Brand new KC-46 flying out of Whiteman AFB today WM268 #22-46101 dropping
down near St Louis. There was a Whiteman T-38 up earlier with WM## callsign as well.
Now eastbound towards Indiana.

PACK-51,52 now both back on their squad A/A 235.850 vs "A/R Prime 276.500" seem to be using both freqs.
One is on 235.850 and the other 276.500 :)

RCH-3232 C-17 #07-7173 ADW to PHL.

Probably 238.900 which is AR212 primary. At the time they were on AR212 fueling with MAINE 85. They generally use VHF with ATC on those AR routes, if you monitor Boston on 135.700 you should be able to hear them get their AR clearances onto AR212/AR204. LiveATC Audio

Just curious if you were able to hear anything from the 2 VT ANG F-35s KNIGHT 11-12 that were working in Viper around the same time, they were using 314.400 for A-A, with brief contacts on 226.300 (Viper Common), 244.500 (Range Control), and 293.700 (OPS).
I didn't hear anything unfortunately. I programmed those freqs into my 125AT. When I do catch something I will report back to you though.

Hex is shared between the KC-46 and T-38A 64-13268 (hence the WM268 callsign)

VP TFR 5/6263 has been issued for the Thurmont, MD area on March 21-23, 2025. This NOTAM replaces 5/6221 due to a change in times (start time pushed back by 1 hour and 15 minutes).
Some people can't make up their mind, he should have checked with his wife first...
Reissue #2 VP TFR 5/6301 has been issued for the Thurmont, MD area on March 21-23, 2025. This NOTAM replaces 5/6263 due to a change in times (start time moved earlier by 1 hour).

Meanwhile, next week, on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 Vice President JD Vance will visit Marine Corps Base Quantico.

In other news, are we getting a new aircraft, or a new name for Trump at the DOD?
Walking from Pebble Beach at 1:08, past reporters assembled at sticks, Secretary Hegseth said, "I'm proud of the F-47, it's a very important platform." He then declined to respond to a shouted question: "Is it named after President Trump?" before walking into WH via the West Wing portico.

The Air Force is going to be awarding the contract for the next generation air dominance platform to Boeing, the F-47 is equipped with state of the art stealth technology . It's virtually unseeable and uh unprecedented power . It's got the most power of any jet of its kind ever made, maneuverability likewise is the uh there's never been anything like it despite the power and speed . Uh , its speed is top , uh , it's over 2 , which is something that you don't hear very often." From Trump & Hegseth announcement.
