Michigan Military Activity

[Mark]

Got all our Dover gear out there today
Yesterday had RRR2132 ZZ333 Tanker into KGRK and departed today for home as RRR2133.
Not sure what the RAF tankers are dropping off or picking up in Texas. Not dragging any fighters.
You even had TITUS-31 BE-20 bouncing around Lake Michigan today from Andrews.

ROYAL03 and JUMBO90 came into Selfridge(MTC) to do training with the 1-182 Alpha Battery's HIMARS. They were loading them up, then unloading them.

People reported hearing fighters in Western Wayne County, I would assume it's the 180th FW headed up to Grayling's ranges.

Update, the 180th FW sent up a couple F-16's to the ranges near/at Alpena.

Sounded more like SLING. I've been wrong before?

Might be a dumb question, but whenever birds come into Selfridge, do they always contact 363.200 or does it change from time to time?

It's not that common for visitors to use that freq. It all depends on altitude & direction coming from. I think they normally hand off the aircraft from Cleve.C, right to Selfridge approach. Mainly the Toledo F-16's use it on their way home from the MOA's & ranges up north. It's a good freq to keep in the scanner because you never know who might pop up on it.

Anyone know when this site is going live in Macomb, Michigan?

There are no TG's shown for TACOM

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind the next time I head over there, hoping to catch some birds.

It is a ZOB freq - they use it as tactical discrete when they're in the Stinger MOA near Toledo. I'm guessing ZOB combines with the adjacent sector frequency during that time.

Thanks Jared, that clears that up.
