I'm not positive, but 800 MPH is supersonic at any altitude (the speed of sound goes down as altitude goes up).
Thanks

Perhaps a functional engine check.

I wasn't able to listen live but checking the ZBW archives there was Langley/KLFI F-22s RAPTOR 1, Barnes/KBAF F-15s RAMBO 1 as well as Burlington/KBTV F-35s POLECAT 1, SPRUCE 11 (x4), LINCOLN 21, STROKE 31 (x3). All working Viper/Lighting at the same time.
First time I've heard KBTV F-35s use 1 digit in their callsign (POLECAT 1), usually they use 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x etc. Maybe indicative of their mission as they are not usually working with F-22s and F-15s at the same time either ?
The fastest I saw them on ADSB-X was grounding 786 knots (904 mph). Mach 1 at 37000 feet (ISA -56C) is around 574 knots (660 mph). Looking at the upper winds they were getting a good push in that direction so it's not inconceivable they were still under Mach 1 (True Air Speed). Not sure what the rules are for going supersonic in that area ?
RAMBO 1 was a flight of 2.

Notice again this morning PACK-93 #18-46050 flying out of Copenhagen tanking fighters off East Coast of the UK..
Viper/Lightning and the Ft. Drum Range are all showing active again today (13:15 - 16:00 EST). I won't be able to listen live. Any reports appreciated.

Guys,
The other day I asked a listener down in FL about A2A freqs for the NAS JAX P-8s. Since we get some up our way thought that they might be using discrete A2A freqs when there are a couple of them in our area like the other day.
Here's what he sent:
Mostly they use the common air-air's:
246.800
246.900
303.000
And on occasion they will use 285.000.
It might be worth checking their base ops freqs just in case:
264.200
271.400
306.000 VP-30

US Air Force to receive air tractors for strike missions
The U.S. Air Force plans to receive Sky Warden strike aircraft which was developed on Air Tractor's AT-802U platform. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall selected Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, Oklahoma, as the sole candidate location to replace its MC-12 Liberty with the AT-802U Sky...

I know the technology is way different but I can't help but think that it looks like it is from WWII

1010- Flt of three McGuire KC-46s (Duce 15, Duce 16 & Cando 01) heading north. Currently over Albany NY. Maybe heading for Viper/Lightning or Ft Drum.
1015- Vinyl 23 (KC-46 # 15-46070) off McGuire heading west. Vinyl callsign usually denotes POTUS support flt.
1025- Maybe NJ ANG F-16s out in W107. Hearing ACM chat on 294.725 & 339.725. No calls noted

Supersonic Flight | Federal Aviation Administration
Background The Supersonic Transport (SST) Concorde aircraft was introduced in the early 1970s. At that time, many in the aviation community thought that the time had arrived for regular supersonic air travel for passengers. However, the Concorde was retired nearly two decades ago because of the high

Sonic boom is an impulsive noise similar to thunder. It is caused by an object moving faster than sound -- about 750 miles per hour at sea level.

NYS DMNA: Military Aircraft Flights Over the Adirondack Park Region
This page provides information for those concerned with airplane flights over the Adirondack Park

[lucy you've got some splainin to do] -- its Mach 1.3
Looks like this area is part of the Adirondack Park training area.
While other literature says there is another High Altitude Supersonic Corridor -- like that over Edwards -- there is no firm documentation that shows this area is such. Now the FAA rules do not apply to above FL600, AF policy should to some degree.
The DMNA site looks like a platform to "snitch" at.

It's certainly not like San Diego at our place today --
Twitter shutting down aircraft tracking sites, started with Jack Sweeney's ElonJet yesterday morning, then his personal account, now ADSB Exchange is gone. New updated rules also announced.

Probably AUTEC? I posted some logs a couple weeks back from my trip this summer. Lots of P-8s do their live drops there.
