The DC National Guard 113th Wing had recent deployment..
Maybe just personnel as didn't hear any F-16's depart yet. Good luck to those folks.

Yes Terry all the training in the World doesn't make a engine failure no big deal outside the simulator.
It takes a certain well trained crew to handle correctly.. Course have heard a few C-130's into KILG with engine out and
no big deal as they scramble the local fire Dept etc as C-130's like B747's have 4 engines.
Just my admiration for these well trained flight crews!
Yep - handled very well both by flight crew and ATC. Engine failures occur - could even have been some FOD that finally broke loose - won't know until the SDR and incident report is posted.

1129 Local, The Nobles saying they both lost the "JACKAL" anyone know what that is?

Sounds like one of the pilot's urine bags has leaked out!!
JACKAL Surveillance network participating group (NPG) of Link 16/TADIL J.

So they both lost their link connection to Huntress - so they can see the TOIs displayed on their HUDs

Andrew and Atlantic City both host ground stations for the Link 16 network

Information from this PDF

Sometimes hear them refer to TIMBER (Link Sys-16) being Sweet or Sour.. Sweet meaning good coms data and Sour meaning no or poor connection.

NOBLE's playing with their Air/Ground Jackal system on A/A 376.175.
Loaded up Ocean City and it locked up so had to reset.. Seems they are in bad com area between DC and A/C.
Have heard complaints before down there.

13:14 EST - 11.175 MHz USB station with a 142 character message being broadcast
Broadcast took 8 minutes to transmit
There was a 182 character message broadcast at 08:29 UTC, as well as a 108 character message broadcast at 17:27 UTC.
I've heard 108 character messages before and 142 characters are relatively common when talking about long messages, but I don't know if I've ever heard a 182 broadcast before.

Guess the USS George Washington working offshore Florida/Georgia
Rawhide-71 C-2 paid a visit down there now on way home.

Seems VFA-147 is aboard as well.
There are plans that VFA-147 will undertake a cruise with an Atlantic Fleet Carrier Air Wing before being transferred to Carrier Air Wing Five at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. This will make the squadron the first forward deployed F-35C squadron in the US Navy.
