Guys,

1130 EDT--Blue 85 (KC-10 # 85-0028) departed McGuire and is heading south over DE/MD/VA eastern coast.
1200 EDT- Looks like two Pakistani AF C-130s (PAAF 232 & PAAF 234) departed Dover AFB and are heading west. Currently passing over Baltimore at FL170.

Red Flag 16-4 Nellis finished up yesterday so some Pakistan assets and RAF Lakenheath
F-15Es from 492FS heading East prob by Monday.Another McGuire KC-10 84-0186 into Nellis 1805z showing as TEAM45 but prob also a BLUE tanker.A dozen LN F-15E's at Red Flag so will be a few more BLUE tankers involved..
Israeli tankers went West as well the last couple days.
Also a half dozen Spanish AF F/18's or EF/18Ms as they call them and some UAE F-16's as well.

Guys,

Looks like Crook 40 is up again today. ADS-B showing him orbiting at FL160 east of Chambersburg PA

Also looks like CG is doing some sort of search in the Delaware Bay. ADS-B showing CG 2003 (C-130J # 2003) has been circling over the Delaware Bay at around 9-10,000 ft for most of the morning. Also have seen a CG MH-65 active out of CGAS Atlantic City.

BLUE 85 back to McGuire late this afternoon,dragged someone off to slight Southeast
so assume LN F-15E's to Seymour Johnson or Shaw F-16's.

Guys,

Looks like GA ANG C130 (Dawg 48) went into Martin State this morning then made quick turn around and has departed Martin State and is heading northeast off the NJ coast.

Maybe this acft is supporting the upcoming deployment of A-10s from Martin State?

Had WARLOCK 2 go over my location at 1,600 ft. (USN P3 Orion 1589120) No comms heard but had him on ADS-B. Then went north up the Hudson River. Looks like he came out of PAX.

1240 EDT- CG Sector Maryland-w/CG Barque Eagle (WIX 327 New London, CT) on CG discrete (157.05) establishing radio guard.


Note: The Eagle is undergoing a multi-year project to extend Eagle's service life. So as a result America's Tall Ship, along with its crew and their families, are based in the Baltimore area while we perform this work.

4 Fighters reportedly went into Chambers/Oceana?

Yup! They were Spain F/18's from Red Flag.. Back off again today 0915am this morning
meeting BLUE 85 85-0028.. Hard to copy that accent but were AME 1217-1220 flight of 4.
BLUE 85 last logged Nova Scotia 1438z so not sure they crossed or just got to Bangor.
Still a couple more F/18's I believe coming from Red Flag sometime.
