A few from yesterday afternoon...
06.22.2007 pm
1933Z 120.100 IAD TWR East - GERMAN AIR FORCE 288 (C-160 50+38) - lands rwy 1R.
That C-160D (50+38) left yesterday around 1100 but no idea what direction he went.
There was another German Air Force C-160D in yesterday shortly after 1000 (tail 50+52)
Around 1000 yesterday, CANFORCE 3032 (CC-144 Challenger, tail 144614, 412 Squadron/8 Wing Ottawa) landed at Andrews. He left a couple of hours later shortly after 1200. I guess he left for home since he was later logged by an Ontario MilAir listener around 1400.
The highlight of the day though was a Brazilian Air Force KC-137 tanker (tail 2402) in the area last night around 2000. He was with ZDC and then I lost him so don't know if he landed at one of the area airports or just went through the area.
I didn't get much time for listening yesterday. While at the radios, I didn't hear much of anything other than the normal flights of transports into Andrews/Dover/McGuire along with the tax-dollar-wasting-VIP-special-flights (TDWVSF.)
[I need a better acronym than that for those flights.]
Almost forgot to mention this...that MERCURY 01 (E-6B from VQ-4) left Patuxent yesterday morning at 1000. He flew west for a bit through VA and then due north up through the WV panhandle and into PA and was gone.
