Flight of B-1 Lancers returned home to the US today. After crossing the Atlantic, they were refueled by tankers over Nova Scotia, and then proceeded towards Massachusetts Bay. While en route, their flight plan had to be adjusted. Here's the audio of the Boston Center controller giving them their new routing. Audio is courtesy of liveatc.net.
And here's the flight plan on a map: RAMA41 flight plan SEY to DYS

Here's what it sounds like when you fly too close to the president
Whenever the president is in town, a restricted airspace is set up in the area. Often times, pilots of smaller planes don't check the current restrictions and end up inadvertently entering the restricted space. The US Air Force tracks all these planes, and will come up on the aviation emergency channel 121.5 MHz (known as 'VHF Guard') to warn them away from, or out of, the area. Quite a few planes have wandered into the airspace this afternoon. Here's a recording of the radio transmissions of them getting 'yelled at' by the Air Force:

Bank Robbery in Boston
The Citizen's Bank at 1628 Tremont Street was robbed just before noon this morning by a suspect who reportedly claimed he had an explosive device on him. The suspect received money after passing a note to the teller, and fled on foot towards Francis Street. A dye pack was given and police are reporting it did explode. The suspect is described as a black male wearing all black and a long black coat, who may be covered in bright red dye now. A man matching the description was stopped in Mission Park, and witnesses from the bank were brought to potentially identify him. The suspect's note was located by a Boston Police detail officer on St. Albans St.
UPDATE: Boston PD confirming they have the suspect in custody.

MSP STOP team called to Leominster
Leominster PD responded to a call involving a barricaded subject who might be armed this morning on Liberty Street, and requested Massachusetts State Police STOP team assistance. The subject, a 19 year old woman, was reported to be barricaded in the basement with access to a black powder rifle, a .22 rifle, and possibly a handgun. Police established a perimeter around the residence, and fire trucks and an ambulance staged nearby. Parts of the neighborhood were reported to be evacuated, and area roads were shut down. The stand off continued for about an hour before the woman was taken into custody without incident. After being evaluated by EMS, MSP turned the subject over to LPD.
