Yup, I had Tejas 21 landing about 1120 and then Demon 11 landing about 1130. Most activity I picked up was on 143.925 and 282.5 A/A

Also had something else come in 15 mins later but I didnt catch the callsign...."? 27" i think. maybe a -135?

Watched a quadrant of F-16s t/o this morning at the usual time followed shortly by a -135. I found it odd how all the F-16s took off rwy01 and the -135 took off rwy19...


Similar on Friday w/ a KC-135 (Motown 2) taking off 10 mins before Demon 11/12 at 1330.

There was a VIP in the area this morning so I was just wondering if anyone had heard any special traffic at SANG?

lol, thanks for the clarification. I was confused with what DLT was and what the dates were for.

Did the old freqs go quiet?

Bush in town

It sounds like the CG helos are flying the CAP for Bush. There is a lot of traffic on 345.000. I also heard some chatter on 260.900.

I was told that the CG was following an a/c up here in my neck of the woods.

I also heard that CG traffic earlier in the day, they were doing their exercises, but around the time AF1 was in the area I heard two F-16s and possibility two A-10s check in and then switch over to their "Active Nets"...

I'm picking up Selfridge A.T.I.S. on 259.3 if anyone is interested.
I have Selfridge A.T.I.S. on VHF -125.325 and UHF -270.1
Is 259.3 a new freq for A.T.I.S.?

Went to Selfridge today for the official opening of the CBP Air and Marine wing.

One of my coworkers went up in the F-16D after 0900 for a ride.
Then at noon Demon 11/12 went up to do a flyby for the end of the ceremony. The F16D went up at the same time to do another ride. Demon 11 RTB and 12 went on to Alpena.
Also had a Canadian Challenger take off.
Should have pics later
