Michigan Military Activity

[briano]

I saw three A-10s heading west along 15 mile road. Did anyone happen to hear anything from them? I wasnt near my scanner.

I saw one by Selfridge. looked like he took off from there (heading north) but then turned west b4 22mile rd.
( i was watching it in my rear view mirror)

OK makes sense. They always seem to make a stop at SANG on the way to Volk and back. I've seen PA ANG A-10s on the transient ramp multiple times.

Check the previous page of this thread- I didnt hear the comms but N8CBG mentions 140.2 and 138.075 in his post.

--------------------------------
A flight of F-16s just returned to SANG soon after t/o since one of the aircraft had an engine malfunction (anti-ice valve stuck ON). Any one else hear this? Activity was on 139.85, 148.525, and 388.2

Toledo F-16s are deploying to Iraq: http://www.f-16.net/news_article2344.html
Steelhead will be a bit quiet.

Dose any one have a good tip picking up some of the military aircraft in the Down river area? I'm using a pro 97 and sometimes it seems that I don't pick any mil traffic here.

Two F-16s (I believe "Tejas flight") flew over my house earlier today and I don't think they were more than 2000 feet above the house.

 

[N8CBG]

Very good, I think I heard the TEJAS flight on 254.700 fly over the parade in Waterford. DEMON-12 had a problem his aircraft just before 10AM and had to RTB prior to the start of several parades.

DEMON-11 volunteered to head down and cover the Dearborn parade, which is one of the largest in the Michigan, while the TEJAS flight covered as many of the other parades as they could, so even with the problems this morning they managed to pull off another great show.

I woke up @ 10 am sharp to the sound of that DEMON flight going right over my house at 500AGL... my house is right at the end of the Sterling Heights parade route!!! I turned on my scanner and heard the same thing about his aircraft having an issue and needing to RTB.

It would've been really cool if it had been two F-4 Phantoms flying over my house that low!!! In a few years, it will probably be A-10s.

 

[diskmonger]

The DEMON flight was all over SE Michigan this morning. I heard them in Dearborn, Milan, and one of them did a fly over in Saline - about 1000 feet off the ground.

It's 1pm and a chinook just flew over my house headed west. Anyone know what freqs they use???

---------------------

At 5pm I saw 2 CH47s flying eastbound over I69 in Lapeer today, I wonder if it was the same flight.

I've been searching for the NG chopper freqs and the C130 freqs for a while and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have active freqs?

I haven't monitored them personally, as I've stopped monitoring MilAir for awhile. But I found those frequencies on Monix, here:

They're list was updated last month.
