Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

[yow777]

Also RCH 3212 and RCH 3267 up to CYOW today. 04-4133 still seems to be on the ground. I'll be home here in Ottawa Thursday and Friday. Presumably they will be running a CAP ?

In the last few days SIDECAR (NORAD) have been doing radio checks on 341.300 and 234.700 in Ottawa so I suspect these will be in use during the visit. The radio checks were done with RCAF F-18's. Also tested was 121.500.

A possible AR freq would be 268.200.

Are you able to hear SIDECAR or just the aircraft ?

NORAD press release

Yes, I can hear SIDECAR too. I believe the transmitter site is at YOW so a strong signal (341.300 is also available as a Tower freq at YOW).

Interesting the press release mentions CH-146 Griffon's. I heard them on Monday doing radio checks on A/A 263.700 and 305.300 so keep an eye on those too.

You mean low approach or actually went hover and touched the runway?

Low approach

The Chinese are very particular with the dimensions of the land they are going to buy.

US F-22s land in Philippines for first time, furthering defense ties

The landing comes as the United States and Philippines strengthen military relations as China becomes more aggressive in the South China Sea.

As I said, kind of ominous really.... Especially for an E-4B.

Just to make sure, everyone knows the reference it can relate to this...

Woah! VERY sure the PIC is a Star Wars fan and not a moron that would be celebrating one of the US' darkest moments in history, such as I'm sure that DEVIL flights are not members of the satanic order. Watch and you will see both JEDI and ELVIS flights -- now I will subscribe to the fact that Elvis is not dead: PROOF here:

Being a fan, Order 66, as you can see from the actual movie tract below, is a galaxy-wide communication from imperial command to execute the emperor's order; as per the story line completing the transition of the Jedi to outlaws.

This fits in with the E4's intention as an airborne operations platform to provide "a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders and coordinate actions by civil authorities." Given the emperor's galaxy-wide communication during the clone war, so too would be the E4; thus PIC was being tongue-in-cheek
with their ID.

Sounds like doing simulated CAP.

Two tankers off of McGuire KC-10A 86-0032 and KC-46A 19-46064 (ARMCO21) communicating on 268.0250. Saying since they are going to arrive early that they will conduct an AR before their mission with each other.

0928E: Mussel 1 hailing (unsuccessfully) "Sabre Ops" on 123.025. They were obviously on the wrong freq, but that's the first time I've heard MilAir on Air-to-Air.

What about 0015, 0016, 0017?

That's a good question. *I think* those (09-0015, 16, 17, 18) are operated by the Presidential Airlift Group, and they only fly POTUS. If you look on official sites, the USAF actually doesn't acknowledge that they exist. C-32 fact sheet:

At one time the PPO used to operate four C-20s that were specially outfitted to provide support & comms for Senior Gov't officials. The were know as SENEX (Senior Executive) acft. I believe that 09-0016,16,17,18 perform the same mission.
