1157z 128.750 ROMA 91 working ZBW, would like to coordinate that TREND 44-46 will be returning to Langley.

Also heard on LiveATC that ROMA 82 (currently with ROMA 93) will meet up and take over ROMA 81 flight. ROMA 93 will pick up ROMA 91 flight. Seems ROMA 92 was stuck on the ground at Bangor.

I am monitoring a group of Langley F22 air air freqs to see if I can hear them. Although they may just stay on the same as their range will increase from the rest of the group anyway.

The other day airspare returning used T-Bolt callsign..

Guess they are worried about coming up short of fuel or maybe getting them to Poland in one shot.

Was having breakfast...went back to check the tapes and around 0857 someone (probably NOBLE 12) was on boom primary (231.6250) saying "this thing isn't going to take gas...will descend out of your block and we'll come up with a game plan..."

Just added the boom freqs last night; saw mark's post and realized I didn't have those in my CAP scanning group.

1523z 269.475 TREND 33 check in with ZBW FL160.
1525z 309.000 TREND 33 calling HAWK OPs at Barnes (KBAF).
1526z 309.000 TREND 33 calling and then working WHIP at Barnes. Self ID as a single F-22 inbound request to park at P03 (?) as he was having a fuel leak out of his left fuel tank. Request if a fire truck could meet him there.


(Just turned the radios back on and heard this. Possibly an air spare returning back to Langley. Sounded like a single)

 

[TerryPavlick]

Sorry - could not resist this with the current CAP in place

Dog was on "Guard Dog (special ZDC Sector controller) 135.525"

[BM82557]

I guess I'd better get a little more serious, have any of you guys copied anything on the 169th FW/157th FS SC ANG freqs during the CAP's last week or this week? I haven't --
