They were calling themselves ADVIC (add-vick) with RICK CONTROL 238.800 when they departed yesterday.

Makes you wonder sometimes if there are just simple typos that make all the changes.

Mission Brief:

Tankers to use the tactical callsign for the day of ADVIC
E when contacting Huntress or CAP fighters.

Okay who changed the text margins again ????

A little off topic, but THDR31 7CF8F3, an Australian E-7 Wedgetail, is flying down in the gulf of Mexico west of the Eglin range. I saw it all last week out west or south of the range . There was a different one flying out of NAS Fallon sometime last week too. I imagine we're getting some familiarization with it as we plan to purchase several to replace some aging E-3 Sentrys.

Rgr seen them from time to time flying around the US on ADSBX.
I think the USAF likes them but wants better gear like the recent Northrop Grumman array for the UK RAF Wedgetail variant.
Boeing may make the plane but Northrop makes the important gear :)
First Northrop Grumman MESA Sensor Installed for Royal Air Force E-7 Wedgetail Fleet | Northrop Grumman

Pensacola has their Navy training Texans out tonight for prob early night flying instrument training.
Instructors.."Don't look out the window. Look at your gauges" Many future Airline pilots here :)
Andrews KC-135 DEECEE-01 with most likely Wing Commander piloting also down Florida tonight.

Looks like new Army UH60 up in Conneticut (AE74B0) #22-21228 showing R21228.
Getting into the 7s on mode s now.
It’s actually a HH-60M Dustoff/Medevac Blackhawk. Very nice! Here it is about 3 weeks ago:

Is the trajectory:
Stratford Ct (for build/assembly of the airframe) then Lakehurst NJ (for assembly of service-specific additions)?
