The RR database is kept up to date and would be the first place I'd look for air shows.

CADS-106 #4131 McGuire ,CADS-108 #06-6156 from Travis.
Landed with lights out req with Dover tower around 0220 local.Departed for back home at around 0500 local.
Trip home they are just North of Fort Polk AAF area.Seems like they are doing pardrops down there this morning.
As of 0800 local here still circling low down there.
Maybe CADS acronym stands for Combat Air Drill Squadron or something like that..
CADS-106 went down to 6k or less and circled down there while CADS-108 just did racetrack nearby at 18k.
0810 local both seem to be headed back to Little Rock.Maybe was these guys?

Heading home today .... BAD BUFF. Haven't heard the callsign yet.

I thought that the B-52 at Loring was probably DOOM 51 from the audio clip below. They are joining B-52 SKULL 12 and KC-135 tankers MASH 82 and 83 for westbound refueling on AR-111 right now.

However, the Loring B-52 flew past the refueling on the way home to Barksdale.

Audio clip attached of the refueling B-52s air to air on 228.275.

AR-111 primary is 348.9, some weak hits as they fly away from my old Kentucky home.

Some a/a heard this am, no id's:

The B-52 at Loring was DOOM 51.

The B-52 out of Loring was using the callsign MOOSE 42 with ZBW. Audio here. Not sure who DOOM 51 was ?

 

[wbagley]

The B-52 out of Loring was using the callsign MOOSE 42 with ZBW. Audio here. Not sure who DOOM 51 is you are talking about ?

DOOM 51 is a B-52 that checked in with Memphis Center on 257.75 at 1616Z and said they would be doing a 'four-ship with the MASH's and SKULL 12'.

From the first screenshot above, I thought that DOOM 51 might be the Loring bird but it was just a coincidental passerby, also at FL280. FL280 is a common pressure altitude for non-RVSM military aircraft over CONUS it seems.

I also heard MOOSE 42 but was not sure that callsign would be used by a B-52.

I also heard MOOSE 42 but was not sure that it would be used by a B-52.

The B-52 was there for the Loring Air Museum Open House Weekend. If I was going to guess I'd say MOOSE was an old Loring callsign.

Also the Bomb wing in Loring was the 42nd Bomb Wing MOOSE 42 ?
