1032L- MD A-10s working at the Warren Grove Range (NJ) 283.1, TIS-B track goes back to Martin State.
I did verify the transmissions on a BCT-15X I have, but I guess I was getting tired and didn't mention that. I also checked on the adsbexchange and there were 2 helicopters operating relatively nearby at the time, I'm not sure what squadron they're from, but the callsigns (both TRDNT11) would seem to indicate that they're from HSC-9. I can't be sure it was them, lots of aircraft in this area don't broadcast ads-b(the F-22s from Langley and many if not most of the Navy aircraft.), but it seems likely. I'm certain that part of the transmissions were in FM, but again, I was getting tired, dealing with 2 different scanners just trying to hear what I could of both sides of the conversation, so I'm not positive that one side was AM.Not sure if this is true in your case...
I have a few frequencies in the 138.0 - 144.0 and 148.0 - 150.0 range in my scanner.
Occasionally I will receive RFI on those frequencies. I get hits on them with weird hum and, at times, sounds like whoever is talking is off frequency.
Correct, That was TABOR61 flight. The same McGuire KC-46s that dragged TABOR51 on Tuesday were involved.
Found some photos of today’s arrivals into Lakenheath. Same Greek nose art theme as the other jets.
It a AXIS PTZ camera mounted 10 feet off my roof. 32 x optical zoom
Dover is about 25 miles away as the crow flies. Conditions were excellent yesterday for seeing distant objects - I could actually see the Dover AFB fuel farm from my upper deck with my eyes. There was a lot of heat coming off the roof but here is what the fuel tanks looked like from the roof cam. The red line I added shows the water line of the horizon.

Maybe tankers cancelled or delayed? Notice today's Res up at AR-62W has times pushed back 5 hoursLooks like KBGR will see some Buffs later today.
SALVO11 DIverting for fuel instead of AR62
VP TFR for Los Angeles cancelled but nothing from VP office saying trip cancelled yet. Maybe reissue with new times, or staying in DC until bill to keep government open passes.
New tail art for 177th FW’s 86-0309 officially dubbed the “Jersey Jerk.” It’s great to see artwork on aircraft again.

Saw a C-17 yesterday headed from Andrews to So Cal... Guess load the cars and agents up and send them backVP office issues updated schedule removing LA trip from the schedule, about 2 1/2 hours after it was reported here.
At least McGuire and Harrisburg are on track to host their shows in May 2025, but still a bummer. T-Birds at McGuire weekend of 5/17 and Viper Demo Team in Harrisburg the following weekend. Other acts will be announced as the dates approach.Atlantic City scraps airshow for 2025 as well.. I thought they might try a weekend show instead.
Seems ever since T-Birds and Blue Angels said no more Wednesday airshows.
Atlantic City Airshow canceled for 2025, organizers hope for 2026 return
