Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

Someone coming Northeast to Southeast from ZNY 290.200 to ZDC 363.000>281.450 ZDC Sea Isle>ZDC 236.825 Snow Hill sounds like something-21.One pilot has maybe English accent. Drpped down near Cape Charles so Langley or Norfolk.

Must be warm temps and winds my scanners are getting overloaded with UHF hits.. Impossible to track them all.
So far from Pax river have 254.750,275.550,365.700,375.600,355.800 and others not sure on.Yak Yak Yak.

ROMA-83 coming South from Halifax at FL-250 dragging TREND-31 F-16's I assume to Andrews.

Yeah conditions are really good - I sat outside for a while on the upper deck and was hearing both 354.150 and 363.000 (Washington Center frequencies from Smyrna and MIllville respectfully) on a Quansheng handheld radio with the supplied rubber duck antenna. Dover frequencies were booming in as expected too.

Think I'm hearing inbound F-16's A/A 281.050 dropping down to 11k.some joking around.
TREND-31 req lower on Balt apch 317.425 req vectors for runway 19R.
TREND-31 flight push Pot apch Andrews 348.725

1600L - Visual on either a Cobra or Viper over Center City Philadelphia, very low, came from McGuire.

Sorry for being off-topic, but I think this is a historic but sad event .....

TREND 31, a flight of six departed from Spangdahlem airbase around 1130z.
Now joining with ROMA 81 (59-1475), but KC-46A ROMA 82 (20-46082) should take them to Andrews AFB.

A/R primary is 298.100 here in Europe and they are air-to-air on <281.050>.

Thanks Rene, I didn't have time before work to set up the SDR to snag any A-A on this side, but Dan M in PA caught them using the 281.05 as you did. I only had two hits for my log. They just finished their last AR and were splitting off ROMA 83 to go to Andrews.

1857z 286.600 ROMA 83 and TREND 31-36 on boom freq. Saying goodbyes and splitting the formation off.
1903z 269.300 TREND 31 flight checking in with ZBW, getting their routing to Andrews.

That's it from here.

OT: Sure got some flooding out at Scott AFB but seems no real damage.
A couple C-21's getting their feet wet in the hangars.Send some of that rain this way

Scott AFB Flooding

Heavy rainfall caused base-wide flooding on Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, July 16, 2024. Due to continued persistent rain and flooding, the base went into a mission essential status. (U.S. Air Force video by Violette Hosack)

There is a DRAGO-51 KC-135 #57-1456 DC ANG circling very low just South of DC. Maybe some local park event going on there.
Hearing them on Pot apch 279.575..

I stand corrected yet again as seems they are using Wisconsin F-35's for Milwaukee Convention CAP.
Maybe we will get Vermont F-35 CAP support down here someday. I noticed yesterday on ADSB an Iowa KC-135 circling up there.

Just checked recordings from today. Had an early BUFF flight pass through West to East on ATC.

0945z 282.200 SKULL 20 check in with ZBW FL280.
0947z 346.400 " " "
1010z 270.800 SKULL 20 check in with Moncton Center FL280.

AF1 headed home early, Biden tested positive for Covid-19. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time.

92-9000 has departed Las Vegas over an hour early.
