1020 - BISON 21 flight up on A-A 371.250 and said they’re going to work in the AR-631 orbit and then get clearance into the MOA which I’m assuming means the Yankee MOA.

1031 - DEVIL 11 flight cleared into the Viper airspace.

C-17's around here into McGuire and Andrews over many years would often mention on CP need to offload the "Silver Bullet".
I guess now they just call it a pallet cargo offload and never hear mentioned by name anymore.

Two A-10’s came down the Jersey coast this afternoon. I checked ADSB and had a miscode coming down the Hudson from PSM. Two came back I guess.

The ex-National Airlines pilots with Pan Am taught me the one-finger rule to read this gobbledygook terminal forecast:

'Put your finger over the weather. If there's still writing below your finger, the weather's bad Bubba!'

The second group of Alaska F-22's made it to RAF Lakenheath yesterday.A few photogs wandering out in the field to catch them.
The F-22's look odd with those travelling ER under wing fuel tanks.
More F-22s arrive at Lakenheath - YouTube

Speaking of custom F-15 paint jobs the Oregon ANG has one with good story behind it.
Been a long while since these guys at the 173rd FW did local Fighter CAP duty out of Langley so due for a return.
