Mid-Air Refueling over Nova Scotia

[darrylcn]

Yup you win Metal! Nice work. ID Rumors are a tough one to nail down. I'm glad you were right. Man I don't think we will get this chance again for a whiiiile if ever.

Correct callsign this morning was TABOR 61 and TABOR 71 A-10 flights enroute Lajes.
Supposedly off to Spangdahlem after Lajes.
They almost always use TABOR with CLEAN Coronet tanker callsign.
Been a couple years since logging CLEANS here..

Noticed the B-2's tanked at FL300,a little higher than most mil A/R's.
Missed them as was at work but
guess the good news is they will rtb later tonight back at Whiteman

Thanks for the correction on the TABOR flight. It was hard to make out through the 02 mask muffle. Sounded like they said SABRE. Thanks again Mark! Time to edit my logs.

Sounds like they returned...AR20-NE is active 2120Z----------Disregard...wishful thinking.

 

[Mark]

QUID 90,91 tankers coming back to UK barn at 0050z as went oceanic 2100z so assume

Just getting up to speed on today's events reading the posts. Great work everyone! A bit of chatter tonight on 6.761 MHz.

0120z FOWL 11 on 11175 with code message readback..very weak.
Lots of EAM's tonight
0135z SKYMASTER calling FOWL 12 then out.

OK EAM simulcast coming in much better on 8992 callsign FELDMAN sounds like.

0150z FOWL 11 calling Skymaster 11175.Getting bit stronger..

0210z Sounds like SELDMAN now on 8992 with EAM waiting for traffic.

Hi Mark, yes it's very weak, hard to make out over the noise.

 

[SCPD]

0210z Sounds like SELDMAN now on 8992 with EAM waiting for traffic.

TACAMO activity still very active on 11175 and 8992USB. Sounds like SALESMAN on the call sign. Time 0315Z

Sounds like a Yankee CAP over NYC with SLAM 31/32 flights. Tankers just arrived for AR, BANKER 01 & 02 (self ID'ed as (2) KC-10s), mostly using 260.90 for primary. Sounds like 2 McGuire tankers. Interplane 139.875.

Anyone know of any fighters SW bound over NS in the last hour? My friend who snagged the B-2s yesterday saw two planes close together with contrails a bit ago. Thanks!

 

[darrylcn]

HUGE 52 74-0787 is over Halifax now. Unknown heading because I didn't get an email since their hex starts with AD instead of AE.

Edit - I'm guessing SW after watching em for a bit.

He was using CPDLC the whole time...never heard a peep from Moncton Center. Almost missed him as he glided silently overhead. I thought this would have been the receiver for today's AR20-SW reservation. FL340 2120Z

 

[freqhopping]

HUGE52 looks to be departing the DC area now. Slow climb.

 

[darrylcn]

Italian AF 767 off the coast of NS heading SW. Full positioning showing in Flightaware.

Tanker was Steel 73 tail# 59-1468 PA ANG KC-135T out of Pittsburg. I believe receiver was tail #
79-1711 KC-10 out of McGuire. Refueling track was AR206L.

I believe the receiver was 13. I'll have to replay it tonite on my log and check it. I think they were going to do some random AR after the end of the track. I was in and out of the room hearing them. The track just about comes overhead of my house. On a clear night you can see them on the low track. I wish I had a good camera to get some pics.

 

[MOD]

Random AR towards Pittsburg after track. I'm in WNY also. AR 206 runs just South of me.
