Based on the following it appears once the USAF grounded their fleet others are following suit (so probably why the confusion)

Not sure there is one. I only asked that question because last night they had an E-3 working as Darkstar with fighters.

That used to be or maybe still is F277 of the Mystic Star network. Even if Mystic Star no longer exists that frequency is one of the old phone patch frequencies from years past for SAM and other VIP flights. Sometimes used in LSB (lower sideband mode) on the HF radio.

Rgr see (AE0586C) in the pattern at low altitude now.. Thanks.
I imagine at FL-19k still makes some real noise down below
Notice tomorrow most of the ranges around here show no reservations..
Maybe 3 day weekend for most after tonight.

sua.faa.gov is my guess

Defense bill would let Air Force retire A-10s, F-15s — but not F-22s

Lawmakers want to see more detailed plans for collaborative combat aircraft and the Next Generation Air Dominance platform.

What is 274.200 frequency assigned to?

@dmi Sorry for the late response. I have it as LANGLEY 43RD FS. I'll attach the audio as I heard it here. 274.2 starts at 17:39 on the recording. Sounds like they are training on new aircraft. Or training new pilots on existing aircraft. But 274.2 was only used briefly.

This is NEVER a good thing to see..

NOTAM posted this morning at 1058L for KJPN Pentagon heliport:

Thanks. I'd love to head out and try to get some photos at the Warren Grove Range at some point, but it's not a 'lock' to go and have it being active. I used to know guys at the Bollen Range and did some photography work there when the 103rd FS was still around.

Just remember to filter it as "all MTR" and >8h in the map layers so you see things as soon as they're scheduled.
