Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[Mark]

Thanks, I had assumed they were F-35s. For some reason I was thinking the AV-8Bs had already been retired, but I see they are planning to fly them to 2030.

Yeah those noisy monsters will be around for a while.. saw that today

Mike can you add 141.550 FM ENC to your search list. We have been getting occasional short FM ENC P-25
coms on this freq which used to be Andrews VHF CP.
One poster here in Virginia said ID was NAC 293 and RID 1379041

It's not my list, it belongs to MdMonitor. I have just been getting it available where it is needed. Mike

would add to their rotation...

I'll add it to my list for the next quarterly update but until it's really identified, I'll carry is as "probable"

1524 Icer 41 & 42 air to air on 300.125

ICER 41 flight landed at Patterson early yesterday evening. Had them on A/A and also Patterson Dispatch 372.200. Asked if someone from base ops would step outside and take some photos of them landing. My guess is someone onboard grew up in the area.
