After midnight this morning there was a Falcon Virgo exercise. Early on BLACKJACK1 was involved. Later BRAVE1/2 did an intercept of PAT099 over the bay while it was inbound.

The callsign of the 179th FS F-16s involved in the shootdown was, no doubt here, AESIR. Not AESA or ACER. So scratch ACER from the master list for MN ANG.

Another interesting fact, the same two F-22 were involved in both Alaska intercepts.

Yup they always do that, come up to somewhere in this area and go to the southeast.

Might be just trying to avoid active areas in W107 W108 W386 W387 which they would have to cross to get out to where their operational area is (the circling)........about 50 miles northeast of the civil aircraft corridor so they do not mess with climbing and descending aircraft into the NY area.

Hearing them on way back split into two flights of two.. DEVIL-11 and DEVIL-13 ZDC 236.825>285.400>327.125

Yeah DEVIL11's UHF was a bit wierd. He was low in audio on the way out so I thought something was screwy with the feed.
I checked the other radios (different antennas) and it must have been ATC on the way out was top antenna and air air on bottom.

Seems these two C-17's pressing on to VCBI airport in Sri Lanka... Maybe just another fuel stop?

Overnight C-17's RCH-230 #09-9212 and RCH-231 #10-0215 from VCBI to Gandhi Airport VCDP in Capital of Delhi Northern India.
There is airshow going on but that is in Bangalore way to the South.Maybe some govt VIP's going to Delhi soon.

Greetings Everyone, I have been in scanning for a number of years, and after the recent objects being shot out of the sky, I am interested in doing some Military Air Monitoring. I am wondering if there is anyone in Wisconsin actively scanning MILAIR that could give me some pointers or point me to the best sources of information. Thanks Jim N9JRK / WRFU809
