Mid-Atlantic (and beyond) MilAir 2025
- Thread starter BM82557
- Start date
Reach 332 C-17 inbound Norfolk NAS calling the tower on 379.150 asking about wx conditions.
Rare hearing that up this way.. Calling AMC CP on 349.500 says download of 2 helos,req customs and parking.
0800 local seems RCH-332 is diverting to home base Charleston perhaps instead of Norfolk.
The 177th FW at Atlantic City sure has a tough Colonel for maintenance...

Question for the VA area guys
Yesterday (Fri) was hearing unis acft on ZDC Flat Rock 235.635 around 1500-1515 local. I thought I heard a handover to 282.375. I tuned to that right away but never heard anything. I can't find any ZDC, Oceana or Langley listing for that freq.
Is that freq familiar to you guys? Maybe I misheard it???

1050- Volt 31 & 41 are off WRI heading south. Maybe relocation called off?
Yeah guess McGuire told them to hit the road 🤣
Calling for Southerly winds here tomorrow of 40-50 mph.. Looking like quiet Sunday for mil traffic.
From California here comes the toughest C-130 guys after 4 months of Antarctic shuttle duty SKIER-74 #83-0490.
Not sure who will be happier them or the returning astronauts.

1150- The last Volt #42 off WRI heading same way as the others.
Update:
I believe this is SALTY DOG 223 [SD-223] (F/A-18F #165801) - VX-23
Richmond TAPPA approach (east). I think I heard the same guy. He mentioned 126.4 (same function) on a Navy air/air freq--can't remember which one--and then showed up on 126.4 ID'ing as 'Navy' plus a 3-digit number. We don't get a lot of that, although the Navy used to keep a T-34 here at one of the FBO's for recruiting purposes. Not sure if that still goes on, because it's hard to observe anything at RIC anymore.
73/Allen (N4JRI)
I caught someone around that timeframe ID'ing as 'Navy xxx' to RIC approach on 126.4, after having mentioned the freq on a Navy air/air ch. I don't monitor the Pax freqs in the car, but 365.7 had use with Oceana units in the past, so I was likely scanning it. Will see if I can get some info from the recordings.

Looks like 4 VOLTS headed down to Louisiana. I'm guessing the McGuire based 514th Aeromedical Staging Squadron
for the weekend down there or one of the various other 514th reserve squadrons.
VOLT-12 arriving direct from Charleston.. McGuire has lots of Reserve type squadrons.. Maybe ICE support down there somewhere?
514th Mission Support Group
-- 514th Mission Support Squadron
-- 514th Logistics Readiness Squadron
-- 514th Civil Engineer Squadron
-- 514th Security Forces Squadron
-- 35th and 88th Aerial Port Squadrons
- 514th Aeromedical Staging Squadron
- 514th Aerospace Medicine Squadron

1415- Cody 01 (KC-46 # 17-46030) out of Pease making way through area heading southwest. Working ZDC Bucks Elbow (12.675).
365.7 was evidently pretty busy. I went out to the car and reviewed my recordings:
1509L - unintelligible around Richmond, VA - maybe the Salty Dogs
1555L - one pilot giving the other landing info for Rwy 14, presumably Patuxent
1600L - one pilot remarking that he was up on 126.400, with the other remarking that he had heard a reply on 282.375--so the UHF freq was likely the original handoff. Nothing air/air caught on this freq after that--but that radio was still scanning
Second radio tuned to sit on 126.4 at 1600L:
1601-1606L - Navy Tango Papa 38 communicating with Potomac on 126.4, discussing altitudes as far down as 5000'
1608L - TP38 handing off to Patuxent Approach on 120.05
Nothing after that. I didn't have Patuxent Approach in my scan.

ps - sorry for all the crazy quote boxes, guys...I was trying to include mdmonitor's original post on this
Trump posted 30 min ago that he has ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military actions against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

GOOSE-21 MV-22B Osprey southbound from McGuire with ACY approach, probably heading back to New River MCAS.
