OT but was just thinking Elon Musk could solve his aircraft tracking problem by buying or leasing from a private jet company.
Heck he could probably buy Netjets outright.. Lots of LLC Reg Bank jets that nobody can tell who is using it.
Lots of nice Custom jets to choose from and so many tails nobody will know for sure who is on it. Thats how the Feds do it

2025 local Heard some coms NIGHTHAWK-3,4 on HMX-1 143.825 FM loud here and see N11PP also coming North along rte 40/I-95
2040 DSP Chopper N2SP up off Summit airport moving towards KILG

Actually NetJets probably not a good option - a lot of the fixed call signs are used by the same companies or people. Or they were before I typed this message. LOL

1027 local BOUNCER-1 calling "Huntress on secondary" 228.900 for radio check.
1032 BOUNCER-1 Coast Guard helo just overflew my QTH at about 1200 feet Southwest bound headed toward Phillips AAF.
Maybe was parked at KILG?

Great shots. When I was working and actually in the office (before the remote days). The approach to 01 was just off angle a bit from our front door. Would just stand on the front steps and wait for a couple of minutes. Quigley Blvd Industrial Park behind the Post Office. Will have to dig up the photos.

Ah! For that approach I use the car/truck rental lot behind the Burger King The photos from Friday were from the intersection of Churchmans and Airport roads.

VIP Movement Summary (does not include POTUS, VPOTUS, FLOTUS travel)

DATE: 17 Dec


SAM 908 (C-37 # 99-0404) ADW-Langley AFB VA???

Camp Peary.

NOBLE-11,12 taking the CAP soon but NOBLE-11 scratched on the ground so only NOBLE-12 showed.
NOBLE-02 will rtb Langley and and NOBLE-01 will work CAP with NOBLE-12 #84-0027
Prob have another replacement tail later.I think 12 hour shift for NOBLE-01 would be a bit much.
They are staying on A/A 263.200 chatting how NOBLE-11 aborted takeoff due to hot brake indicator.

 

[Hbright]

Heads up: POTUS and family going to USVI later this month. Expect Oregon’s F-15s will reposition down there for CAP, just like what happened last year when POTUS was scheduled to go to PR before he cancelled. If I remember correctly, the fighters still went down for flights even without the CAP duties.

Guessing an H-65 will forward deploy to the island from Air Station Borinquen for BOUNCER and HUNTSMAN duties. Probably also an MSST small boat team too from the main land.

Nice 21 a KC46A from Pease was on station and were not on ADSB. When RTB they showed up enroute back to Pease. The KC135 this morning was from Bangor, ME.

The far North getting busier these days..
UK Defence Journal on Twitter: "The UK Defence Journal understands that Typhoon jets will be deploying to the Arctic next week for what is intended to be a secret escort mission involving a cargo aircraft. https://t.co/9rcPOOEnCW" / Twitter

I’m not super familiar with UK Defense Journal, but this appears to be a joke, reference the upcoming holiday involving a supersonic, around the world transport flight.

Could be for the remaining 5 NAF F-16's working their way back to the Netherlands from Lakeland Fla.
First group also did Lajes on first leg last week.. Second wave scratched due to tanker problems so look for a tanker RCH-84 possibly.
Scroll back thru posts here the last 10 days for more info.

Ah! For that approach I use the car/truck rental lot behind the Burger King The photos from Friday were from the intersection of Churchmans and Airport roads.

Yep - know the spot. It was easier for me - they paid me to work there and I got to see a bunch of stuff while getting paid.
And yes - I had a radio setup at the work location. Discone mounted outside - 200 feet of LMR 400 to my office in the front of the building.
