The recent entries for ZDC in the NFDD got me thinking...

Does anybody have info on the possibility of tours at ZDC Leesburg and/or Potomac TRACON Warrenton? Thanks in advance!
I have toured both, but the tours were arranged by a young friend who was an intern there…through an older guy whose duties included giving tours. Neither ts there any longer and I have no connections any longer. We had just a few people in the tour, but we joined a larger group that included air traffic folks from Europe. I’d suggest calling and asking.

Further info, I especially like the image of the updated cockpit layout --


Our First Look At What Fully Upgraded B-52 Bombers Will Look Like
Long wait till active.Said maybe by end of this decade.. Prob have new B-21's up and about before then.
Big rollout for it is Dec 2.

2058 local There was Res on AR-20NE tonight and seems for REALM-12 KC-135 #59-1483 out of Bangor and it is at FL250 so
seems to be tanking someone up there headed Northeast over Halifax.
REALM-12 says ok on reply from Moncton that Gander will be ready for you and the breakup.
REALM-12 is KC-135 from Ohio ANG and arrived Bangor last night.Was a CLEAN-25 last week in and out of Europe.

2125 local Gander radio just said watch out for a KC-135 and 3 B-52's :)
Must be for that NATO drill in Europe and 2 Buffs out of Barksdale.
Callsign for Buffs sounds like ROUND-12 and cleared to 46N/ 61W when you are ready to climb up.
Sounds like ROUND-11,12 moving on and ROUND-13 will rtb.Confusing ROUND-11 flight moving on.
STORM-13 now cleared back to KBAD with Moncton Ctr after clearing Marsa with REALM-12,
Must have been what was heard earlier by Jetwash.
Listening to: Gander Center 133.150 | St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada | LiveATC.net

363.0 was correct. Thanka for catching my typo!
Nice catch on those two B-52's STORM.. Up at Gander they were ROUND-11,12 but airspare became STORM-13.
Will be heading back to Barksdale tonight as STORM-13. Funny as NATO said BUFFs were gonna be from Minot
and still could be Minot Buffs as they like to trade departing bases on missions once in a while. Keeps folks guessing.
May catch him back thru here later tonight or sometimes depending on wx will do RTB via Upstate NY and NW Pa and then
back South to Barksdale.

I never heard ROUND, to me it sounded like she was saying REALM. She did say REALM 11 once but might have confused the callsign momentarily on initial contact with STORM 11 is my guess. Doesn’t seem likely they would change callsigns mid flight like that. For the Euro guys STORM 11-12 oceanic exit point is via ATSIX-AKIVO.

Mess of KC-135's up out of Fairchild this morning some headed East over Montana.
Minot AFB scramble or maybe just a local 2am exercise for them?
