Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[frank3si]

Effective March 8, 2024 at 7 a.m. EST, Naval Air Systems Command issued a flight clearance for the V-22 Osprey thereby lifting the grounding. Wonder if we will see them in Philly today.

I haven't heard them here in New Castle. They're usually in and out KILG around any visit by President Biden. And there's no missing their sound.

Sorry everyone, but it is with much disappoint that I must inform you our government, who would never lie to us, has issued a report saying there are no UFOs or secret government air related projects not reported to congress. ET doesn't exist

Interesting company flying ancient plane but must have some nice spectrum analyzers on board..
They did mention: Our main product may be FCC compliance testing.
Must have been over Baltimore area looking for leaky frequencies

Philadelphia news radio KYW reporting AFOne has landed at PHL, but I'm seeing 92-9000 heading northeast on ADS-B...

KYW doesn't know what they are saying just departed ADW. And, ACARS fooled me again

Ron whats with all the DRAGO etc T-38's into Andrews? Big Arlington flyover Saturday?
Don't see anyone in particular on Arlington schedule... Maybe for something else..

Mark, not sure what's going on. Only one of the Dragos (Drago 53) went into ADW. The rest of the flt went back to Langley afterwards. I thought there might have been something wrong with 53, but maybe not, now that the Uglys showed up.

 

[frank3si]

Erroneous news reports to the contrary, seeing is believing

From memory: One of them had a reported bird strike and had to land at ADW. I believe the rest flew back to Langley.

The Tampa tanker that I had as Duce/Juice earlier turn out to be Drew callsign. Heard it clear later.
