Not Mil-Air however FlyExclusive 827 (JRE827) originally enroute from Georgetown, De to Providenciales International (Turks and Caicoes) talking with Seymour Johnson AFB Approaching coordinating an emergency landing at Kinston Regional Jetport (KISO). Looks to have diverted from around 40k off the Outer Banks.

Getting A-A comms on 311.3 which I believe is FLAM 21 and the tanker with him. Heading to the AR CP.

1748z 120.250 FLAM 21 working ZBW, 21 accepts MARSA with FLAM 22 who is ten miles in trail.
1805z 132.500 FLAM 21 flight check in with Moncton Center climbing to the block 260-270.

Departed here earlier this morning using those freqs. MOC referred to them as the "LTM PA flight," maintenance crew was "LTM PA team." Not sure what that designates, but they are due back at 1700L.


1050- Zombie 11 leaving CAP & heading back to Pease. Noble 11 flt heading home. Working ZDC Kenton (354.15)>ZDC Millville (363.0)>ZNY Big Flat (270.3)>ZOB Indian Head (363.075)>ZOB Ontario (338.35).

Minor corrections: 363.075 should be ZOB IRL (Imperial), 338.350 should be ZOB BKI (Brecksville).

As of 1755Z, hearing some Toledo birds on 367.500 Aux 9, ZOB 348.675. Maybe heading to the CAP.

Jared,

Maybe some confusion. When I post UHF ATC freqs I use the RCAG location & not the sector title. According to RR ZOB freq list, Brecksville is 379.925.

379.925 should be removed from the list now. I submitted changes to the ZOB page and they have been added as of a couple days ago. That freq was replaced by 338.350.

On that note, NOBLE 31 just checked in on 338.350. Still on Aux 9 (367.500) and did satcom checks with HUNTRESS and STING CONTROL on 297.525u.

No contact made 338.350, so ZOB sends them to 125.875 instead.

Thanks Jared. They're not talking too much. Last comms were something about (sending it over to you guys first, that's what the CONOP wanted us to do. If he tells us something different when we get over there then that's fine.)

No, always secure. Bombers sometimes show up in the clear but the fighters almost never do. My theory is that the fighters are more likely to say "checks unsuccessful" and fix it after they return home, whereas the bombers have a crew member available who will try and troubleshoot during the flight.

So your comment " did satcom checks with HUNTRESS and STING CONTROL" was based on comms you heard on the air/air between the fighters ? Just trying to clarify.

I just had NOBLE-21,22 A/A on way home have NOBLE-22 call Base Ops on satcom and let them know we are inbound
on UHF then Satcom came alive with two short data bursts on 297.525
1406 local A/A coms on 357.100 assume NOBLE 31,32 coms Aux-8.
WINK-13 on way in #61-0321 with WINK-12 chatting about possible icing conditions back home.
WINK-13 is another 6thAMW tanker out of Charleston today.WINK-13 says no icing problems on way in.

Thank for the report on the SATCOM. I can hear the uplink no problem - trying to make sure the antenna is pointed the right direction for the downlink side.

1820z FLAM 21 flight switched to 135.650 Moncton Center. (Heard via LiveATC).

Looking at ADSBexchange, the FLAMs seem to be heading directly towards TITAN 25 who is inbound near Newfoundland. Most likely their receiver as that E-4B is a thirsty fellow!
Sounds like refueling is over: Flame21 now on Moncton 135.2 heading 265 while Titan25 was cleared for CANAL on CYQM Moncton Low (LIVE ATC)

Any idea what the ROMA tankers from McGuire are for? Can't think of any stateside-based fighter units currently in Europe.
Saw this morning that ROMA-71 on ACARS is going to LLNV Nevatim Air base in Israel.
Seems we have 6 F-15's that arrived there in early January. Not sure where from.
