Maybe a change, or maybe last minute add, remember RDU TFR wasn't added until after 8pm Tuesday night for an announced Wed visit.

USAF C-130 VADER08 out of KNGU Norfolk in a racetrack pattern offshore Fort Story. Assume part of the exercise - something similar to this in the same spot.

Now N286AT, a Cessna 208, circling over Fort Story. Got a picture of it earlier - pretty unassuming but it has a gimbal and maybe a ground search radar.


1935L - Now over Little Creek. It should have an AG freq.

The amount of military assets affiliated with DG, will be worth a lot of rent/aide to the Mauritanians. The USN keeps preposition ships there, and a comms site, over and above the aviation use.

foreign aid in the form of money always helps

Navy VUP-19 of Jacksonville NAS has stood up another MQ-4C patrol orbit in the Centcom area.
We see them testing at Pax River often like the other day and out of Italy too all controlled out of Jacksonville.

foreign aid in the form of money always helps

Important to remember other bases that were important. The biggest was in the Philippines, When they were insisting on a billion dollars a year in rent, then Mount Pinatubo erupted and the US decided it wasn't really that important (at the time).

I don't know what kind of disasters can happen to Diego Garcia, but sometimes modesty is the best policy.

Policy and money in some places aren't up to the sophistication and foresight they need for their own best interests.


Thanks

Am noticing that several of the HMX-1 CMV-22s are using various NH ## for the same airframe. So maybe, the NH ## calls are assigned to pilots/crews rather than airframe?

 

[mdmonitor]

1305- Hearing acft ???-01 (call missed) working w/Echo Control (268.85). Xmitter sounds like an F-35.

1310- Hearing some broken A2A chat on 235.85, which I have as an NH ANG (Pack) A2A. ADS-B showing KC-46s Reach 851 & 854 in formation over Long Island heading north. Maybe them? Now seeing Pack 51 & 52 coming out of AR 636, so it's probably them.

1320- Boeing 22 (C-17 # 04-4133) working Brickyard CP (237.15) w/inbound msg.

 

[Mark]

RAVEN's on the way back some A/A 139.600 Raven says he will call in
all the codes of the other inbounds,Axeman,Wardog all are Code1.
Guess their NH Yankee MOA work is done for the week. All coming in almost at once.
