SHUCK80 79-0003 Boeing E-3B Sentry looks to be next for you, heading NE thru Ohio now

I only saw one B-52 but Howard, who is off to my SW and gives me great Intel, said there was possibly two. I did a quick scan with binos but saw nothing so I focused on the tanker and connected BUFF.

AR80/81 (the forgotten route)

Just so that this thread doesn't go stale...
AR80/81 was active January 31st with PACK11 Flight (I missed the callsign of the receiver) on 373.600.
This is primarily a training route but luckily for those near CYQI they often show up as they turn to head back South.
As a result, when I'm lucky enough to spot them, I get a nice side view as they pass overhead to my West.

Peach68 / PACK99

PACK99 (KC35R, 58-0066) has been cleared to FL210-230 for refueling with PEACH68 (01-2005, E-8C) on AR20-NE

I can see Pack99 on Dump1090 and have him at a strength of 151, can't see him on planeplotter though.

 

[darrylcn]

That's because PlanePlotter MLAT isn't as effective as FlightAware around here, if you were to pick up a PiAware / Raspberry Pi you'd see them. I've had the KC-135, a C-17 & an E-8 (that was the receiver as look said) in the last 30 min, all showing on map.

Moncton Control Center - (CZQM) - Live Aviation ATC
Aviation online feed featuring civillian and military aircraft if anyone is interested

 

[novascotian]

I just went in on that link and the first thing I noticed was that in the list of frequencies many of them have incorrect designations, and in some cases locations. There were a couple on there that I have never heard of being in use by Moncton Ctr but I suppose that could mean I simply don't know them all.

I believe most of the frequencies monitored on that feed come from here:
Moncton (ZQM) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

If you notice any errors or things that need updating, feel free to submit corrections and i can make the appropriate changes.

As per Look's mail, coverage is also covered here as well now..... Moncton Control Center - (CZQM) - Live Aviation ATC

The LiveATC is much clearer tho. Thanks for adding this LiveATC feed ScanPEI
Would be nice if The top end of AR20 was within the freqs tho...always lose them at Halifax
