Guys,

From The War Zone site

Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force has retired one of its least-known assets, the RC-26B Condor surveillance aircraft. The Pentagon released imagery on January 3 showing the final flight of the last RC-26B at Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison, Wisconsin, where the aircraft has primarily been supporting counter-drug operations as of late. The Air Force decided to retire all 11 of the RC-26Bs across its fleet as a cost-saving measure, replacing the piloted reconnaissance assets with drones.

Some vids of Charleston flyover. Kind of disappointing as they really had them spread out for several miles and higher in elevation.
Previous years had much tighter formation. Still impressive though.
Seems 4 Shaw F-16's lead things off and photog counted 20 C-17's in the flyover.
Saw quite a few LIFT callsigns earlier today on ADSBX..

DVIDS is supposed to have video tomorrow.
They will prob have some good vid. Would be real fun if Shaw AFB sent up 72 F-16's zooming by
at low altitude :)

There is a TN 134-ARW ANG KC-135 up on AR-20E at 15,8k callsign FIAT-22 #57-1436.
Kind of low alttiude and there was a Res tonight AR-20E 0030z-0200z FL-150-170.
Kind of at A-10 altitude or MC-130J? :) On way North from TN he dropped down over Long Island so maybe where they picked up somebody.
2110 local FIAT-22 req 2 minute warning of end of A/R then will go to FL280.

A/R is with AXIS-41 EC-130H not showing on mode s.
Seems they like the PA ANG EC-130J's turn off their mode s anymore at times.

307.900 is listed as a Potomac Approach frequency (WOOLY Sector), and 315.900 is AR777 secondary. Were the MA ANG actually using 307.9 and 315.9 in W105 ?
Yes 307.9 in W105.
Also, a couple of recent posts by member pro106import have mentioned 307.9 in W105.

Regarding 315.9, probably a separate exercise. I’m sorry 😞.

es 307.9 is a Barnes Tac freq. used pretty much every time they go up.

Thanks. I'll add it to my KBAF TAC list. I've never heard them use 307.900 up here (Viper). This is all I had.

259.000 - TAC A-A, possibly button 2 ?
259.900 - TAC A-A, possibly button 3 ?
264.850 - TAC A-A, possibly buton 4 ?
309.000 - Hawk OPS

And for W105 specifically

338.100 - Giant Killer (entry/exit)
305.250 - Giant Killer, W105 Common (primary)
327.900 - Giant Killer, W105 Common (secondary)
289.000 - AR in W105 (primary). Is there a secondary ?
277.600 - HUNTRESS, ACM
234.600 - HUNTRESS, ACM

Any other KBAF TAC or W105 frequencies appreciated.
