11:44 229.825 air to air talking about area 1A and 1B
Maybe talking about the 1A and 1B areas that are in the northwest corner of W72 (southeast of Norfolk) ? At the time there were a bunch of Oceana F-18s working those areas although I've not seen 229.825 listed as one of their TAC freqs. Did you hear anything else that might help ID it ?

With September on the horizon, a reminder that the UN General Assembly begins in a few weeks. It will begin on September 10th with high level debate beginning on September 24th until September 28th. A lot of presidential aircraft will be coming into the area.

U.S. Coast Guard Mid-Atlantic just saw that about the coast guard operations off the coast
Grid type Search starting back up again this evening with CG-2016..
Don't recall such a long CG missing boater search before like this. Usually lasts about 48 hours at most.

Earlier 1555 local BANDAGE-27 NC ANG C-17 #00-0183 into Andrews from Ramstein reports 43 patients
and two pallets aboard on CP 378.100. Usually use that callsign in Asia/Europe theatre but not often into the US.
First time I recall a NC ANG Charlotte C-17 doing this medevac mission.. Seems usually before Holidays and of course most Fridays
they get flight in.

I just read about the guy missing (I presume with his name there are not many out there). Appears to be a professor of ASL (American Sign Language) and based on what I read is deaf. So perhaps the situation is more concerning since he may not be able to hear aircraft or other vessels calling for him. Since he was alone perhaps a more sustained effort to find him. Either way hope they find him.

Saw this guy on ADSBx and was trying to figure out his callsign. As luck would have it, he just called Bangor OPs on 132.000 announcing his inbound ETA and that he will be in town for a couple days.

BGST404 is BLUE GHOST 404


Some research on the net is suggesting this is a US Navy T-54A from TAW-4 in Texas. I'm hoping someone on the ground at Bangor can get a picture. No tracking site has a reg number on this guy.

Seems some Americans sure like taking risks on small private airplanes,boats and Mountain climbing.
A fine line between bravery and stupidity it seems to me..
Another dumb boating accident.. American archaeologist drowns after boat sinks on Viking voyage
