Was: N1RGR
TEAM-27 (KC-10A Tanker) working the AR212 track heard on 238.900
Seems first 3 Barksdale Buffs went over last night as STRAY 81-83.
Nothing thru here so assume Polar route but one was showing AE587D.
Reports one landed Faiford 0930z and the other two are onto Baltic mission
before they rtb Fairford. Supposedly 3 going more for later tonight.
Looking back at my logs I have got some B-52 air to air traffic on 228.275 & 256.275 in the past.
There are literally hundreds of frequencies you really need to be monitoring in order to catch the radio traffic. .
Scramble has blurb that next wave of Buffs will be later Friday morning than first wave.
I still don't see any Ctr Altrav tanker Res anywhere from Michigan to Miami.
Guess they are not posting these guys.
118.500 - "WARRIOR ####" (?) conversation with Hanscom Tower requested ILS and full stop.
123.450 - Distant conversation with only one side heard. Listed online as either CT ARNG Fury Ops or MA ARNG Helo Tac. Gave out a Maryland phone #.
The boys from Barnes Mass have been going out to W-105 every night this week for dogfights using Footrope as control! Starting with Giant Killer with the airspace approval at about 18:45 local. Unusual for them to go out every night of the week. Usually only hear them at night once a week at best. Not home tonight to post the frequencies but all was recorded and I'll update tomorrow. Heasds up Friday night at 1845 local!
