I did have a couple guys chatting on 246.800 from 1400-1415z today but they didn't sound like fighters. Maybe a couple transports? Again, since I wasn't home, I couldn't verify what was travelling through the area at that time.

This is all that showed up on ADSB-X during that time. Do you think it could have been the PACK tankers that departed out of KPSM at 1400Z ?

I was wondering that too, Mark. Why would CO F-16s go to Selfridge? Wish I were home to try some MI A-10 freqs to catch any A-A.

I heard the same A/C on Boston Ctr freqs climbing FL190 to 220- callsign was cutoff - all I heard was four-one...

Thanks for looking it up Airscan. It's possible, but the PACKs usually use their A-A freq 235.85 whenever they're up. I don't know on this one. Might just remain a mystery.

Seems twitter locking out even public pages like US Coast Guard unless you sign up.. No Thanks..

OFF TOPIC - But I think I am going to need to build some dedicated antennas for the 240-350Mhz Portion of the frequencies... The old girl [SDS200] seems to be as deaf as a fence post on anything above 150 Mhz... BTW - I sucked up all of those frequencies you guys posted (Much Appreciated) Happy Friday BTW.

Okay, I give up. Why is it necessary to fly to Fort McNair on the way to Camp David when it’s easy to fly non-stop from the White House to Camp David?

It's all about the metadata... it's gold nuggets these days.

They aren't flying, it's motorcade then Marine 1. It is a normal move if there is a reason M1 can't land on South lawn.

VP is in New Orleans before heading to Los Angeles. As she has Arizona stop next Thursday I expect it will be an extended West Coast trip.

Okay, I'll buy that. Probably some prep for a 4th of July bash on the South Lawn.

Yeah I figured the PACKs would be a longshot. Maybe A-10s ? Checking the LiveATC ZBW archives (1400Z-1430Z) there was a DEMON 11 flight (x6) westbound through that area inbound to KBTV. Type ID by ATC as A-10s. Lead was a female voice.

Maybe. I'll have to take another listen to the recordings on the long holiday where I won't be rushed to listen and log everything properly. I rushed through them last night. I appreciate all your help though, it adds to how great everyone in this group is.
