1x Polish AEW&C aircraft over Poland currently monitoring the eastern border.
Additionally, 1x NATO refueling aircraft was over Polish airspace supporting fighter jets, including at least one F-35, in the task of neutralizing Russian drones that have crossed the Polish border.

At around 4 AM PDT this morning, USAF B-2A Spirit TIGER11 communicated with Seattle Center ATC while traversing Washington airspace on its way back from Joint Base Elmendorf, AK to Whiteman AFB, MO. TIGER11 is one of two B-2As that flew up to Alaska two days ago.

DEATH11 + DEATH12, possible B-2A Spirit bombers heading northwest over Washington at 8 AM local time. A2A comms on 341.750, talking with Seattle Center sectors 32 and 03. DEATH11 heading to YZT, DEATH12 heading to Spokane.
DEATH11 might be heading to Alaska to join TIGER11 + 12.

A very kind gift from my dear friend @vcdgf555.bsky.social. A section of the exterior skin of a spare vertical stabilizer from SR-71A 61-7971; this aircraft flew in service w/ USAF from 1967 to early 1990, then w/ NASA from March 1990 to January 1995, then returning to USAF until retirement in 1997.

I don't know how current this slide is (the slideshow is dated 2012), but this has been one of my main references for a while.

In the air over the Gulf of Oman is ZP527, a S-100 Camcopter operated by the Royal Navy under the designation Peregrine. These have been flying here since at least August of last year. Stationed aboard the HMS Lancaster are two Peregrines: ZP527 and ZP526. #ADSB #002E61 #002E60

USAF WC-135R 64-14829 as COBRA29 flying over Washington on March 13. After years of following along with the Constant Phoenix program, it was nice to finally see one in person! #ADSB #AE037F

Some more shots of SSN-23 from yesterday. Really cool to see the way the water moves across the bow.

Photos of the missile fragments posted to Twitter by @qalaatalmudiq.bsky.social clearly shows the model number of R-9X.

US CENTCOM tweeted ~1hr ago a video dated Feb 23 showing an airstrike from the perspective of an MQ-9A Reaper over Idlib, Syria. The lack of explosion and resulting damage would suggest that this is (to my knowledge) the first footage of an R9X Hellfire in use.

Went to a beach across from the Everett Naval Station to look at ships today, saw a cormorant having a snack instead.

Platform Aerospace VA001 ultra long endurance UAV with callsign GZMO16 flying out of Al Udeid AB, QA. This is the first time I've seen N616VU, and the first time I can recall seeing a Vanilla Unmanned drone in Qatar. #ADSB #A806F6

General Atomics MQ-9B N479SG has been flying these arc patterns over the Yuma Test Center in New Mexico for the last four hours near a US CBP TARS aerostat. For 2 hours, it flew at 20,000ft versus the aerostat's 10,900ft. Then, it dropped down to 5,900ft.

This one? LM's TacIRST pod?

Fun times!

Brand new E-11A BACN as BACN08 departed from the Lockheed Martin hangars at Martin State Airport just outside Baltimore, heading west. The newest BACN was delivered to the US Air Force at the end of last month. It is possible that this is N808LP. H/t @srplanespotter.bsky.social #ADSB #AE77A5

Adding to this:
Here are the Watchkeepers that have been seen at Ft Bliss since July.

VALKYR22 is almost certainly WK022, which would be a new airframe that I have not seen before. The hex code matches with previously-identified WK025 with hex 43C809. Excellent spot by @borrowed7time.bsky.social.

Cool plane!

E-11A BACN 22-9047 is making the trip to NAS Sigonella from Robins AFB with callsign BLKWLF21. This is the first time this E-11A, the seventh in the fleet, is leaving the US after being delivered to the USAF in October 2023. #ADSB #AE77A4

As far as I can tell, BLKCAT is the callsign used by all of the MQ-4Cs flying out of Sigonella. 169602 has previously flown under the BLKCAT callsign, before heading to the Persian Gulf.
October 4, 2024 at 8:44 PM
USN MQ-4C 169602 with callsign FATCAT15 departed from Al-Dhafra AB, UAE a few minutes ago. 602 arrived at Al Dhafra on September 28th. This is its second visible flight since then, and its first with an actual callsign.
