Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[TerryPavlick]

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?

Some information on Giant Voice is here

Giant Voice Systems for Military Installations

ATI's Giant Voice Systems are deployed by military facilities around the world to provide essential emergency notification and warning.

My guess is that once & if Martin State loses their A-10s the 104th FS will become some sort of unmanned acft support unit

Checked on that CG training earlier today. Seems CG 6579 flew down to ADW area and did training with Blackjack 1 then stopped at ADW. After short stop, took off heading back to ACY. Heard 6579 say to Blackjack, let's stop at ADW and I'll hand over the box to you but didn't pay much attention to that at the time.

Rgr that.. Andrews will get some F-35's someday but would be redundent for Martin State basing.
Maybe Martin State could get some of those new future E-7 Wedgetails?
Nver made sense for me anyway why most of the E-3's are out at Tinker when most of the times they are
always heading for Europe.. Save some fuel out East here

The Duke MOA busy tonight and tomorrow..

Did 6579 - land anywhere first to pick up the box ?

From what I can tell he flew down from ACY, did some training, then landed at ADW to exchange " the box" probably gassed up then headed back to ACY via a divert over to the Scranton PA area.

Are you sure about Obie callsign? Could it possibly have been Hades? Obie would be new callsign for NJ ANG guys. I have an OBI callsign listed for the Barnes guys

Ron, I also have it as Barnes. They all went up at the same time and I only heard it once. I think the Barnes aircraft said it by mistake.

Short vid of possible new RR engines for the Buffs.. pretty cool looking.
