Looks like the Air Force is having a little fun today with their E-4B doomsday planes.

I photographed Flash (31667) at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, I think back in 2014.

 They're burning a lot of jet A at those altitudes too.

I’ve noticed a ton of P3 traffic this week out here. Turns out there’s rather large exercise going in SW WA.

It's always nice to see a bit of whimsy from the military... almost encouraging really.

Usually it’s call signs like STLKR, or KILLR, or REAPR, or SKULL or stuff like that.

The most interesting thing I had flying over me the other day was a Navy E-6B TACAMO, SHADO01, going from Patuxent to Dyess. Not sure why the Navy headed to Oklahoma, but whatever...

Those show up on the ADS-B pretty regularly. I guess the Navy and AF share fields for training regularly. I got these shots of a P-8 while at Dyess. He came through for some touch-and-gos and then was on his way. I also watched an EA-6B take off late one afternoon. It was one of the loudest jets I’ve ever heard.

I spent time at Travis AFB years ago as an Air Force reservists and they had a couple of these stationed there and I watched them come and go. Beautiful aeroplanes. They drag out a long wire behind them and fly in circles and form a helical cone.

They need to put Culture Minds in charge of their call signs.
