1805 local Poseiden-1 on ground in Hawaii on ADSBX.So far so good
Some McGuire A/A 268.025. Not sure of KC-10's or KC-46's STEAM moving out also.
I think it is STEAM flights as mention lousy wx but should be clearing up at about 100 miles out.

US Air Force lays groundwork for major changes to bomber fleet

The Air Force is moving to a two-bomber fleet of B-21s and Cold War-era B-52s, and plans to retire B-1s and B-2s in the next decade.

McGuire KC-10’s in the refuel track over Raleigh

Been awhile since I’ve seen KC-10’s running this track.

C17’s/130’s doing drops near Bragg again. Started this afternoon and have flown over the house for at least the second time this evening.

Yeah I sense possible Potus Army-Navy Game drop in.. Or maybe First Lady anyway.WH probably thinking it over.
May be bad timing with Russia release/trade of US civilian but not the ex-US Marine prisoner. Could be lots of crowd Boos in Philly.
Philly likes to boo politicians anyway LOL I now sense Potus may skip this event..
