[freqhopping]

On 226.3 I've been hearing something that isn't VT ANG. Ground station was providing LZ coordinates that match to Anacostia Park. Also mentioned Mt Weather and 19 pax.

Reporting that they have PAT12 "Xray at this time"

1328- PAT12 flight of two UH-60 checking in with Mt Weather. 241.0
Now saying they will no longer be going there.

HAVOC 95 (MC-130J, 21-5965) just departed KFFO after BATON 73 (EC-130J, 96-8153) came by to drop off a crew for them. Both now enroute KMDT and chatting on 395.100.

The newly delivered MC-130s have been flying directly from the factory to Patterson for modifications (probably sensors) before heading to their units.

1324 local HAVOC-95 with "Operations" 395.100 inbound alpha 2 for minor sensor writeup...
Bet it smells like a new car
Not sure how many they have now but they did get first one in February #08-6206 from Cannon AFB.

Need ID help please.

Caught these two fighters come up from somewhere, drop into Brunswick (KBXM), then take off heading direct destination which I assume it was to the North judging on the ZBW controller used last.

I can't for the life of me understand what their callsign is!! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've added a link to the audio recording.

On the recording, I will list below what freq was heard in order from descent to take off:
1806z 263.050 ZBW
1812z 269.350 Portland (KPWM) A/D
1827z Fighter 13 says Brunswick in sight, switching to Unicom. (I don't record the unicom at Brunswick 122.725 so there's no comms heard).
2036z 269.350 Portland A/D Climbout from Brunswick.
2038z 263.050 ZBW Check in then switch to next controller.
2040z 307.000 ZBW Check in

7-20-2023 INFERNO 11 and 13 To KBXM

Strike Fighter Squadron 81 (VFA-81), also known as the "Sunliners", is a United States Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet strike fighter squadron stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana. They are a part of Carri

My guess would be Navy, or Marines since there are some Marine NOMAD CH-53s TDY at Brunswick all week. or possibly CAF F-18s?

That is tough one to pull out but could be on Ron's list as FERDA .. A-10C 23rdFW Moody AFB GA.
Couple of A-10's headed North? I didn't hear them come thru hear though but who knows.
Does sound like FERDA though.Usually 11,13 reminds me of bomber types but guess no bombers into Brunswick.

Sounds like INFERNO. IDd on KBXM Unicom as F-18s. ATC side was clearer .... KPWM APR LiveATC

From Ron's list .... INFERNO F-18E VFA-81 NAS OCEANA VA

YES!! Thank you Airscan! If I was home at the time I can hear the ground side of PWM VHF and would have heard that. I keep forgetting that Portland and Brunswick are on LiveATC and are reviewable. I appreciate your time trying to figure out what the hell the pilots were saying. Thank you!

Why is Brunswick so popular? Are they dropping in to get some fresh seafood to go, some lobsters maybe, from Moody's down the street or something?

I noticed there is a museum up there. Brunswick Naval Aviation Museum Though I thought I saw something about it been closed when I was there. I did check out the P-3 on display outside.
