Mid-Atlantic (and beyond) MilAir 2025

[Frequency1]

1115- Couple of MD ANG A-10s up. A2A is 266.6. Sounds like they may be at Warren Grove.

They exited Warren Grove at 10:48 local, might be RTB at this point (I tuned in late, so didn't post)
266.6 air/air
283.1 air/range

 

[apex31]

1135 - RSF4069 off McGuire probably headed for Nellis. Wonder if the Typhoons are airborne too?

1139 - A cluster of TIS-B targets off RWY24, there go the chicks!

Tanker went over easily visible, the Typhoons were harder to find, but so far have had two Typhoons come by in half mile trail. Excuse the terrible iPhone shots, more so proof of concept than anything.

yep, hearing traffic. English with accents

Tanker circling to await the fighters climbing to catch up with them

Fighter AUX 20 = 245.400

then they mentioned 245.525 which they appear to be using as fighter air/air in Arabic. One pilot mentioned sbout Mali and another one about Iran but could not really follow the logic of the conversation...

they must read the thread - back to English on 245.525 LOL

Loud and clear in the DC metro area on 271.400 A-A. Maybe they were in two or more groups. They mentioned COLT flight. I didn't hear any activity on their other freqs.

Yeah Airbus A330-200 is a fairly large aircraft - easier target - fighters can be real tough

Getting A/A Arab accents flight of two on Coronet 294.800 with tanker.
Ok wow didn't know you guys were on this already
2nd tanker departing McGuire RSF4071

I see RSF-470 offshore Cape Cod with more? Will be enroute McGuire as well.
ZBW readback mentions SWORD-03 broke from MARSA and will be direct McGuire.
Sounds like a single jet.

1205 EST Next tanker airborne

Yeah I am just sitting here working (the paid kind) so right in front of the radios etc

SWORD21 flt holding tight formation chasing down their tanker.

 

[TerryPavlick]

It appears that 244.925 is the second tanker's refueling frequency (in comms with fighters) Waiting for fighter air / air to be confirmed

Heard mention of 296.200 ... will see...make that 396.200 for comms - this appears to be the main comms channel

Check also 272.850 for comms

 

[Frequency1]

Excuse the terrible iPhone shots

Unacceptable

Saudi tanker RSF-4070 inbound Cape Cod breaks Marsa with SWORD-03,04 all going to McGuire.

Old US Coronet boom freq 296.200 active with this second wave westbound from McGuire.
Also like you said Terry A/A yakking away on 272.850 Sword-05,06

Venus #92-9000 looks inbound for Pax River prob for missed approahes.

 

[TerryPavlick]

RSF 4069 is using 244.925 and fighters on 245.525
RSF 4071 is using 396.200 and maybe 272.850 for fighters

so trying to match any comms from RSF 4070

Corrections welcome - the phone translator not doing as well today with Arabic. Mentions of TV shows and sleeping and other non descript stuff.

1232- Mixed Arabic & English on 392.6.
