They mention the port of Philadelphia, so I assume by boat.

Thanks
Joel
I am a firefighter in Philadelphia and they move Military equipment out of the Port of Philadelphia more than everyone realizes. Helicopters they will fly them to the port and crews package them for the ship right on the dock. We usually provide fire protection while this is going on. I will check with some people to see if anything is going on.

Checking my tape after work 10:45am local Coast Guard 2015 HC-130J calling Atlantic City Air on 345.000
"We heard about earthquake in Baltimore and if you have any other info and can we land your station".
Thank you..
1435 local CG-2015 departing A/C headed back South on ADSB.

Not much felt my way. Get bigger shakes and booms from Aberdeen Proving Ground anyway.. LOL

FAA has added a permanent notam for that Sott Key bridge area.
TO OBTAIN PPR OR KEY BRIDGE FLIGHT OPS ON VHF 123.025 FOR EMERGENT AUTHORIZATION

I thought the Makos were done w/CAP duty?
Rgr Ron just started monitoring NOBLE-11,12 and tanker IGOR-13.
Same freqs 284.100 A/A Boom 231.625 etc.. No idle chit chat as boom op seems nervous and having tough time.May be windy up there.
Usually new pilots talk about landmarks etc but these guys sound like Mako CAP F-16 regulars.
Pilots chatting saying they did a lot of prep work before getting out here and are learning to work with Huntress.
Pilots say they will be clearing out to South via Salisbury when they are done. Now sound like new CAP pilots with chit chat.
We should be home by 9 or 10 at the latest..

Somehow, I've missed out on this before. Do they load onto a RoRo down at Packer Ave? Looking on vesselfinder.com, there is only one in port and it just came up from Sparrows Point since it cant get into Baltimore.

NOBLES tell Huntress we will be rtb Langley soon.. Salisbury,Jamie, to KLFI.
Guess they are not Makos.. Mentioned they did month of CAP prep work before getting out here.. Maybe the Tulsa guys?
NOBLE gets clearance to Langley also added via Cape Charles.. NOBLE-11 asks Do you know Cape Charles? Nope comes reply. Will look it up.
Really surprised these guys use same A/A as Makos. Am sure other A/A freqs will come into play soon.
NOBLE gets spelling of Cape Charles from ZDC as CCV.. CCV : CAPE CHARLES navaid | OpenNav Push ZDC 307.275.
