1350 local PETRO-91 KC-46 #19-46064 inbound from Japan non-stop to McGuire on CP with
6 writeups but still alpha-2. Req Customs as well.

BH400 KC-130T #162308 from VX-30 Bloodhounds eastbound over Nebraska out of Point Mugu NAS.
Maybe on the way to Pax River.. Same tail we saw at end of July on vid from Puerto Rico..
Mean Dogs tail emblem.. LOL

GAF-699 A-400M off Pax River into warning area being chased by Osprey-70 #166941 at FL-10k
and chase plane SCORE-04 #941570 ex USAF Astra C-38A jet for some pics I assume.
Pax River has tested just about every Navy aircraft that can do A/R with the Luftwaffe A-400M.

Strong comms on 258.9, sounds like aircraft may have had landing gear problems but cycled and looks okay now.

Couple of Del ANG C-130's just overflew me SW bound one shows as TREK-02.
Now they are turning Northwest bound A/A 343.000. Flying low at 1200 feet so assume night goggle practice mission of some type
going up the Susquehanna river in close trailing formation.

For those interested in Coast Guard aircraft, I saw MH-65E 6592 the other day. Based at CGAS Port Angeles, I think its new here.

One of the C-17s came in low over the house about 8amL ET. Our house is the turn point on their low-level terrain practice route as they wrap around the mountain the house sits on. Ordinarily, this will happen at least once a week, but they haven't been here for at least a month. I'm assuming they've been busy with Israel and Ukraine runs.

Yeah I was curious about the Walz aircraft and looks like my old company is supporting the wheels and brakes for both VP candidate aircraft. Vance on Eastern Air Express and Walz on Kaiser Air. Both aircraft are Boeing 737-800 series and use the wheels and brakes provided by our company.

What is the description for 271.800 ?

The only thing I see is what looks like an old listing for WX on RR:

271.800

B

CSQ

WX INFO

KLFI Weather

Sorry, I know this post is a little old, but that listing is because 271.8 is Langley's old ATIS frequency.

1040- NJ ANG C-32 # 02-4452 is meeting up w/PA ANG KC-135 # 59-1460 in AR 218 (274.45)

1045- Exec1F (C-37 # 99-0404) off DOV & heading to ADW.

1050- Interesting (to me) exchange. A Langley F-22 chatting on 238.9 (AR-636) mentioned that his acft cannot refuel and his wingman is nor allowed " to go out on her own". So they cancelled AR.

1055- Some MD ANG A-10Cs (Colt) at Kiowa Range (233.45) A2A is 271.4.

1110- Some DC ANG F-16s are out & about (don't know where). A2A is 238.175.
