1507z I'm hearing unidentified A-A comms on 273.85 sounds like two players. I have this freq as an AMC Nationwide A-A freq but it sure doesn't sound like tankers or transports. Comms are weak but readable as they may be low level or on the fringes of my reception area. Any ideas who may use this freq please feel free to help me ID them. Had some hits on UHF ZBW but of coarse it was on a scanner I wasn't recording at the time!

This MAY be one of the players I heard. After listening to the recording, I did make out a few sentences. One of them said, "if we stay above that line going to our north from SCUPP to our holding pattern". They also mentioned something about Hampton. So, looking at this C130 I just found on ADSBx, I bet he is one of the guys I heard and the areas they talked about fit. Their lower level isn't helping my reception very much!

also... I looked into my database some more and realized 273.85 I had confirmed as VFA-211 at Oceana in 2021 from the Checkmates flying F-18E using the callsign NIKEL. Sooooooooo..... it might have been NAVY BH400 was working with this guy off the coast? Just a WAG!

A couple of nights ago the same aircraft with the same flight number RCH829 made a pit stop in YOW in the middle of the night enroute between McCord and Ramstein. Odd places to stop for a pit stop. I'm guessing it has something to do with the runway work they are doing in Bangor ?

Seeing a post indicating that RCH829 dropped off some pax at YUL that morning.

A little bit away from the Mid-Atlantic but of great aviation interest.

One of the worlds last Avro Lancaster PA474 is up over England taking a lap with the Red Arrows near. Looking like they are part of the spectacle for the F1 race at Silverstone.

I just love those WWII warbirds. P-51 Mustang and F4U Corsair are my favorites. One of my uncles flew Corsairs in WWII.
