Exercise usually is 2 DC ANG F-16s (callsign BRAVE) "scramble" off ADW checking in w/Huntress then switch to A2A for practice intercepts on Civil Air Patrol Cessna 172s acting as "Targets". They will also sometimes head out to the PAX areas to work with the "targets". In that scenario freqs to watch for are ZDC Lexington (281.4) & Bay Watch (119.275/305.2). The 119.275 freq is usually used by CAP acft for Bay Watch area coordination.

"Viper-01 back on course for the Sea Isle waypoint" wants to decend to 18k push ZDC Casion 285.400
they usually take a VC-25 to PHL. And it appears he’s going to Valley Forge.I guess that will be a C-32 short hop into PHL - weather is supposed to be excellent on Thursday so hopefully I'll have a good view in or out or both.
Forgot to add the landing officer callsign today was Thumper and after landing NH32 called NH31 and told them to switch to 21 Charlie after discussing whether it was going to be a total shutdown. I’m not sure if 21 Charlie is a preset channel or a checklist if anyone has any info on this.On the ground at ILG as of 1505 local. Nighthawk 55; 2 VH3 159350 & 159351 landed at 1500
3 V22’s Nighthawk 31 flight landed at 1450 local 168688(00), 168289(03) and 168280(01). 03 and 01 have folded there blades and nacelles.
Lead KC-135 BOLT-11 inbound March ARB. You just never know what the USAF will do on these Evacs.Notice BOLT-11-14 KC-135's departed MacDill headed West to Southern California.. Little far for a Hurrevac?
BOLT-17 coming ashore Westbound New Orleans from MacDill and BOLT-18 trailing same..
I guess they are all headed to SoCal.Longest distance Hurrevac I have ever seen.
