What call sign are they running?
Well since it is secure comms I am not sure......I am not actively monitoring the other clear comm channels.
Perhaps someone else knows which call signs are active on the other probably four frequencies I am seeing hits on.

1148- Decoy 99 (C-17 # 00-0181 WVA ANG) working AR training (274.45) in AR128 Pittsburgh KC-135 # 59-1460
1210- They just went south through my area going south. Showed briefly as TIS-B, no comms heard.
Of course if they remove all of thier markings (including flags), it turns a regular airplane into an unmarked spy airplane...
of course there is a more significant side affect, maintenance is usually (or at least it used to be) dispatched to the tail number of the aircraft, although its parking spot can also be used, maintenance. would check the tail number to verify the correct aircraft, there could be some really interesting maintenance communications for those close enough to receive them.
Thanks

Is potatohead leaving for his trip early? Coming through DC about 1215 I saw the motorcade heading to 295 with traffic screwed up all over the place. Thankfully northbound 295 to 395 was clear. It looked like the MPD helo was flying around high above SEDC.
He was speaking at DHS, motorcade arrived back at the White House at 1:03 p.m.
Okay a couple of points from someone who worked in the aviation industry. Removing the outside identification from the aircraft does not change the maintenance operations that deal with them. What you are removing is the outside appearance of the aircraft (basically while in flight). Once gear doors are open - aircraft identification marks can become visible. There are lots of other ways that maintenance teams and flight operations people coordinate the aircraft. If you are expecting an F16 to show up and a KC135 pulls up to park at the designated spot - you are beyond any physical identification issues with your operations. Common sense applies in most cases.Of course if they remove all of thier markings (including flags), it turns a regular airplane into an unmarked spy airplane...

Another thing is that the US Army apparently has already started compliance with the process a while ago - and the US Army seems to have a good handle on their operational fleet.
When I last heard them (wasn’t listening this time) they were coming over those NY Mil Use frequencies under the NYC Airports database (KLGA, KEWR for sure and I think KJFK)

Gonna get interesting around KMTN Martin State in the next few days. NOTAM published today shows AIR NATIONAL GUARD RAMP, BASE-WIDE EXERCISE IN EFFECT. USE OF GIANT VOICE AND SMOKE FOR SIMULATION. From March 2 at 630AM L until March 5 at 6PM Local.
Anybody heard of "giant voice"? Is it just a P.A. system?
