BTW what happened to the USS Ford? Cleared Gibraltar last week and no show at Norfolk so far?
Now Navy says will rtb Norfolk next week... slow going.

Not hearing anything up here in southern NJ
Well, I'm in the middle of so many different military bases down here, I'm thinking it's probably Navy, but only a guess, that's one I'd have probably run by Larry Van Horn if he were still alive. He had great info most of the time and he always liked hearing about the more obscure or oddball frequencies heard. I hear rtty on UHF down here fairly often, but I was actually paying attention to it today.

Just reported tonight on WBAL-TV about the loss of A-10s for the Maryland ANG and fight to have another aircraft to replace them, plus the State of Maryland working on improvements to KMTN like increasing the runway to 8100'. This work is a few years away with only half the funding now, but its's starting.

Hope they get another flying unit with living right by it.

When coming home from work a single VH-92 flew up over I-95 did a tour over Baltimore and then went back to DC.

They were up with BWI tower on 119.4

Was this just to get pilot hours, other training, maintenance check, or to prepare for upcoming visit from POTUS visit to the area.

Sad part is State of Maryland had chances long ago to upgrade that airport but they seemed
to think that Feds or LM was gonna save the day.. Even when they lost the C-130J's a ways back they did nothing.
This isn't Andrews or Pax River.. May be too little too late... I don't even think Lockheed Martin wants anything to do with
that airport even though an old namesake.It is a back roads out of the way old tired airfield.

While I agree with many of Mark's comments really don't think Martin State is old and being back roads out of the way.

Much of the corporate air traffic in the Baltimore area using KMTN and having the tower frequency in the scanner rotation it's busy much of the day.
