Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[GriffissSpotter]

There were 3 PACK flights working AR80(e) this morning - maybe there was an AAR?. They turned north over Nova Scotia, then back west into NY State. I heard them working on 244.500 early afternoon.

Around approximately 12:10 I saw a tanker with 3 fighter jets flyover Westmoreland, NY, didn’t have my phone or scanner to see what they were. They’re could’ve been more that I didn’t see due to cloud cover.

Yea, cloud cover has been annoying here today for any pics. I had two 135s go over the top here but the clouds gave no openings for clean shots.

There was a odd AR-80E Res earlier today 1600z-1700z. Was wondering who that was for.

GOLD-32 KC-46A #18-46084 Eastbound from McConnell. Maybe for those F-15E's later this week? Dropping into Pease?
Looks like earlier a GOLD-21 KC-135 TN ANG #57-2597 was also into Pease.

Possibly another GOLD inbound from Wisconsin KC-135 #58-0009 not showing callsign.
Sure seems like a Monday morn departure for all.

Checking the LiveATC archives PACK 81-82-83 were cleared into Tupper South and Lowville MOAs FL240-FL260, they didn’t appear to AR with anyone, so I’m guessing some exercise with Fort Drum JTAC if you heard them on 244.500.

GOLD 94 westbound with MAZDA 41 (x3) that also departed BGR. On Clearance Delivery the fighters were cleared to destination (not specified) via ALTRV Coronet East 010. Sounded like (?) the tankers said the fighters were F-18s. Looks like they split off around Milwaukee.

Sounds like those 3 EA/18G Growlers that came in from Europe.Was supposed to be 6 of them in two groups.
Prob on their way back to Whidbey NAS.

58-0009 was GOLD 31. GOLD lineup so far. Missing is K35R GOLD 22 ?
