Does anyone know when the A-10's from Selfridge might return back home?

Would be great but am not holding my breath, seems MI is always the poor stepchild to other more connected, preppy states.
We do have a large advantage with water training, something Singapore would require, not sure if that would outweigh the disadvantage of having to live in Michigan. On an even bet I'd bet CO gets it.

Anyone know what RCH594T is doing towards the Michigan/Ohio border? Odd it has the "T" on the end of the callsign, considering thats only for presidential equipment.

How do you know which KC-135 uses QUARTERBACK Ops?

 

[nodak1crdet3]

How do you know which KC-135 uses QUARTERBACK Ops?

Hi Robert.
311.000 is a common Ops freq. QUARTERBACK is used by the tanker squadron Ops at Selfridge. Main callsigns used are, JEEP, MOTOWN & sometimes RCH. 171st Air Refueling Squadron (MI KC-135's) is part of the 127th Wing at Selfridge. The 171st Air Refueling Wing is the KC-135's at Pittsburgh. I think they use 311.000 also, but they use STEEL Control. So any tanker or cargo aircraft coming to Selfridge will call QUARTERBACK Ops to let them know how far out they are & what kind of help they need.
321.000 is used by the KC-135's at Milwaukee WI. They use UPSET Control. UPSET is their main callsign.
252.100 is used by the KC-135's out of Grissom ARB. They use BRICKYARD Control. MASH & INDY are the main callsign.

Hope this helped clear things up.

That RCH594Tango is up again. I think he just forgot to change his callsign. He departed Wright Patterson, & it looks like he's heading back there.

I've been watching RCH574T Heavy the past couple of days and he's been doing some work at KTOL along with flights to the Northwest corner of Illinois all the way to Eastern Pennyslvania.
