Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

1206L- AF1 on final for JFK. Also ZOMBI 12 doing a circle pattern over NYC. Thought I heard ACY DEVILs on ATC. (missed freq).
DEVIL 11 flight on 260.9

Recent 15m activity on these: 231.625, 260.9, 284.1, 363.1

The controller on 119.1 (which is often patched with 257.6) usually simulcasts on 134.35.

143.825 is used all over the place with both AM and FM modulations between aircraft and the LZ controller, but not often in DC.

The only HMX-1 frequency I hear regularly used in DC is 277.175.

Also, no Marine One this week because the South Lawn is full of Easter Egg Roll prep.

In DC area I hear 143.825 (FM) - HMX-1 Common. Usually hear it as an A-A and on occasion, air to ground coordination

 

[RaleighGuy]

No Marine 1 in NYC today, POTUS deplaned at 12:20pm and hopped in the motorcade amid steady rain showers. He's rolling to RON as of 12:25pm

Okay I have no idea what I'm saying and sorry for bothering you

It seems to be some sort of mission to Tinker. Plus I don't know anything either the reason for the question.

I should have done this first place. I looked in the Call signs file and SABRE is Tinker AFB Maintenance test flight Callsign. So these must be airframes that were sent to Tinker for some level of Maintenance or upgrade.

1425 - Netherlands Air Force (NAF) 326-329 (4 x F-35's) inbound to Burlington (KBTV). Air/Air on 237.050.

Yes. The flight number usually corresponds to the type. SABRE 46 = KC-46A, 35 = KC-135, 52 = B-52, etc.

There's a good LiveATC feed that covers Oklahoma City Approach working Tinker arrivals and departures. Airborne now SABRE 52
