Sticky Thread For MilAir IV

I see the F-35B has made its way to Pax River for testing in case someone catches
some odd callsigns here.

Lockheed Martin F-35B Flies To Maryland Test Site, Prepares For Vertical Landings | Lockheed Martin

0610 local REACH 453 C-5M 86-0025 departed Dover.Those few C-5M's out
of Dover have been running around the clock between here and Middle East.
Looks like a winner so far as Heavies go.
