Had a high Flyer passing thru this afternoon 1520 local HORNET 71
on ZDC Ultra High 353.950. Good freq for higher altitude 35K plus Mil types passing thru.
He was given 41.450 as next freq assume 341.450 but not sure.
Came back no joy on that freq but lost him after that..
Got lucky on flightaware as they had him as unknown F18S to NH.

Maybe a USMC fleet replacement Hornet as been some carrier activity off Maine lately
with RG01 C-2A 162159 up and back that way yesterday from Norfolk NAS.
HORNET ## is usually Boeing F/18 delivery callsign and this one did come from Midwest earlier.

Day trip for POTUS on Monday Jan 14th. He will depart JBA in the 9:00AM EST hour and return around 4:30PM EST, landing in Kenner Louisiana about 11am for noon speech.

sorry, dont do much mil air scanning. is there a set of freqs for POTUS? would like to begin scanning those in their own bank, if so. sorry as i am sure this is a green horn question.

Lajes is only about 4+ hour hop westbound so expect them coming down coast sometime around after lunch time local.

First wave must have gone by already this morning.
BLUE 81 into McGuire from Lajes 1530z and BLUE 83 KC-135 NH ANG dragged
them South at FL170. No Coms heard here.

Bit OT but seems the Vermont ANG is ending their F-16 missions soon
but will be picking up the F-35 in September..
Always thought the Green Mountain Boys had the sharpest looking F-16's but hopefully
will hear the 134th FS "MAPLE ##" callsign around here in the Fall with the new F-35.
They often had an Alert detachment at Andrews after 9/11 for scrambles and will be the first ANG unit with
the F-35.

Nice list - I see that your information indicates that you use a Diamond Discone in your attic. I do the same. I generally monitor public safety frequencies, but I've been expanding a bit - how does the attic antenna work for Mil Air monitoring.

In my case it works quite well. My attic is about 20 ft above the ground.

In VHF ranges I have about a 400 mile radio horizon (if acft above 10,000 ft) & at UHF freqs about 200 miles.

On ADS-B I picked up a new one out of HGR yesterday, AE4C1F. I had an incomplete track so using this one instead -

Saw that as well with mode s 100729. Listed so far as MC-12S 10-00729 ex MC-12W.
Found on Joe B's tail page. Those ex USAF MC-12W Liberty types went everywhere it seems but mostly US Army.
