Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

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....

Surely you mean UAPs? Gotta stay current with the hippest acronyms

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.

It is also Sunday the 27th --

Heard them as flight of 3 coming back from upstate NY area on same freq.Two Women and 1 Male.
May have been MD ANG Raven flight who I heard today enroute Yankee MOA push ZNY 290.200 before landing in Albany area it sounded like.

Checking the tape there was a B-1, TIGER 02, working the Fort Drum Range this afternoon. Departed around 15:45 via ART-SYR-YNG, controller said RTB to Rapid City but not sure if he meant it as a waypoint or it was the destination. Also MA ANG F-15s, LETHAL flight, working Viper.

K46A BOE 10 15-46010 eastbound. Finally on delivery or some extended test flight ?

Must be extended test flight. That tail is one of the oldest new tails when they stopped production for a while
due to quality issues and parked them for later completion.. Going into Jacksonville?
McGuire and Travis getting most of the new deliveries. Usually on Fridays and McGuire delivery callsign is PUDGY## and Travis is GOLDN ##

Looks like it landed at Cecil/KVQQ. I see Boeing has a maintenance facility there, where they do work for the Navy on P-8s, C-40s, and F-18s.

May be a long shot but has anyone heard anything on this aircraft and its status ? It flew over my house extremely lower than I’ve seen any aircraft fly while living here in Frederick.

Since it isn't milair, but commercial, probably not.

My apologies

My apologies

Conflicticting reports on a/c FlightAware says it is doing fine, but Google says it was redirected back to DC.

Shortly after takeoff reported a Gear Disagree EICAS Message, leveled off at 5000 feet. Reports 171 souls on board, 05:53 minutes fuel.

2341- Doing 45 degree bank turns to try and swing the gear down to lock. UAL924 on Potomac 126.100 LiveATC
2344- Sounds like they can't get one of their gear down, advise will be holding quite awhile to burn off fuel. Working with maintenance to trouble shoot the problem. Not sure the frequency (SATCOM?), would be an interesting conversation.
update- right main gear not showing down and locked

Thank you both ! I’ll get out of the way and let it get back to military talk 😊

Caught the launch from Wallops from East Central NC.

Rode up there, was fairly loud and impressive from about 2.5 miles away. Of course I had to use bug spray to keep from being carried away by the mosquitoes! Lol! Sorry, no decent pics or video due to operator error.

Ended without incident just after 2am.

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.

I believe it was 255.400

Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

What is "rolling stock?" Is that vehicles? Yes generic USAF term for anything from jeeps to tractor trailers or tanks. In this case most likely black Caddies and Suburbans.. AF-1 on the move SE from Columbia er I mean Cambodia this morning enroute Bali Indonesia.
