use a 20MM gun, the only fighter to use a 30MM is the A10

0948 - BOBCAT 78 handed off to ZBW 135.250 from Syracuse Approach, nothing heard yet on LiveATC UCA09/ART08 or 135.250 on my scanner.

Checking LiveATC the handoff from SYR APR was to ZBW 133.250 or 279.500. Heard BOBCAT 78 and shortly after BOBCAT 51, both cleared direct to ULW/Elmira. Sounds like they are going home ?

PACK 41 landed at Wheeler-Sack. The DEVIL F-16s did some dogfighting in Viper (226.300) then planned to land at Wheeler-Sack for a 45 minute pit-stop.

If OTIS 34 goes to Griffiss, I’m almost certain the Harriers are to follow. Please let me know if you hear any possible Harriers coming up from MCAS Cherry Point.

Not showing now but on way home news said First Lady will isolate in Wilmington assume at their house.

Rare time a Martin State A-10 shows up on the range near Atlantic City.. #79-0086

At the Warren Gove Range. Sometimes they call it "inbound R-5002 or just inbound the Range"

Took an adventure down to NAS Patuxent River today… after that heading down to Webster Naval Landing Field (KNUI). Got a USNTPS X-26A being drug by a USNTPS DHC-2. Also as I drove by saw the MQ-8C Firescout doing some training around the airfield. Wonder if the Navy will start using it either this year or next
