I can't blame them for heading south, I checked a minute ago and it is 17 degrees in Saint Paul

Had the MN C-130s on 226.550 when they passed my location.

Currently hearing NOBLE 31 with ZOB 379.200 > 348.675 - assume they are heading to the CAP. Up on Aux 9 367.500.

NOBLE 32 calling STING CONTROL 338.150 for radio checks, then HUNTRESS 260.900 pri and 228.900 alt - unable to make contact with HUNTRESS.

1331- NOBLE 22 hailing a TOI on 121.5 "you have been intercepted. Please acknowledge"
Think I see the offending Cessna aircraft going SW right through the donut hole.
1338- They must have got his attention, he just made a sharp turn.

N735UL

Will see if he heads westbound to Maryland after his TFR avoidance maneuver....nope...headed to KMIV Millville Airport NJ

 

[Tech792]

Anyone know if he was forced down or he landed at Millvile on his own? I wasn't able to copy the aircraft since they were at lower altitude.

The fighters returned to the CAP and the aircraft called on Millville Unicom on 123.000 as if they were any normal aircraft doing a VFR approach.

About the previously mentioned QUIT30 flight, it returned to Pope as CRIER30. Then I think was yesterday it went to KMGM as GERT38.

This morning a possible AFSOC Cessna 208 flew from Pope to Morgantown, WV and back as ERIK42.
