HSC-28 MH-60S WOLF1 into Little Creek from Norfolk, then offshore. Haven’t heard or seen the callsign before - could be spec ops or offshore/mission specific.

They don’t have a dedicated helipad at JEB Little Creek and tend to use the ball fields as LZ. No need to invest in an actual pad I guess.

NOBLE's chatting with Huntress 260.900 and each other as seems an active scramble going on at Barnes.
Also mentioned A/C F-16's from A/C Cosmics are up as well a bit earlier.
NOBLES and tanker have now switched to secondary Huntress freq 228.900
Will see if they scramble some alert tankers as well.
0830 local NOBLES go back to primary 260.900 and copies SLAMS heading at 230.
NOBLE-11 req radar contact but then told skip it.. Seems SLAMS and COSMICS chasing target E-520 SW heading.
Now seems show is over. prob a airline with radio out or something like that coming off the Pond.

There is a UAE Emirates A-388 UAE8ER coming off the pond enroute JFK and seems to be diverting now.coincidence?

Yes, they arrived from Aviano as TREND 11-14. They should be departing back to CONUS this weekend.
They were air-to-air on <246.125>, don't know if this is one of their usual ones ... :rolleyes:

TREND 11-14 departed from RAF Mildenhall [EGUN] with KC-46s ROMA 61 and ROMA 62.
Boom frequency was 294.800 with both tankers on 307.900 as interplane frequency.

92-9000 took off from PHL around 11:30am EDT, currently heading west past West Chester PA. I'd expect a bank left toward Andrews, but we'll see... 82-8000 is also in the air right by Andrews.

Edit: I forgot President Biden was going to Pittsburgh today, so that explains 92-9000. 82-8000 just landed at Andrews.

How did you get the frequency?

Monitoring comms / scanning / searching. Rene's been at it for years.
The tankers discussed the frequencies before departure.

For those people not in line of sight range of the Merkin bases in East Anglia there are some public zello channels:
EGUN
EGUL
EGUL RAPCON

Maybe others. There are certainly a couple of Scottish Mil and Dutch Mil ones.

Just looked at Globaltuners and there are still a few receivers which ought to give reasonable coverage over the Midlands and North East of England too.
