DECOY-99, a C-17 based at KMRB, is off again and now over western Pennsylvania. Usually that means that he will meet up with a Pittsburgh tanker. The -99 callsign is normally used for training flights.

I have SIRN (the statewide digital system, for those of you outside WV) on a separate handheld scanner and haven't been using it much since I got into MilAir. I do miss a lot of good stuff that way. But if there are ANG helps on TG 9553, I'll listen.Have you ever copied the WV ANG helos from Parkersburg on SIRN TG 9553? They calls Ops on it when they leave MRB.
They flew just southeast of New Castle - would have been easily visible but for the fairly heavy and low overcastRAF Tanker RRR-9110 dragging Typhoons with 1 showing up thru Nova Scotia back home.
Looks like they are dropping into Halifax airport.
Interesting. National Guard helos in VA & NC are also using their statewide trunked systems. But as far as receiving, YMMV. Because P25 sites generally broadcast on the talkgroups where they have an actual radio affiliated, you may only hear helo traffic that's local to you. I get all sorts of things around VA because I live next door to the State Police HQ, where so many agencies have their base stations affiliated.I have SIRN (the statewide digital system, for those of you outside WV) on a separate handheld scanner and haven't been using it much since I got into MilAir.

That's all correct, but I figure that some of the medevacs will come over Hardy County, where I am located, and hit the local SIRN towers.Interesting.

Mark, Caught these guys on recordings today as they were transiting the area to land at Halifax. Much, much, chatter about landing runway 23 at CYHZ and where to taxi and how to fly around. Nothing too interesting that's for sure. Could not make out all the callsigns.RAF Tanker RRR-9110 dragging Typhoons with 1 showing up thru Nova Scotia back home.
