ROMA-83 #86-0033 and ROMA-93 #82-0192

0330 local ROMA-81 KC-10 #79-1950 coming NE from Travis at FL250.
Maybe dragging Hill AFB Utah 388th FW F-35A's? Reported callsign with ROMA-81 is Trend-31 flight.
There was a ROMA-91 #86-0028 off Travis to Utah behind ROMA-81 but not seeing it on adsbx now.Maybe landed Utah.

ROMA 91 is currently over northern Vermont, heading for Bangor? --
ROMA 81 on the ground at Bangor per ADSB Exchange --

 

[bruinsaviator]

At least 10x HL F35s are on the ground at BTV. I noticed ROMA81/91 brought these guys over, but ROMA83/93 repositioned to BGR on Super Bowl Sunday.

 

[mdmonitor]

Guys,

A different view of the T-Birds

 

[Mark]

Those Hill F35s sure got early start departing around 1am their time just to get to Vermont.
Wonder if there was late change of plans.

 

[RaleighGuy]

82-8000 and 09-0017 departed ADW following each other to the NW, no travel scheduled today may be training at Dover. Also Special Ops alert C-32 departed NJ 00-9001 AE0443.

SECDEF heads to Europe tomorrow. Unknown if that’ll be on an E-4B or a C-32A.

SECDEF on the way to Brussels in the light twin as SAM 141.

 

[AirScan]

PICO 98 westbound. Positioning back to LTS after CAP duties (used the same callsign eastbound) ? Down at FL260 seems like they might be set up for dragging someone ? Further evidence that PICO has replaced the SPUR callsign ?

 

[AirScan]

MAINE 85 working with MA ANG F-15s DEMON 1 and MONSTA 1 in Viper. 226.300, 264.850, 276.500.

 

[wbagley]

E-4B LOKI (not LOKIE this time) 82 out of Dyess AFB possibly headed back to Andrews with a strong Northstar data signal burning once again on 272.325 MHz. Some digital modes on the sidebands/subcarriers and some clear voice heard.

Oh wait, he forgot his sandwiches, now turning back west, maybe going to Wright-Patt AFB.
