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
Much of the comms to maint facilities are in the 128 - 132 MHz range.

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 ##
It went to Cecil Airport (VQQ). I believe that Boeing has a maintenance facility there. The flight was it's 7th test flight.

Thanks Ed.. Haven't heard A/A 139.600 down this way for a long time.. In my rotation but must be road A/A freq for
the Ravens.. Maybe with all the radio traffic noise in DC/Balt area they don't use that VHF freq much.
Yankee MOA reserved again tomorrow same times 1515z-1900z so more A-10's again.
