Langley aircraft evacuating/relocating to Grissom due to hurricane

[IndyRick]

Hi, all,

Just found out that Langley aircraft are being evacuated/relocated to Grissom due to hurricane Irene. 28 F-22's is the report I got an not sure what else. Slated to begin arriving this afternoon into this evening. Might make for some interesting monitoring for MilAir fans.

F-22s did go to Grissom as reported...but certainly not all of them. Each
flight went directly overhead Patterson, so I had visuals on several when clouds
weren't in the way.

In the descent, all of the flights split into pairs (or pairs and a single);
some of them changed to other aux freqs. All flights used 341.800 for Raptor Ops
(referenced by one flight as "Eagle Ops").

FIRST 11 (x4)
353.525 ZID > 317.625 ZID > 288.300 ZID (11)/360.775 ZID (13) > 379.300 GUS A/D
233.525 (Aux 21) and 262.025 (Aux 22)

The Newsmedia Reported (22) Aircraft went to Grissom as Reported,Also aircraft for Fed-x from the east coast went to Indianapolis International.

I logged 28; spotters at Langley said 28 F-22s got clearance to KGUS. None of the alert F-16s went there, though.

Thanks for the update.

They're leaving now - YODA 41 was the first flight off the deck.
