Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

Thanks for the reports. Did you happen to catch or know what the AR frequencies the A-10s were using with the DECEE tankers ?

I can't say for certain but I did hear them say they were going to the tanker on 295.8 in one of the recordings. I don't usually record the AR-tracks/anchors as they are very busy and I would miss too much if it's stuck on a refueling flight/training. If I were home listening live then I would scan and search but unfortunately, work gets in the way of ruining my hobby! ;-)

 

[Frequency1]

MD A-10s working out of Portland Maine (KPWM) for multiple sorties in Yankee MOA.

Approx 15:00hrs local…
Pretty sure I heard them returning home.
Lots of A/A on 228.1.
Also hits on 266.6
Mentioned altimeter of Martin State Airport.

Both now out of KRIV as SILVR 42-43. Something going down out west with a couple of BONES and AWACS in the area as well.

Odd midnight local joint Navy.USAF exercise again off San Diego overnight with McGuire KC-46;s Silver,42,43
Grayhawk 22 E-2D,Warlok-2 P-3 from Pax River,E-3,RC-135 and several KC-135's and prob fighters as well.
I think the carrier USS Carl Vinson is also offshore there.

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.

I heard them use 139.6 last week working w/Raven Ops. I have it listed as VHF pair with 275.7.

Possibly Marine One just under two miles from KILG at 9:28 EDT this morning. Today's Marine One flight with Jill and Joe was two VH-3s and one VH-60. Low clouds and a nuisance drizzle that grew heavier and heavier starting at 9 led to this less-than-stunning photo. Still, there they go...

1015- Group of 5 (2, 2, 1) 7th FS T-38s off Langley heading northwest in trail formation at FL280. I'm hearing some chat on 255.65 & 238.825 (known 7th FS freqs) so might be them.

Picking up 104th FW A/A on 264.850 but very faint.

DN = DEMON ?, BA and TN are new ones for me. DN01, BA01, TN01

There's a Jayhawk in the video so I'm declaring it mil-air related.

They all went to Wright Patterson.
DEMON 1 x 2 was the first flight.
BUNYAP 1 x 2 was 2nd.
?? 3rd flight. Was listening to Liveatc.net for KDAY. They need to get rid of ground & clearance. It covered up the 3rd flight.



NASA 817 DC-8 departed Wright Patterson also. Circled near Toledo then went up the River. Turned west north of me, went around PTK Airport. Then circled north of Romeo. Now in Canada!


Just found these 2 NASA birds, spying on 🇨🇦. 😃


Oh oh! Better go dark. They're zeroing in on me. 😃 Where's my tin foil hat!

Thanks for the reports. Did you happen to catch or know what the AR frequencies the A-10s were using with the DECEE tankers ?

They were using AR-631 freq 295.8. The A-10s asked the tanker to slow to 210 knots You knew they were A-10s...

New players in KILG CAP. Tanker GASMAN-01 KC-135 from Pittsburgh and NOBLE-31,32 fighters are twin engine
types louder here on the overhead and taking average 9k each on topoffs.. Maybe Mass F-15C's?

They were figuring fuel usage and mentioned Shaw maybe Swamp Fox F16s, maybe louder because of cloud cover.

Coast Guard H-60 doing pattern search off Cape Cod this morning.

Heard on COTHEN HF today giving position report.

There was one Jayhawk and a HC-130 doing SAR yesterday offshore VA-NC border. Caught them on COTHEN at about 1230 local, COMMCOM requesting info from 013 (C2013) about SAR. Nothing on press releases, C2013 mentioned “downed aircraft” (??) any info?
