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

Yeah a few of us old timers the old fashioned scanner freq search still works.
Like yesterday I searched and got French Rafales/Tanker departing Norfolk Va.on Boom freq 234.775.
Never hurts to do freq searching at times.. Sometimes you get lucky

Disappointed Navy Brass in GLF5 on way back to DC from Navy-Notre Dame game in NY.
Notre Dame crushed.

Air Force One/92 9000 on final approach into PHL at 3:45pm EDT this afternoon. Driving home over the Delaware Memorial Bridge I could see the HMX-1 helicopters heading to KILG with three Ospreys leading the way. Unfortunately, I have yet to master utilizing a large telephoto lens while driving over a bridge yet

Excellent catch as you can see those ER gas tanks and was busy day at Mildenhall (Home of the square D) this morning as A/C F-16's prepare to depart.. Welcome home Jersey Devils!
That base looks crowded

Out on West Coast seems VINYL-71 tanker to Utah area for receivers and now back
offshore San Fran meeting with VINYL-72.. Some Utah F-35's? Press on to Hawaii?

Good morning Mark and all,

VINYL 61 (63-8020), VINYL 62 (21-46090), VINYL 71 (61-0295) and VINYL 72 (19-46063)
dragged twelve 388FW F-35s to Honolulu as SPINE 11 and SPINE 21 flight.

I was always under the impression that this standard Coronet West callsign used to be PINE,
however ACARS message and radio calls now indicate that the correct callsign should be SPINE ....

Any thoughts on this ?

 

[Dutchmil]

How did you get the frequency?

Monitoring UK airspace myself and using an online scanner to pickup signals further away in the UK.

Good beautiful sunday morning all,


Today in the early sunday morning RCH 4070 took off from Minot AFB heading east. Probably an upcoming BTF europe deployment to RAF Fairford. Currently RCH 4070 is over Iceland with ADS-B turned off.

Some of the Barnes pilots start F-35 training early next year.

Just a slight correction I believe it was the 79th Tigers from Shaw on the last CAP right? If so that’s an active duty squadron. SC ANG (the 157th FS) flies out of McEntire about 20mins west down 378.

No just a 3 month assignment.. We have had 3 so far this year.
Fla ANG,Colorado ANG,SC ANG and now these guys.
Some of the Barnes pilots start F-35 training early next year.

The folks from Homestead (93rd FS)are AF Reserve. The FL ANG out of Jacksonville does maintain two alert F15s that operate out of Homestead.

From listening to their A/A recently, they already have two guys at the F-35 schoolhouse learning how to fly it. Deliveries to start in 2026(?)

FL ANG is phasing out their 15s as well for 35s. Supposed to have begun transition back in September.

TREND11 flt of AC F-16s and ROMA tankers departing Mildenhall yesterday.

I was tracking KC-135 59-1488 and visually spotting him on CAP passes over New Castle this morning. Around noon, he disappeared off ADS-B, but I went outside and just looked up. After just a couple of minutes, much to my surprise I was able to spot an F-15 overhead, making a sharp banking climb. Pretty pleased with myself for seeing it, let alone tracking it camera-wise for focus due to his distance (5+ miles overhead) and speed.
