Going down a little early, I see. TFR isn’t scheduled until Dec 27. I guess if they have to be away from their families for XMas, they’d rather be in the Caribbean than in cold wet tidewater VA.

Around 11:00E saw Maine85 doing the racetrack just below the eastern tip LI.

JOLLY11 flying less than 500' above a point in no particular pattern off the south shore of LI, was joined a little while ago by JOLLY12 who seems to be generally following him. Don't see any ships in the area - just training or an SAR situation?

Guys
Before all the crazy stuff breaks out, I just want to wish everyone a very happy & safe Holiday Season.
It's been a pleasure this year exchanging information with such a fine group of knowledgeable hobbyists.

Yes you nailed it. NJ ANG was out in W-105 about 90 miles east of AC. KILLER, DEVIL, DEMON, and SATAN callsigns. I made a little 16 min. video of the recordings from my location in Ct.
Yes training. Came up with Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound on Marine Ch. 12 requesting them to take their radio guard. Doing gunnery exercises out there.

Thanks!
With work I've missed a lot on here so forgive me if this was posted, that said there has been nothing official from the White House.
The eight F-15Cs were accompanied from LFI by 01-0193 as RCH4547.
I just considered the possibility that their trip to PR was early so that they can get everything set up and then be granted permission to fly (commercial) home for Christmas. That way when they come back on the 26th they'll be ready to fly. Otherwise, they'd have to fly down on Christmas Eve or Christmas in order to be ready to fly by the 27th.
Looking at ACARS, I guess the 2x KC-135s went into St. Croix. Are they staying to support the CAP orbits? Are two tankers enough or will additional tankers (maybe from MacDill) go down too?

Wouldn't surprise me if some MacDill tankers assisted down that way but those two KC-135's could do the job.
Yeah sure is a lot of C-17's back and forth from almost everywhere.
Charleston AFB will start out the first week of the new year with massive C-17 flyover.. Hopefully wx cooperates.Lots of pics taken

Another Fairchild KC-135 #62-3509 coming SE on course for MacDill Florida.. Maybe a spare.. ACARS says KMCF.

Whiteman AFB’s only runway reopens after B-2 bomber accident
Having a functioning runway again means the base can resume flying its A-10C attack planes and T-38 training jets.

I guess they will build these Sikorsky choppers up in Stratford Connecticut as well? Early test models were built in Sikorsky Fla.
Crank them out..
