Heard DC ANG BULLY-21 and MISTY flights. 226.675 - ZDC Elkins Low. They use this freq when working EVERS MOA
A-A - 240.250, 285.225

DRAGO-51 (2 Ship standard formation) 279.575 PCT -> 281.400 ZDC - Climbing FL260 -> 285.450 ZDC - Climbing FL280
--

Side note:
I'm going to add 318.775 - EVERS MOA AR Primary to my list [First Hit: 3/7/2025]
Earlier while working - two aircraft on an air/air were reviewing freqs with color names. Apparently the one pilot left his frequency chart back at base.

Some of the frequencies mentioned were

240.250
237.250
376.575
377.875

Not sure if that matches up to anything but figured I would add what I heard. The colors seemed to be corridors.

Thanks! I had the top two freqs but not the rest. Did you happen to catch the color to frequency mapping and what frequency they were A-A on?

I have 377.575 as DC ANG discrete. Please confirm 377.875
I'm receiving them very weak from DC. Wonder where they're at.

Okay I do not remember the air to air they were on - not paying attention 100 percent.

Most of the frequencies related to the color Yellow but the 376 and 377 sounded more Yellow than the others (if that makes sense).

When creating a frequency matrix, planners will sometimes use the base color for one band, such as yellow for UHF. Then the specific freqs would be goldenrod, canary, lemon, etc.

Not all tankers. I posted earlier ADVICE-12 KC-46 from Pease headed South today to Florida
In past area CAP's is funny as had couple new tanker crews using ADVICE come in pronouncing it as ADVICK as
only the 5 phonetic limit callsign ADVIC on their flight manifest..Plan shows ADVIC and some pronounced it that way.
After a few minutes with fighters in CAP they go back to the normal Advice ** LOL Not a great callsign for the books.
They need a new Norad 5 digit callsign.. Lots of 5 phonetic digit callsigns out there :)

I see several Euro G-7 Quebec meeting mil pax flights enroute back home to Europe tonight.
Guess not much news out of that meeting.. Like it never happened.
