Cool short vid from B-1 or chase plane after it launched a AGM-158A/JASSM Air to surface missile.
Much like a cruise missile in fullscreen view flying along it suddenly drops towards target.. course they edited out the hit on the range.
USAFCENT flexes air-to-ground capabilities in historic first for BTF

This vid shows them loading two also called JASSM's into B-1 bomb bays.
9th EBS loads JASSMs onto B-1B Lancer in support of a BTF 23-3 mission set

2020 local got someone A/A 226.275 says push 126.875 direct HEDGE for Walker-2 arrival.
126.875 shows as ZDC Sector 12 Brooke High..
CHAOS-81,82 KC-46's from Altus Ok but show as 22ARW tails inbound McGuire.
Maybe 226.275 A/A for 22 ARW or 97th AMW?.. CHAOS shows on Ron's callsign list as Altus 97th AMW Altus.
Wasn't that callsign from the old Get Smart TV show? LOL.. Ok they spelled KAOS..

I agree. I have my 300-chnl BC-895XLT loaded with all the oddballs freqs we've heard in our area (NY/NJ/MD/DE/VA/PA/NC) over the past couple of years, along with freq banks for for area AAR routes, USAF/Navy common, Coronet, area UHF ATC & area CP freqs.

2345-ADS-B showing Navy PE538 (MQ-4 # 169538) operating out of PAX and working figure eight orbits in the PAX area at FL460.
Not hearing associated data link comms. At 0002 "538" working PAX approach (250.3) reporting they are heading south. ADS-B showing him leaving PAX area heading south over Norfolk. Turned left over Norfolk and looks to be heading offshore.

 

[mdmonitor]

Today I noticed that freqs that are normally L/C were noticeably weaker & harder to hear. Wonder if the smoke/haze had anything to do with it?

 

[mdmonitor]

0020- Navy 538 working in Atlantic Test Track. NOTE: ADS-B idents as RQ-4.

Time to hang up the headsets and call it a night.

Seems we got haze and solar flares as well.. Last evening heard usual unicom call 122.800 for area skydivers and
was very weak.. Not sure I would want to be skydiving in this smoky haze anyway.. yuck.
