E-6B SLOTH 92 will head out over the Atlantic for a few hours and do some TACAMO stuff (presumably on 17.8 kHz) before recovering at Navy Pax River later this evening.

A couple of screenshots of SLOTH 92's Atlantic TACAMO work on 17.8 kHz.

An article about the re-opening of the National Cryptologic Museum across the street from NSA headquarters at Ft. Meade, Maryland.

U.S. Has Made 'Dramatic Change' in Technology Used for Nuclear Code System (newsncr.com)

The 'baseball cards' with nuke codes mentioned in the article have been around at least since the 1970s. They are like lottery tickets, tamper-evident and conceal the contents until broken open.

Thanks mdmonitor for your service.

I visited the museum in 2018; lots of equipment to see, well worth the trip. I bought an NSA hat with logo, NSA pen & small notebook, and Tshirt.

Looks like the E-6 was SLOTH 92 passing near New York City.

Here's a link from our friend Isaac P. to spot the E-6s:

The RUMMYs are on the way to March ARB in California for the first stop. They are talking air to air on 239.4.

One of the planes has a bad HF radio, wants to swap some parts with the other aircraft on the ground at March for troubleshooting.

This morning RUMMY-74 #58-0010 departed ADW and heading direct Hawaii.. Spare replacement?
