I belive Willow Grove is long closed and the A-10's went somewhere else if not to the boneyard.

 

[jsoergel]

SANDY is a common callsign for any A-10 on a SAR sortie. Goes back to the Vietnam-era "Sandy" and "Jolly" rescue forces.

NAS JRB Willow Grove transitioned to being a regular Navy run facility, then was closed. The Air Force still has some buildings, last I heard.

The Willow Grove A-10s were, mostly, sent to Selfridge.

MTC CH-47 A/A freq.

Hello all, I'm still here.
No internet at home still having a problem with my computer. I don't know if it's the computer or my phone line can't hold a stable connection? At my sisters today for Easter.

Earlier this month 2 CH-47's were flying near me passing over Detroit City airport. So I did a search for some A/A freqs and found them on 247.000.

247.000 CH-47 A/A

The other day I was listening to Selfridge Tower and I heard them clear a plane to land on 19 Right. Is the runway under construction? I assume they are using a taxiway for a runway.

I could see a VSTOL landing on one of the taxiways, but not a fixed-wing.

The runway is closed and there was equipment out on the runway. Wasn't that runway re-done not too long ago?

 

[ngreed]

For the past month or so there has been 2 KC-135's at DTW due to the construction at Selfridge.

No recent activity on this board. Once some one post something, then this board gets bumped up to the top. Anyways, I guess I'll post a log:

[FoeHammer]

[Ronaldski]

Check with thunderbolt aka tbolt as he is the forums admin here. I did a search on 'sticky' in this forum no mention as to why is was de-stickied.

 

[Thunderbolt]

I don't know how it became unstuck, but I just fixed the problem.

From another ->
Budget deal saves A-10 planes at Selfridge

 

[OHIOSCAN]

326.400 seems to be the new air to air for Tejas has anyone caught any other new ones. None of the old air to air seem to be in use anymore.

 

[nyair1]

I had some chatter last month on 273.000 which I had as Demons before. They had gone over seas and were using it for a/a chatter when they past through my area. They were a Mazda flt at the time.
