New England MilAir logs & recordings

[ka3jjz]

It's not so uncommon to hear foreign air forces doing training and practicing here in the States (although given the German's sensitivity to WW2 issues, you would think that the name of their air force would have changed...).

Were they here in New England? Or did you just hear them from Germany? And what state are you from?

I'm just outside of Boston. They were passing through, not sure if they're transporting a VIP, or heading to some training, or who knows? So far today we've had the Belgian AF and British Royal Air Force come through New England.

Logs from 14SEP. Some refueling, lots of AMC flights, some spooky C-130's, Belgians, Brits, a call on UHF LOS that was probably meant for SATCOM, and a mystery plane. Military logs, 14 September | AlertNewEngland

Thats interesting,is there a certain set of freqs that they (foreign air forces) use here in the states,New England to be exact? Or does it always differ?

They use the same air traffic control frequencies as everyone else does.

After a couple days off, I'm back with the logs for 18SEP. B-1's, B-52, F-15's, F-16's, an F-18, and others. Lots of audio of the F-16's practicing intercepting fighters: Military logs, 15th September | AlertNewEngland

Nice website! I'll try and log some of my catches from RI on here as well.

Looks good, those graphics are neat.

Thanks! Here's the Thursday edition, complete with a MA ANG F-15 headed to Georgia, a B-1, and a rare Aussie C-17. Unfortunately I didn't catch the LN F-15's that the BOBBY's were up to refuel.

I don't monitor MilAir, but FWIW, walking out the door at around 1500z ish I saw -and heard the roar - (4) F-15's(?) headed due North toward Hartford, CT (KHFD) with nice contrails.

Sound familiar?

 

[AlertNewEngland]

Yup, had the RAGE flight of F-15's from Barnes heading towards Hartford right about then.

Logs from January 25th. Includes some audio of Spang A-10's splitting from their tanker just off Nantucket.

Lots of activity (for a Saturday), but I didn't pick up much on the radio here. Logs for January 26th: Air Logs, 26JAN2013 | AlertNewEngland

 

[AlertNewEngland]

Combined the 27th and 28th into one mega-log. Includes audio and a photo for 6 F-22's that came into Pease on Sunday and left this morning. Air Logs, 27-28JAN2013 | AlertNewEngland

 

[AlertNewEngland]

Logs for the 29th. Not as busy as it has been, but still a lot of activity. Air Logs, 29JAN2013 | AlertNewEngland

 

[AlertNewEngland]

Been working on a new format for the logs, so I missed a couple days. Here's the new ones covering the last day or so. Picked up a Saudi AF flight, some Swedes, and the Luftwaffe. Air Logs, 03-04FEB2013 | AlertNewEngland

 

[Rt169Radio]

Do you post the milair freqs where you heard all these aircraft?

 

[AlertNewEngland]

Usually, yes, there is a 'remarks' field all the way on the right where I'll note that. I pick up more on Mode S than I do on the radio, though, so many of them won't have a frequency listed.

Here's today's version covering 04FEB, I've highlighted in red everything that was picked up on the scanners:
Air Logs, 04FEB2013 | AlertNewEngland

Highlights are probably Israelis, Swedes, a flight of RAIDER KC-130's, and a 'FEST' plane doing some training (it's not everyday you hear a 757 refueling mid-air).
