Great list. It's weird that I never heard any TABOR callsigns on the scanner, only BRAVE flt, but I guess that confirms that 352 and 226 were part of that deployment and that explains the travel pods. I wonder why only two showed up to KACY yesterday, and 250 and 346 were nowhere to be found.

Back when the 119th first deployed in October, CENTCOM posted a few photos of their arrival, which were of 87-0250 and 87-0346.
87-0250 went to Andrews on Wednesday, I caught it departing up to ACY (I think) as DEVIL91 early Thursday morning. 1714841735948.png

Callsign certainly fits and is this aircraft 328 ? 86-0328 image
Thanks Air for the good callsign detective work. Guess we can add that callsign to the NJ ANG callsign list.
I was looking for Navy 328's and didn't even try USAF.. DOH!

As for monitoring discussion we always used an unwritten rule of no personal pilot names or phone numbers overheard etc.
About 99% of coms we hear are routine mission and training and no big deal.
If they don't want to be heard they easily go encrypted and voice silent. If you are not sure and seems hot then make note if you
like but wait before posting... Just use common sense..
Even the USAF said in article last month that BTF (Bomber Task Force) sorties overseas says. "We want them to know we are there".

Under federal law and communication law, the reporting of government and military aircraft and assets is a crime. From a retired Mustang Naval Aviation Officer, be careful what you post as reporting a side number or mission Call Sign/ID may put others in harm's way. I would care less. but under the current White House, as during their former POTUS, the aiding of our enemies financially and even with Intel in times when the number of non-citizens arriving from our enemies' homelands is staggering and unchecked. Some traffic used by the college pro-terrorist rallies sounded more than a normal college-knowledge kid would post over the air. If one desires to post the entire signal profile, give it 24 hours or more before doing so. Thanks from all of us who enable and protect your ability to freely have this hobby.
This data is from publicly available information which is unclassified. While I can appreciate the point you attempted to convey, this is the Information Age. It is not a secret where or how we operate, in fact, official U.S. government websites and social media pages routinely release information on assets/operations for messaging purposes (recruiting, etc). I mean, what do you think an air show or fleet week is for?

As for the second half, relax on the fear-mongering. It is counterproductive.

1418 local Had a TABOR-31 at at FL-10k looking for runway 19 and FL-2k at Andrews on Balt apch 360.700
Sounded like a single ship.

1511-1514 local DIABLO-11 with ZNY 335.600 at FL-210 getting stronger here.
1518 local DIABLO-11 push ZDC 363.000 direct Atlantic City airport . Tried them on their Devil ops 261.000.
1522 DIABLO-11 with Devil Ops says "Seafair? aircraft 328" Push 285.400 at FL-15k. Guess Navy type aircraft.
My first thought was DIABLO is spanish for DEVIL especially that it was on DEVIL Ops 261.000 into KACY which are home to DEVILs. Don't know anything else for sure.

Actually, even on the first half, it's kind of important to know what actual law is.

Like a U.S.C. number, something we can all look up and see what is actually written.

Recent and current events show that it's important to be able to reference the actual rules / law.

Fortunately for us, most everything doesn't have a law that even addresses it.

Even in the AF, when an inspector wrote a problem up for a maintenance person or work-center, they had to provide the reference that was being used. Sometimes the reference would change and something that was prohibited would become allowed later on.

(I think police do the same thing with tickets, writing the specific code that was violated).

Thanks

I think I forgot to mention, but had scanner on and recorded comms at KILM from the parking lot during AF1 landing/departure. Caught two short transmissions I could not understand on 292.800 Andrews AFB MD SAM A-A (clear & encrypted voice) from Ron's frequency list. Files attached in case anyone wants to listen. NOTE: these are .AU files from the WS1080 software, but you should be able to convert them.

ALL...Request for help. I'm going to the Cherry Point Airshow in just over a week and have collected the below frequencies I think will be active. I would greatly appreciate it if you would look at the list and let me know if I'm missing anything, or if you have suggestions for my radios. I've searched the forums and database, as well as other sources for these. NOTE: Did not include Blue Angles as the freqs are correct in RR database. Appreciate the help!

This still has me puzzled. If it was visual ID as an F-16, what cable would the tower be referring to? Maybe the tail hook?
Here is USAF article should help explain what is used at KACY
