Sticky Thread For MilAir VII (2012)

[wildbillx]

Freq, it looked like a C23. And it said army on the side. The helo and plane both took off and went North following the shore line.

I'm preparing for the Super Bowl CAP this weekend (wish I was actually close to Indy so I could hear some fedcom, but this will do) and need to check on some freqs. Obviously, the CAP will probably be 228.900 or 260.900, since those are the local Huntress RCOs, but I wanted to make sure I had boom freqs on hand in case they use them. I have the following from recent events nearby:

247.050
349.550

Can any of you guys add some other common CAP boom freqs?

Looking up 166016 (should be Tester-20) I came across this site with a bunch of pics from Patuxent NAS.

1758- SHADOW21 E-6B 163918 heading W west of Harrisburg, PA. 133.475

The 167th based at Martinsburg is to re-equip in 2014. The eleven C-5's currently assigned to it will be replaced by eight C-17's. This change was announced on Friday.

Looks like I may have logged the Global Hawk at Patuxent. Today AE17EC showed an ID of 166509. At one point it logged an altitude of 56700ft.

If anyone monitors DEA and Omaha a/c's I have a question. They were doing radio checks between base and other units on Net 1 (165.xxxx) this afternoon. I was only hearing the base unit calling individual stations, by name, real names. But I could not hear them. I thought this freq was a repeater because I usually hear both the base and a/c's. Is it normal to do simplex tests on a repeater freq?

Like the new tail logo.. Adds up as JA is tail code for VX-1 Pioneers NAS Patuxent River, Maryland.

Should read 165956?

Can anyone help with the (t) DUCE 51, ID for SCORE 74 and confirmation of VENUS 52 please?

Thanks!

[freqhopping]

Could VENUS52 have been VENUS02 (92-9000)? That's the only thing I have to match the time.

No KC-10s with a DUCE callsign today. Possibly 85-0030 showing TEAM55


1553- E-B 163920 is inbound to Pax and 164388 is leaving.

[CitationJet]

Don't think so - did not have that VC-25 xmtr sound, more like a C-32 this one. Thanks for checking!

Just had a UNID 41 up with ZDC-Marlinton 319.000 FL240 @ 1952Z. He's fading now so probably won't snag an ID. Sounded like TILEY or RILEY.
