Heard 11 calling 13 on 357.475. Referred to it as “21” - most VMM squadrons have their squadron tac on that preset, so it checks out.
Caught up on recordings from the past couple weeks. Here's some logs of flights besides the normal tanker traffic around here.
June 16th:
1800z 246.800 SWASH 23 flight A-A (05-0482 319th SOS U-28A from Hurlburt Field) A-A coordinating with SWASH 21 (21-5965 C-130) who was waiting for them off the coast of Maine to climb up from Pease to meet them on their way to St. John. Looking at ADSBx, they travelled together from Hurlburt Field. The U-28s stopped over at Pease, the C-130 stopped over at McGuire.
1829z 269.400 SPORT 01 flight of four MD A-10s working Pease A/D for descent to Portland, ME (KPWM).

1905z 269.350 COWBOY 11 flight check in with Portland App VFR 6.5 towards the coast. Decided they would do one low approach at Portland runway 18 on their way through the area. (visual confirmation by my Son working at Portland Airport)

1915z 269.400 COWBOY 11 flight VFR down the coast RTB, Pease.
That's it. All caught up. Had the radios on all day today hoping to catch the COWBOY flight to snag some A-A freqs but NOTHING happened all day in this rain! :-( If anyone has some VMFA-112 freqs to share that would be great. I'll keep the SDR running in case they come up through my area again. My "guess" would be they came up for training/work with the Navy's SARE facility in Rangeley, ME which happens to be right under Condor MOA. Just a WAG.

Ed, I picked up the Belgian Air Force F-16s returning to Kleine Brogel as BAF311 and BAF411 flight,
and got some nice air-to-air comms on <305.675> and <311.875>. Boom frequency was 251.200.
Thank you Rene! Appreciate the freqs!
Great! Thanks Rene. I'll plug those freqs in just in case the BAF pass through again.
Draken L-159s destination was Goose Bay CYYR then Nuuk BGGH, looks like they eventually ended up in Grosseto Italy LIRS.
