Nope, the correct answer is none of the above---turned sharp right over Hagerstown MD and is now heading southwest.

Article in CBC says airline tickets out of Russia are off the charts sold out and expensive.
One way Coach to Dubai are $12k etc.. Not many countries open to flights due to embargoes.
Seems many of the supposed conscripts are headed out as well.. They are saying Thanks but No Thanks

1445 HAWK-31 flight on ZNY 282.300 will RTB Barnes to FL330 via Deerpark.

GRIMs, possibly 01 and 02, talking on 270.6 at 3:05 pm EDT about landing on runway 21 at Fort Drum in the clip below. Presumably B-52s.

Either B-52’s or F22’s from Langley. Just heard them checking in with Boston Center on 323.0

1630- Rhody 31 & 36 (RI ANG C-130Js) transiting our area heading northeast. Hearing them on 376.575.

Either B-52’s or F22’s from Langley. Just heard them checking in with Boston Center on 323.0

They talk about landing with 4600 pounds of gas, must be fighters, not B-52s as I had thought from the callsign. They mention Fort Worth, could they be F-35s?

They sound like fighter pilots to me. I kind of doubt a B-52 would be taking a high speed exit.

Actually, I think a B-52 would normally take the high speed exit at Delta if able when landing runway 21. But, I agree, those sound like fighters with the fuel figures mentioned.

Hearing some A2A on 259.00 MHz - unident aircraft with chatter about early picks in the NFL season, sounds like one of the pilots is a Dolphins fan

Interesting long tanker flight track for PACK-94 tanker #18-46051 out and back to Pease just now.
Dropped down near Louisiana and westbound like that till West Texas then flying high back home.
Blue Angels are at Miramar airshow this coming weekend. Maybe them westbound from Pensacola?

1815- NOBLEs requesting an immediate descend ZNY 353.75 for a TOI, fighter just spotted by a friend of mine over northern Monmouth County.
1830- NOBLE complaining to Huntress it took too long to get ATC approval to step down the altitude

Seems extra busy for mil helo activity tonight. I went to check on USCG assets from ACY and then just did a quick scan of CONUS to see what's up.

Checking LiveATC the GRIM 1 flight landed at Burlington/KBTV. ID’d by Tower as F-35s. Sounded like a flight of 2. Perhaps the Ft. Drum discussion pertained to their alternate if they couldn’t make KBTV ? No hints as to whether they were on delivery or BTV based VT ANG ?

At the same time the F-35s we’re passing through ZBW 282.200 there was a SLAM 1 working an intercept, the controller warned them not to enter Canadian airspace, then handed them off to Huntress 260.900. There was also what sounded like BARON 1 that seemed to be part of the same exercise, mentioned something about going to Sherbrooke/YSC. Both RTB to Barnes/KBAF, so presumably F-15s.

Anyone know what the callsign of the CAP tanker, 60-0315, was using? They were on station from about 1330-1745 Zulu today.

Actually listening again the BARON 1 sounded like it was a prop/turboprop. Maybe the aircraft SLAM 1 was doing intercept practice on ?

Thanks.

I think it was probably a delivery flight coming from FTW. I believe you are right, the Fort Drum brief must have been if the projected BTV landing fuel dropped below 4000 pounds from listening to the clip. Are the pilots' callsigns FOAM and GRIMACE in the clip?

From the pilots' comments, sounds like the F-35 software is still very much in the user beta test phase after years of delay and billions of dollars of cost overruns.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you...
