Today I learned that NJ ANG spells it with a "K". COSMIK Might be why it was being asked.

From yesterdays CYOW CAP when the SONIC CF-18s RTB to Bagotville/CYBG they would switch to either AUX14 or AUX16 presumably for A-A. I wasn't able to catch either frequency. Any of the northern guys (yow777, CYUL) happen to catch these frequencies or know what they are ? I never did catch any fighter A-A activity all day. While in the CAP the fighters did mention a "channel 7" once as well. Only frequencies I heard used for the CAP were 341.300 (SIDECAR) and 364.200 (boom secondary). Not sure what boom primary was, all aircraft that tried it reported interference on it.

From the PAN AM GAMES in Canada 2015 CAP.
234.700 CAP. SIDECAR, SONIC 31 & 32, OILER 39 (Tanker).
289.400 CAP.
324.300 SIDECAR, SONIC 31 & 32.

0830- Just caught COSMICs talking to BANKER 99 on 228.9 ref to boom freq 231.65, sounded like they had some kind of issue with 231.65 but I think are going back to try again.
0846- BANKER 99 with Huntress again on 228.9, I have this listed as CAP secondary

1530- Some A2A on 357.1
Maybe Nobles?

 

[mdhallan]

Those KING HC-130J's really made good time Eastbound trucking along at 420 knots

Yes, they must be. They were discussing if the trouble reaching GATEKEEPER on satcom was because they still had Red Flag crypto loads.

Hey all,

First time posting here, but I’ve been lurking since about December. I saw this yesterday on approach to KNTU NAS Oceana. No markings except an American flag, no serial number or registration. Photo time stamps indicate it spent about an hour at or around KNTU, approached 1550, departed 1650, but it didn’t show up on ADSB. C-32B Gatekeeper?
