We had plans to make the 3 hour trip to the NAS Oceana Airshow next weekend but with the idea of seeing the B1 and B2 I think we will go to Andrew’s. It’s nice having a wife that loves military aircraft as much as I do….didn’t have to do any convincing when I told her what was suppose to make an appearance.

The T-Birds are scheduled to arrive ADW, Monday 9/12. The airspace is NOTAM TFR for
14:30L to 16:30L.

Pretty good flyover yesterday at Duxford of a gaggle of Spitfires/Hurricanes.

PlanesTV on Twitter: "Spectacular skies provided the backdrop for the astonishing sight of the 'Duxford Wing' today - a sky FULL of Spitfires and Hurricanes. The finale to the @IWMDuxford Battle of Britain Air Show. https://t.co/9T5BR5dQLE" / Twitter

Got a report of an AWACS flight spotted in the Philly area. I have not seen anything on adsbexchange or flightradar24. There was a "Twilight 169" working Philly approach. Handed off to New York via Pottstown. Could that be it? Not familiar with a Twilight callsign. Also not seeing anything matching the vectored flight path for the Twilight plane.

B-2 MISTY 11 headed east past Kentucky at FL370 at 10:55 am EDT, sounds like a single talking with Indianapolis Center on 322.425>353.825>284.725>346.3.>335.525.

Cleared direct Toledo. An airshow or football game flyover?

Usual B-2 weather avoidance request with the comment that their onboard radar is not very good at seeing the cells (individual thunderstorms).

MISTY says that they have 'zero ability to dissipate electricity' so they have to stay at least 40 nautical miles from any convective activity. That helps solve the puzzle as to why they will usually try to avoid icing conditions with such a wide berth. Often, in icing you will see St. Elmo's Fire on the windshield of a jet, little lightning bolts that zap across the windshield.

MISTY 11 gets recleared direct Rosewood, direct Toledo to avoid weather.
