Just heard some weak comms to/from Mt WX, likely for the designated survivor's arrival.

My guess for CAP tanker tonight is SWATH01 57-1419 that departed Pease a little bit ago.

Some HMX-1 NIGHTHAWK air to air on 277.175 currently 32 and 33. Likely MV-22s, very clear radios.
1909- NIGHTHAWK31 flight of three calling MT WX reporting inbound from the south. 241.0
Keeping the pad lights off since they're wearing NVGs.

OMAHA DHS helo N6974A inbound to DC from Manassas.

1920- One NIGHTHAWK has turned back due to a maint issue.

 

[freqhopping]

CAP getting started on 260.9, 228.9 for boom
NIGHTHAWKs are swapping landing pads.
GUARD DOG comms on VHF for both tanker and jets (NOBLE01/02). 135.525
I can't hear HUNTRESS at all.
1950- NOBLE02 not on station yet.
Clear enough night I can see the strobes of SWATCH01 on its southbound leg.
NOBLE01 passed tail #as 86369, so likely 86-0369 F-16 from Andrews.
NOBLE02 IDed as 40310 but those number don't match to any F-16s regs.

 

[freqhopping]

NOBLE air to air is 139.45
FBI Cessna 560 is now up and beginning to orbit.

In the Incidents section of this forum, there is a posting about a Navy aircraft that may have "crashed" (more likely a precautionary landing) in the Blackwater Refuge area in Dorchester County. I haven't found any more info - has anyone else? The incident occurred on 04FEB. Thankfully, the crew were uninjured.
