They went right over my house at FL230. Heard them but couldn't see them. Really high sky today. I'm not hearing them on UHF ATC freqs.

 

[ISP911]

I have 23299 and 22718 as being based at HEF?

22718 (TROY 209) - moved to Carib AMB, PR a few months ago. 22982 was the replacement.

Any confirmed type / serial on hex ADFE8C? Displayed as a C295 on tracking sites but I haven't seen any confirmation of that anywhere quite yet.

Thanks.

Confirming the other HEF based H-60 is
TROY212 23299?

I saw it in the hanger less than a week ago.

Earlier today had a 141 calling "Base on "Victor" 136.275 and nothing else heard after that.
All this hot air is making for odd coms at times today..

Confirm, 23299 is TROY 212. I have my updated list at home will add the other knowns later. One note was N261N, swaps between HEF-FRG (New York Air Unit) has switched from TROY 241 to TROY 194. 194 was an old S-76 callsign but my guess is the numbers went back into rotation when they got rid of the 76s. If anyone close to HEF or FRG can confirm.

Also, I'm not sure who's using 141 on the company VHF freq. TROY 141 should be an El Paso-based AS-350. Could it have been 541(PB), the PC-12 based out Plattsburgh? It came down to HEF today and returned with N6798 (TROY 239). N541PB uses TROY 062 on ATC.

Sorry typo on my part.. Was 241 on Victor freq I jotted down..

The Spade flight coming South from Griffiss just a short while ago right over Baltimore was SPADE-11 flight of two.

A KC-135 #63-8045 just arrived from MacDill circling Milwaukee area maybe entering CAP next.
Was listening to Milw appch earlier and heard them say TFR is in effect. Don't know who is covering fighter wise.
Maybe some Wisc F-16's or the MUDDY's from Ohio?

AF1 92-9000 enroute Las Vegas

Wisconsin is now all F-35s.

Wisconsin is now all F-35s.

Forgot about that.. Thanks.. yeah I don't think F-35's are cleared for CAP duty yet.
Funny when new F-22's first arrived Langley the VA ANG soon did local CAP duty in DC area but now
they don't do that anymore Course 9/11 was more recent news back then and Pentagon prob got the maint,fuel bills
for F-22's after 1 year CAP duty and that was enough of that

Interesting hypothetical question. The current Admin says now former Pres Trump will be granted full SS coverage just
like a sitting US Pres. Will that mean daily fighter CAP's over Bedminster NJ and Mar-A-Lago etc and current Potus CAP's as well?
That will keep Norad folks busy if such is the case.

0607L- Sounded like TREND 11 checking in on ZNY 353.5 (weak signal), also 2 ROMA tankers off of Nantucket going northeast.

They were six OK ANG F-16s enroute to Poland, they were air-to-air on 234.700.
Have to listen to my recording tomorrow, but had some good comms on that freq ...

Second cell of "SP" Vipers TREND 31 should be arriving at Andrews AFB tomorrow, Tuesday.

 

[apex31]

1905L - KC-46 (19-46064) as ALIGN01 passing by over Milford DE. Not a great shot by any means, but nice to see.

 

[Mark]

Potus has long beach weekend coming up with notam just issued.
Maybe Shaw folks can cover NJ and Rehoboth at same time?
