1207L- Incoming aircraft on 242.4 "20 minutes out, apparently were picking up aircraft parts?" Kind of odd on that freq since its mainly used by local NG helicopters. Missed callsign. But I do see a PAT146 flight descending towards Lakehurst which is a NG hub. Now the 242.4 makes sense.
Just landed at Lakehurst.

Couple NATO A332 tankers MMF-31,32 inbound Pease from Lajes..
Wonder who they are dragging?

EDDIE-61 take the Blue Angels back to Pensacola?
I should have known when Fat Albert went to Oceana this morning something was up.
Looks like now EDDIE-61 was tanking with BRONZE-4 and BONDI-11 C-17s out of Charleston on AR-216.

Odd aircraft out of Pax River coming Northeast slow at 165 knots showing callsign GABLES with miscode hex (053977)
Kind of acts like a drone of some type.Now climbing up..
Now on ZDC 127.700 as WARLOK-6 and will continue climbing pushing over female to ZDC 133.900.
Says we will be airborne for several hours doing work around Point Billet? then back to Pax river.
Wonder if VXS-1 testing new aircraft.. pushing over to 125.450 ZDC Millville req FL-230.
Say will now do some figure Eights for a while.

1110- Over last couple of days I've heard unusual comms on 122.225, the freq that mark said was the PAX Warlocks. I hear the comms, but nothing is showing on ADS-B, which they normally do.

Yes I am mostly back after a few months of working (the kind they pay you money for) ----still more things to do but my schedule should be lighter now.

122.225 was briefed last week as a operational frequency for the aircraft / ground station using 337.900 from Pax River. I caught that last week (I forget which day (10/20 -> 10/22) but that freq was active.

Yes posted here by me Oct 20 :)

Pax river Warlok Ops 337.900 aircraft says we are now working 122.225. They did try 123.450
no joy.
1128 local Warlok comes up on 123.450 no joy.

122.225 was active again today with very strong clear signal and mention of Warlok callsign.
Va ANG 285.1500 A/A also very active now. Seems two jets doing low altitude work maybe over Ches or Del Bay.
Fat Albert just landed back at Pensacola so assume Blue Angels as well.

Twelve of them, staying overnight before departing to Mountain Home AFB taking part in Gunfighter Flag.
NAF 313, NAF 322 and NAF 323 flight.
Thanks for the ID on this flight guys. They must have used VHF freqs with ZBW inbound as I had no UHF ATC freqs logged from any of them. The SDR did catch the F-35s A-A on 379.375 at 1231pm local EDT/1631z talking about runway and conditions at BTV. I had logged them on that freq before in March of 2024. Glad I had the SDR running!

Bit off topic seems out San Fran way a huge rigid airship N125LT hit the Golden Gate bridge area today.
Funny comments on Reddit said thought might be a Zorin Industries ship 🤣
Supposedly the first rigid airship in 86 years since the Hindenburg..


Searched ADSB N125LT (A06751) from this morning and found it..
