Looks like the A-10s are stopping to play in YANKEE before going to KPWM with DECEE 21 as their tanker. Anyone up there able to hear what frequency they are using for AR ?

yeah watched it here and as predicted about 2 minutes after launch a smoky contrail to the South
heading off to the Southeast.. If you didn't know better looked like a big squiggly airline trail
The ISS Station coming overhead also tonight in about 20 minutes down your way.
Should be lit well in sunlight even though dark down here
International Space Station
See the International Space Station! As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up.

Interesting traffic today around 1530-1630L, probably out of Patuxent. Remarkably loud & clear on my mobile in Mechanicsville, VA.
262.75 - KING 4 addressing SHADETREE. Lots of numbers and distances being called. This is Button-26 for KING 4.
243.00 - "Guard Checks" - test counts at distances of 60-70 miles. Can't be sure, but altitudes possibly 9500-10,000'.
313.5 - KING 4 agreed to switch here for other traffic. This may be Button-32
262.5 - can't be sure. Sounded like noise but could be encryption. Button-25 mentioned around this timeframe but can't confirm.
I have 262.75 and 262.5 both listed for VFA-213, but SHADETREE AFAIK is Rotary Wing Directorate at Patuxent.
These tests also seemed to involve establishing comm ranges, using both upper and lower antennas.
Unknown if related, but some military jet ranger '016' did a few things at Hanover County Airport, around 1900L before heading off northeast. Looked like red & white paint job from a distance, but might've been orange and white.
Am really enjoying this mobile setup in the car using a couple TRX-1's sharing a 9" antenna via a multicoupler. They sat in the car recording the op while I was at work teaching music lessons.

Guess headed over for the next leg.
Latest batch of QEAF Advanced Eagles delivered
See down in Florida Tyndall got their first 3 F-35A's.
Long awaited F-35 aircraft touchdown at Tyndall
As the Air Force continues to evolve by modernizing its capabilities and maintaining air superiority in an ever-changing global security landscape, Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida has officially transitioned from an air dominance training mission to a fully combat capable F-35A Lightning II...

Refueling now off the Maine on 314.1 and 289.0
Reminder that the KMRB Air Show is Saturday, August 26th. Wouldn't be surprised to find C-17s, of course, and the website says there will be an F-22 there, too. The FAQs specifically say that scanners are permitted, which I thought was a nice touch.

Here was my view, Mark, with an Avelo on landing approach photobombing the moment. Although to be honest, that 737 was arguably more exciting
Well over a year ago when I joined this group, one of you was kind enough to send me the enroute freqs used by the KMRB C-17s when they fly the terrain avoidance track that runs from KMRB to the vicinity of Wardensville, WV. Their turn point at the south end is essentially my house and we get fleeting but window-filling views of them. I've lost that freq but need to put it into a new scanner. Would appreciate a repeat if that's not too much trouble.
Gee, while I was typing that, DECOY-84 went over on the track. If I don't know they are coming, they pass so quickly at low altitude that I can't run from my home office to the living room, which has a wall of windows looking down the valley. Usually they turn right outside the windows, level with the house but just down the valley. Easy spotting. But if they turn early, they're over the house. No problem hearing them, of course. Just need to open the second-story windows in case they want to fly thru.

Oh...and they have been known to fly the track at night. If they have the landing lights on (for small craft avoidance, I guess) they look very much like UFOs. Noisy for a UFO, though....
