Congrats Colorado! Surprising some large pop States have not all that many posts like New York and Florida.
Maryland close second to Col but our Milair posts keep us in the top 3.
Probably largest views is Maryland Sticky Milair thread at 43,000+ views as we have
good group of Mil listeners and lots of area Mil bases to hear.
Good job out there!

Yes indeed the Maryland, Virgina, Wash DC area is great mil air monitoring I agree.

But Ft Carson, Pete, Buckley and Warren ain't too bad either.

Erik is your source for Mil Air Freqs in this area and remember search is your friend also.

Colorado gets lots of transient Naval F-18's going cross-country from Lemoore Cal
and to Norfolk NAS. A UHF scanner a must for them.
Last night here had a JOSA 511 C-21 (Peterson) arriving Andrews and gave dep Message
that he would rtb Peterson 1930z after stop in Manhatten Kansas.

There was a time a couple of years ago when I heard similar statements in the Maryland area, i.e., that we were just too far away from the action to hear very much. That was before we started posting what we heard and shared frequencies with each other here on RR. The posted logs and discussion on the Maryland thread brought many people out of the woodwork that were listening to MilAir on their own and had no idea others might be interested. Then, we found people trading their scanners or adding scanners that had MilAir capabilites - the 225-400 mHz range and 138-144 mHz in AM mode primarily.

The bottom line is that it's entirely different world of listening opportunity for those interested in scanning and one that has caught the imagination of many people in our area. I'd bet that if you started a MilAir thread here in the Colorado forum, you'd soon have a developed list of frequencies and see interest grow. I'd also bet there is a whole lot more MilAir to listen to than you suspect. Good luck with the effort if you take it on.

We do get a lot of transient aircraft from all over flying into Buckley AFB, and Centennial who do not want to bother with the AFB. We also get a lot of aircraft flying over Colorado. The B-2's are always sight seeing over Colorado en route to the range in Nevada. Unless aircraft flies into Peterson from the north we don't hear much either unless they call the command post in the air reporting their inbound status or takeoff time. And Warren is a base without a runway. Every once and a blue moon you might catch an E-6B doing comm checks with them.

But monitoring any of the MOA activity here is not the best. The closest MOA to the south of us is in the middle of some mountains, so until the jets pop up over 20K feet... We don't hear much. And the MOA to the East is to far East to monitor.

Buckley was supposed to have an Open House this summer, but Aurora Shot it down because they didn't want to deal with the traffic.

Well I guess some is better then none. :D

If anyone want Mil Air freqs for Colorado, send me a PM =)
