UTC 22 Jul 25:

0105z: NEW MOON (NCS) with test count.

An interesting day.

Two OPEN DOORs active at the same time; one TACAMO LANT and one
repositioning (twice during the UTC/CONUS day). Both launched from OFFUTT.

An E6B on a grand tour of the western states with major time spent over
Nevada (among other things, possibly refueled there).

Interesting EAM traffic.
