RAF Typhoons and RAF tanker RRR-9110 departing Charleston and will swing up this way a bit
enroute Lajes.
RRR9110 UK Royal Air Force Transport Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
RAF Coms on 254.350 maybe tanker boom with wx conditions ahead.
A/A chat complaint about freq interference on 254.350 so push 262.100. So far heard only 2 RAF Typhs.
Clear to contact hose I assume on 262.100. Getting some weak coms on 333.300 but that is USAF common.

That Canforce tanker back over Pa again.Maybe picking up some more Hornets.

Guess that explains the interference the RAF were chatting about.. I didn't know if that
freq was still active.. Haven't copied here for years...

Barnes flights back and forth Key West are crazy the last few days.. Either Barnes is bringing everything
plus the kitchen sink to Key West or something else is going on..
All ANG cargo aircraft so would seem an ANG exercise down there...
Couple McGuire KC-46's to San Juan as well. Have seen in past tankers out of San Juan work Key West at same time.
Being a NAS base the Navy guys prob think the USAF is moving in 🤣🤣

Traffic on 333.3, Kinetic ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live N30HC Hex: A31DAB Kinetic Concepts
talking to Papa Bear, talking about doing various scans, mentioned ir and turret. Can't hear Papa Bear, but sounds like they're in a vehicle that's being tracked/observed by the aircraft, talking about a treeline. They're apparently orbiting a wooded area from the conversation, but I know the area and can't pin down where it would be for sure. They mentioned "enemy tank".

Hearing activity on 143.800 (AM). Listed as 756th ARS. - Andrews AFB - AFRC Tiger Ops.

I don't remember hearing activity on this freq. in a long time. Usually the 756th ARS tankers "DEECEE" use 351.200 - LIBERATOR Ops
I've never heard them use 143.8 even though it's listed for them. Nice catch. 756th also use 239.4 for A2A. In my case, 239.4 is harmonic for BWI tower (119.4) so I get alot of "noise" on that freq.
