EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING radiowise.

Pax River taking the credit again..
Did Delaware have an earthquake? Officials say no (delawareonline.com)

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING radiowise.

If the event was related to the fighter aircraft going up the Delaware Bay side of Cape May County then two frequencies are important to monitor..... 255.400 for the aircraft to call upon prior to entry into VR-1709 Bay side and 327.125 ACY radar.

If the event was actually related to the Test Track then you need to program in the Giant Killer and Pax River frequencies for the Atlantic Test Track. Let me know if you need them - but I believe you already have the Giant Killer frequencies in your radio.

The AN-124 that was here earlier in the week flew from FL to Boeing's field in WA, then to Harrisburg PA overnight, before heading back to Europe after dark that evening.

Thanks! This the schedule for Sunday, correct? The Factbase calendar shows nothing for today, and I've seen a few media outlets referring to Sunday presidential appearances...

Yes sorry, no public events for today that is Sunday

I was at Goose Bay when I was young, my father was stationed at RCAF station GB.
The most amazing place for a young person to be, with the huge SAC base during the cold war.
Could walk from our house to where the runways intersected and watch the action.
