1439L - AC-130J Ghostrider circling Fort Story out of KNTU Oceana at pivotal altitude 8725 in a left bank. About 28 circles. With all the special operations planes flying in to Oceana, something interesting’s happening. Anyone in VB catch anything?

Caught 02 on tape sounded like BEAR 02. Gave route ATR-LLUND-CAM then Burlington.
You have BEAR on your list as = BEAR T-38 53rd WEG, Tyndall AFB FL

Search says ATAC was replacing T-38's at Tyndall a few years ago.Maybe Langley took some of them.

I don't think the DM A-10's departed yet.. No CLEAN tankers logged today.
GOLD-71 KC-10 that came into Dover yesterday is going back home to Travis next so maybe another tanker wait.

I caught the two T-38's on ZNY 282.3 and only thing I kept hearing was "02".

Mark,

Langley T-38s usually use ADS-B ident as first & last letter of voice callsign, i.e. MN01 ident is Marlin 01 in voice. Callsign Bear 01 (BA02) doesn't seem to fit that

I did not, sorry!

The two Drago P-8 aircraft were heard today northbound, over the Florence SC area, on 246.9 A/A , as the earlier post noted.

1750-- looks like a Langley T-38 is making his way back to Langley from Burlington. ADS-B ident is RR01, so voice call should be Raster

1809- Just went over my QTH Ron. ZNY 307.275, again I can't make out the callsign other then "01" All I heard was XXXSTER 01 so you might be correct with RASTER.
Edit: Yup heard it clear this time RASTER.

NOTAM posted yesterday evening for KMDT Harrisburg shows that their ATC is apparently going deaf for 30 minutes on October 8 from 2030L to 2100L. But that's not the interesting thing. What caught my attention is that it affects...and shows...ALL their freqs, VHF and UHF.

VHF out of service will be 118.25 [per the FAA's FRQ_CSV file: Approach primary compass heading 001 degree to 79 degrees], 121.5, 121.7 [Ground primary], 124.1 [approach/departure primary 180 degrees to 309 degrees], 124.8 [tower primary], 126.45 [approach/departure primary 80 degrees to 179 degrees], and 128.075 [not listed. Spare?]

UHF out of service will be 243.0, 269.35 [per the FAA's FRQ_CSV file: tower primary], 269.45 [approach/departure primary 310 degrees to 79 degrees], 273.525 [approach/departure primary 211 degrees to 360 degrees], 281.525 [approach/departure primary 80 degrees to 179 degrees], 317.4 [not listed. Spare?], 348.6 [Ground primary].
