I am in Onslow County, N.C.
Does any one know what was going on around 4:10 pm local Thurs on 121.5 ?
Heard Challis calling "... this is Air Force...", "...unidentified aircraft at coord: 3420n/07526w..."
Responding unit not heard here. Apparently ID'd with location of 3425/07525,
USCG 2006.
2006 informed by Challis "... two fighters inbound yr location - 16 miles out..."
Now all units switch to 228.9 and joined by Huntress.
Then Pitman ( ? fighters ) up with Challis ( am able to hear some of Pitman's comms)
Challis with Pitman = Pitman 531 & 532 inform that "... it is a C130, white with orange...".
Comms with Huntress, Challis, Pitman and CG continue -
mention of " SD ", " surface to 15,000 ".
Other freqs mentioned/used - 139.7 & 291.6
On 291.6 mention of "...Giant Killer aware..."
4:17 pm ="...Pitman RTB..."
This was heard on a Pro 97 with an RH77CA, Diamond 15" whip directly top mounted on scanner; from my front porch.
Started out inside from armchair!
Wonder what the pucker factor was for CG 2006 ?
