Good evening,

On this slow Columbus Day, I tried to follow some US Navy Hawks heading into Arizona
from Kingsville NAS. They are enroute to their final destination El Centro NAS, taking
part in a two week strike detachment. Their comm plan is enclosed .... :)

But I need some help in their callsigns and BuNo's if possible please ....

Is there some sort of correlation, as I saw HAWK247 (163647), BLAZER213 (163613)
and BLAZER214 (163614) all going to Scottsdale and Mesa gateway airport ?

This was posted on another list.


"I've been monitoring CBP pretty actively the past week and can confirm large-scale callsign changes across their platforms. "Most" of the AS-350s and UH60s have stayed the same. But all fixed wing has changed. I'll pass a list of what I've been able to confirm shortly but if you're hearing anything new around DC I'd be interested."

If I see anymore on this subject I'll pass it along

BOYCE42 at ACY, shows 19-46057 on ADSB but tail reads 16057 (11-46057)
Yeah also have it as #11-46057 McGuires first KC-46.
Boeing must have had an old factory B-762 chassis left over from testing or Italy perhaps so
built a new tanker out of it.. Not really a 2011 aircraft but numbered that way. :)

Notice tomorrow morning a Res eastbound up on AR-20 for 5 hours 1115z-1615z.
Usually for a E-4B type to Europe..

TROY-182 landed KILG on 126.000 req parking at the Guard ramp.
A Nighthawk says on tower at KILG cleared off to the Northwest.
AAL airlines with Philly apch 128.400 being spun back South to over South Jersey asks is there a TFR problem?
Looks like Philly airport has gone ramp freeze and other AAL airlines talking divert to Baltimore.. Bad time of day for ramp freeze.
Bad luck for AAL-1313. AA1313 (AAL1313) American Airlines Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
1750 local looks like Philly open again...
1757 local NOBLE-31,32 ZDC 363.000 cleared direct RBV and then DPK (Deerpark) at FL-230 headed for home.
Seems AAL-1313 gonna gas and go at BWI to get back to Philly..

Guess they cut their fuel load from Denver too light for spinning near Philly.. Captains call I guess.

Potus on way home. Getting strong old style P-25 voice encrypted coms on 141.075 the old Thunderbirds A/A freq.
Also regular coms on HMX-1 143.825 FM.
Poor AAL1313 had to spin again from BWI after Potus departure from PHL.. Unlucky number no breaks for them today :(
