Wild ATC audio, a lost tail boom and live missiles turns into quite the story 👀

NOBLE42 (F-15E Mountain Home AFB) had a incident with WIDE12 (Boeing KC-46 17-46028) yesterday near Santa Barbara, California while refueling during a CAP (Combat Air Patrol) which was enforcing a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) during a POTUS stay. ATC audio (via @liveatc) gives a wild recount of a KC-46 that lost their boom and a F-15E that diverted to Fresno, CA with hydraulic problems only to break the emergency runway cable and divert to nearby NAS Lemoore as the KC-46 returned to Travis AFB.

2 months ago, a similar situation occurred over Europe with a KC-46 and a F-16

September 11th, 2001 - Boeing E-4B NAOC callsign ADDIS77 scrambled from Andrews AFB. While ATC was calling them “VENUS” which is a typical callsign used at Andrews, you can hear the urgency of the pilot wanting to get airborne. The E-4 orbited over Washington DC for a while…
Before continuing on to Offutt AFB in Omaha. This aircraft in the video is referred to as NEACP (National Emergency Airborne Command Post) This aircraft can serve as a flying WH/Pentagon if you will. Not knowing how the rest of the day was going to turn out…
The aircraft got airborne assuming for safety reasons (safer in air than on the ground) and if needed would have flown to pickup the President or next in the line of succession (Continuity of government). Some CNN footage about the day ADDIS77 orbited DC

🧵Since Aug 27th - The “Nuke sniffer” WC-135R (flying from Japan) and x2 RC-135S Cobra Balls (flying from Alaska) have been seen heading towards the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. A NOTAM has been in effect over the Kura Test Range which has been used for ICBM tests in the past. KC-135s have also been supporting these operations.
Some interesting news posted today by @nukestrat. While this may not mean that this particular sub is a participant related to the NOTAM above, it is of general interest.
Another interesting aircraft that has been seen recently is the Open Skies Tupolev Tu-214ON operating at low altitudes at the same time the WC-135R left Japan. They positioned to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on Aug 23rd. While this aircraft’s flight may not have anything to do with the NOTAM, it is still notable. You can read more about the Open Skies Tupolev here:

Today’s E-4B NAOC callsign giving a shout out to the 1988 film “Big” 😎 ImageImage
Callsigns in reference to 1980’s movies seem to be the theme this month for the E-4B NAOC “CHUNK85” in reference to the 1985 film “Goonies” and “MCFLY85” in reference to Marty McFly from the 1985 film “Back to the Future” 😊 ImageImageImageImage
The E-4B NAOC 1980’s movie themed callsigns continue today with GOZER84 in reference to Gozer (Sumerian shape-shifting god of destruction) who was the villain in the 1984 film Ghostbusters 👻 ImageImage
