Judging by its landing area and speeds/alt it's a 1HS UH-1. The northmost part of the west ramp at ADW is the 1st HS ramp, also known as Mussel Beach by some I think

1217- Coast Guard 6604 (MH-65D CGAS Atlantic City) working Potomac (124.55). Looks like he's heading to CGAS Wash (Reagan).
Went to PR.
Also came right back to Andrews.. Somebody forget something? Extra guests or someone wanted to go home?
Rose Bowl in Pasadena has notam for Jan 1.. The B-2's return again this year after grounding last year the B-1's did the parade
and the game.. B-1's are better at making some real noise..Couple security Notams for Seattle and Vegas and Brownsville Tx as well...

The first time I got exposed to their noise, was while driving cross country, & stopped into Ellsworth AFB. I was at the shoppette, while a Lancer was spooling up. I think I was about a mile from the ramp, and it felt like it was just the other side of the building. It was a wake up call.
My favorite B-1 story is easy.. Early 2000's I was long time regular back then for the Dover Downs Nascar races as friends who had season tickets that they renewed every year for twice annual races. Course being radio scanner buff Nascar races were outstanding fun back then.
As we were walking in before the race to our seats 20 min to green flag I saw two B-1's circling over the Delaware Bay at about 5k feet.
I told friends and folks seated around us that a awesome B-1 flyover was gonna happen..
Well after pre-race festivities and National Anthem all quiet as no flyover.. Folks and myself looking all around.. Nothing..
Fox Motorsports goes to commercial as had that direct feed freq in my scanner and some friends giving me puzzled looks like . What happened?
30 seconds later two B-1's rip over the stadium at 2k feet North to South wings folded and burners going one just behind right of the other..
Darrel Waltrip commentator on station feed yells.. "What the Hell was that". Some kids near us started crying as scared the bejeebers out of almost everyone LOL
They were a bit late for their TOT after Anthem.. Maybe someone had their times wrong so they really went full throttles to try and make up time.
Don't think any future B-1 flyover by me will ever top that..

He’s back. It’s a UH1 flight of 3, tail numbers 69-6661 (1HS retro livery), 69-7537, third one I didn’t get to see
1235L- I'm seeing two to three TIS-B targets that just took off from Andrews. Looks like they're starting to circle around just south of Fedex Stadium.
1239L- Edit: Unless thats the 3 UH1 you're talking about. Air speeds are low.

Yeah that’s them. Guess they scratched the F22s and sent out the Hueys for the flyover instead.

I've been hearing YULETREE well on 11.175 for awhile. The other station is tough to copy.
