0937L - SKULL12 calling MUDBUG for radio check on 11175; Unidentified station picks up, SKULL12 has him LC, not copied from my location.
0943L - SKULL12 calling any player for r/c; no response.
1017L - DOOM51 calling MUDBUG for HF radio check; no response.
1110L - DOOM53 calling any radio for radio check on 11175; MAINSAIL picks up, LC both ways.
1346L - SIERRA11 calling any radio for radio check on 11175; FIRE DOME picks up; LC both ways; SIERRA11 weak and fading from my location.
1507L - DEALER21 ? calling any aircraft, any radio for radio check on 11175; no response.
1752L - SKULL14 calling MUDBUG for radio check on 11175; no response.
1752L - DOOM55 calling MUDBUG for radio check on 11175, calls a second time for any player, repeats that and cuts off after "player". Awful modulation.

Several Hurburt Field PC-12's or U-28A's as the Air Force calls them working way towards Maine
escorted by HC-130 KING-39 #17-5892 920RQW from Patrick AFB.
View attachment 158222
The USAF mandates any single engine prop plane headed across the Pond must be accompanied
by HC-130J type or similar. Seem to be dropping into Pease AFB.
Next leg will probably be St Johns or Goose Bay.

SWASH45 Flight Tracking and History 11-Mar-2024 (KHRT - FlightAware

Track SWASH45 flight from Chania, Crete to Heraklion (Iraklion), Crete

I'm pretty certain it was them talking A-A on 246.800 for quite some time. PSM was mentioned. I'd have to listen to it again.

NOTE: Last post timed out before I could finish editing..

Listened to the recording.

246.800 - USAF Common "Cheerleader" Common: SWASH flight (41, 43, 45)+ KING-39 - Air-to-Air

Chatting about landing at KSFM, runway length, wind direction, and gusts.

no callsign (SWASH-43?) (U-28A #05-0597) - 318th SOS

Interesting that KING39 was blasting into my scanner while the SWASH-##s were weak and had quite a bit of noise on their signal.

All KHRT -> KPSM

4724/8992/11175 0608Z RADIATOR with EAM "TDHULE".

Nothing on ADSB in the CONUS but he sounds airborne based on the background noise.

Only thing remotely military is a lone KC135 in AR110 presumably with some B2s in trail.
(0109 EST)

4724 0617 RADIATOR again with an EAM "TDTXP3" (only on 4724 this time)

KILLER-1 flight of 4 FL-370 trying ZDC high 353.950 no joy come up on ZDC 293.225 then push ZDC Sea Isle 281.450.
A/A heard 233.525 but that is Langley F-22 freq so not sure now. So many planes up this am after weekend and days
of high winds seems everyone wanted out today.

Bunch of MD A-10's headed up into PA various A/A and callsigns.Mention of refueling so maybe A/R practice as
DEECEE-21 at FL-17k is leading some North
Maybe A-10 A/R practice before next deployment? One pair A/A on 228.100 mention one of the A-10's is a Michigan jet.

Yeah lots of A-10's went North in pairs and see DECEE-21 is still circling at A-10 flight level 16k.
Last two pairs heard here headed out were RAVEN-55 and COLT-65.
Earlier one of the A-10's was talking about his travel food recipe he made for the group.. LOL
None of today's A-10's has returned to Martin State yet.. spoke too soon.

Here comes CLAW-01 with CLAW-02 calling in on 139.600 their aircraft condition.
1240 local on Andrews 351.200 DEECEE 21,22 one or both enroute Grissom AFB

 

[mdmonitor]

1240- DeeCee 22 off ADW working Liberator CP (351.2) requesting they advise their ETA at Grissom AFB IN is 2752Z.

1255- Gecko 45 0n 126.2 reporting jumpers away. Probably at Weide AAF. Gecko probably up from Pope AFB carrying 82nd Airborne troopers.
