See VINYL tankers up in Northeast supposedly taking Colorado F-16's to Germany for NATO exercise.

Article here also says Pease AFB will be hosting some F-15E's this Month to work with the local F-35's etc.
Guessing SJ tails but shall see.

Looks like a Friday POTUS trip to Ft Bragg, I mean the newly renamed Ft Liberty, in Fayetteville NC, before heading to Camp David.

Thanks for sharing Mark! I'm guessing that must be who is sitting at HIA, reports of 5 x KC-135s posted on Reddit.

Hearing A/A traffic on 227.275 here in northern IL. Sounds like fighter jets (no callsigns heard, but definite mask radios) traveling eastbound with KC-135’s BAT61 (59-1506) and BAT62 (59-1519) out of the 185th ARW, Sioux City, IA. Much discussion of an approach at Barnes.

Looks like the BAT Tankers holding in Indiana waiting on someone...
Another odd KC-135 #63-8018 RCH-231 to the Northeast as earlier circled just Southeast of Kansas City for someone.

Earlier this morning noticed those two KC-135's VINYL 13,14 departed Halifax came West a bit then off to Germany with those 8 F-16's.
They must be expecting more :)

Catching more mask radios here on 239.125. Loud and clear at the moment. A lot of the light banter typical of fighter pilots in transit. Maybe related to some of these ongoing movements? Someone just asked how to get a weather report for Pease.

Have been trying to update & resolve conflicting info on ZDC, and a couple things are popping up.

ZDC Sector 24 Cofield question: For a long time, I was used to them being on 123.85 & 323.0 -- but it appears that they may have changed. 124.725 & 350.35 ? Is anybody actively listening to traffic in this sector?
73/Allen (N4JRI)

ZDC reorganized their low sectors in that area almost 4 years ago. Sector 24 and Sector 28 no longer exist, they were combined into Sector 25 to form a single sector. The eastern part of the former ZDC airspace in this area was given to Cherry Point Approach (up to FL230).

This "new" Sector 25 has been using 123.850 and 279.650. I'm not sure what the status of 124.725, 350.350, 296.700 are ? I have not heard any of them in use recently. Has anyone heard them being used ?

Here is the update from ZDC dated September 24, 2019

No hits on 227.275 from Central OH, but had the flight on 239.125. Possible SD ANG based on the freq. I think they were F-16s, lots of discussion about Fort Wayne receiving Block 42s from Tulsa.
