Might want to check that last ZDC freq Mark.....

I'm guessing they scrubbed the F/A-18 flyover for the Hudson this morning due to the weather. Nothing heard on any ZDC or ZNY frequencies.
Rgr typo and fixed it.. Yeah wx is fairly bad up Long Island NY way. Nothing heard here either.
Everyone going South.. Even Maryland SPORT A-10's mentioned Aaah clearer skies ahead :)
There go DEECEE-41,42 trucking Southbound as well.

1600 EDT Activity on 284.100 perhaps air / grd or other station too far away
Probably related to activity on 260.900
119th FS, COSMICS are up on alert training. 260.000 with Huntress (receiving ground on my PHL radio, Cosmic's on NJ radio) they are utilizing 284.1000 for A2A.

They are also speaking to another ground or air asset called GATEKEEPER.

I heard traffic between 2 of them at same time on 150.200 talking about what is new plan?
Was told priority is to go pick up the pax and some cargo and worry about the rest later.
"Text you later with a plan."Good luck on your trip"Maybe second MC-130J not showing.
Another trip down to Hurlburt Field perhaps?
Yeah heard some traffic on 121.500 saying ZNY wants you on this certain freq etc.
Nothing like a 4 day Nor'easter to frazzle everyone's nerves.

New mods on the Truman for NATO exercise

Mean,funny but appropriate.. Assume on carriers if an emergency flank turn is coming an alarm would
sound off on all decks and crews could wheel chock planes in transit or secure chain them.
Must be a ton of chain/cable anchor holds all over those hangar decks and even elevators.
Maybe someday we will see a report on this and the procedures normally involved.
Someone in Navy/Dod is sure gonna get a lot of paperwork on this.
