Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[freqhopping]

The Leesburg VA airshow is coming up this Saturday. But it still looks like WX may impact how things go. No fighter jet demos, though an F/A-18 is scheduled as a static display, pilot is from NOVA. USCG will do a demo.

I'll be on one of the three firetrucks on standby.

1325- Nighthawk 17 (HMX-1) working 277.175. Advises unheard stn that they were supposed to transport some parts to Quantico but the wx is too bad for an IFR back to Quantico. I'm guessing he's probably out of the Anacostia Det.

Then we can expect great photos on Monday?

[RaleighGuy]

Busy day over and around Fayetteville NC, a C208, Golden Knights, two C30Js and a couple of helicopters, unfortunately I don't have an antenna to catch the traffic. I pickup static on Tower frequency like the planes are talking, but I can't hear any voice.

 

[Tech792]

1445L- Yankee CAP "The changing of the tankers' now taking place. Both transponders are on, NICE 22 leaving and NICE 23 arriving.

This would be more A-A ad A-G (KPOB)

 

[hrspotter]

Can you share the IFG for the HM, please? Would love to have a look at it. Have a few of their preset cards, but more details would be great.

This is essentially a 1-1 copy of one I got a photo of in a cockpit - numbers have been checked. The photo is blurry but clear enough to ID freqs. Bottom right cell was blank on the card. HM-12 insignia on the top - their base freq is notably absent. Do you have any from the HSC sqdns?

 

[hrspotter]

277.800 ZERO KILO JULIET (0KJ) calling SIX INDIA DELTA (6ID) multiple times. Also called ZULU TWO PAPA (Z2P) a few times. Strong signal.

The trigraphs are very similar to those observed in certain HFGCS phone patch contacts involving submarines - not much info but "Exercise Esteem Highly Alpha" is the name. Any authentication phonetics exchanged?

Thanks hrspotter! There were a few freqs I didn't have. Funny, as I'm typing this the SDR was parked on 340.3 with REDHAWK working base.

Does anyone have up-to-date freqs for KNGU Chambers Field/ NAS Norfolk? I've been reorganizing my mess of a scanner and realized I've got 5 tower frequencies, or things like that.

Additionally, has anyone picked up base freqs for VAW squadrons (120, 121, 123, 124, 126), VRC-40, the new VRM-40, or HSCs 11, 9, or 5?I've been trying but it's a bit difficult without a SDR.

#82-8000 enoute NYC for pickup.. talking to someone on the old 89th AW A/A 292.800.
Maybe talking to 92-9000 on ground up there? #82-8000 seems to be spinning up there maybe as backup?

Warning, off topic --

First Look At Mystery Object Shot Down Over Canada By F-22 Raptor Last Year

This is the only image that has emerged to date of any of the three still-unidentified objects shot down over the U.S. and Canada.

Beam me up Scotty!

Wrong franchise, the photo clearly shows a drone control ship from Star Wars -- The Phantom Menace... We'll be able to tell if "drone" is mentioned anywhere in the news within the next 6 months.

Thanks
