Very likely there is an HF or satcom channel in use for inbound flights. I am willing to bet they have CCTs on the ground helping coordinate.

Score 13 E-2D #166502 "502" callsign chatting with someone not heard on 313.700 VX-20 discrete offshore Va/MD Capes.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not but SAM is Special Air Mission not whatever you said.

I had to look up that acronym
433rd Airlift Control Flight
The 356th Airlift Squadron is the Air Force Reserve's only Formal Training Unit which provides initial and advance C-5 flight qualifications for Air Mobility Command, the Air National Guard and Air

Tyndall airspaces look busy today.. Sure have lots of room down there.

Something different --

A-10 Warthogs Escorting A Ballistic Missile Submarine Is Certainly Different
The A-10 is highly capable of force protection, including against boats that could threaten a submarine loaded with nuclear-tipped missiles.

That was the end of my involvement with them. At the time I was impressed because they would bring a little network device (about 4" x 1" x 1" ) to network their computers together, and they were VERY focused on doing their job.
Kind of a bare bones operation sometimes.
Kind of looked like this photo, but Tan.
Thanks

Sorry... Should have spelled it out. Tactical Airlift Control Elements are frequently some of the first into a situation and it seemed to be just them in a little shelter. When I was around them, it seemed their main job (what I saw of it) was to let HHQ know with 15 seconds (or something) ,of when an air-lifter departed or arrived. They would also set up (sometimes) a tent and some chairs for people coming and going (like 10 to 20 chairs, no floor, more like an overhang).I had to look up that acronym

F-22 Raptor involved in ‘mishap’ during Georgia training exercise
An F-22 Raptor taking part in a fighter exercise Monday in Savannah, Georgia, was involved in a mishap around 11:30 a.m. local time.

Good to know I wasn't the only oneI had to look up that acronym
Incident aircraft was BURNER 34. Reported central brake failure. F-16 DEMON 73 joined up for an aircraft inspection, used Aux 256.325. No further comms heard after being cleared to land. LiveATC Audio

I think I read the other day 32 Block-20 F-22's are retiring for good or the USAF wants to.

Yes. It was a joke. Someone posted an article about presidential support aircraft earlier, and they were calling them "SHADOW" aircraft in the article.

I was gonna say technically it was shadowing AF-1 as spare on that flight

1520- NJ ANG guys (Devil) out in W107 (255.0/298.6/339.725)
Reach-850 C-17 #03-3119 inbound Andrews from Ramstein 1705 local Med-Evac.
We have 43 patients/pax 11 AE crew,req customs and 50k fuel.. They had to circle a bit due to
ramp freeze from AF-1 who was just getting ready to depart..
SCORE-12 checking in with GK 249.800 heading offshore E-2D #166502 then over to
VX-20 Ops discrete 313.700 and also A/A 375.600 with SCORE-92 #167929
1745 local Pilot goof on 121.500.. Funny response from male pilot imitating a bad ladies voice.
"We will have that car out front for you but you are on Guard".. LOL.. Was real funny!
You mess up on the Guard channel you pay the price.
Now that is an anonymous recording that you can post!
