The reporting has been terrible on this. they found the helicopter but couldn't put a PJ on the ground to see if anyone is inside it? PJ's are pretty dedicated (as are many others). If they could get to the point where someone could see a helicopter on the ground, I can't believe they wouldn't let someone struggle to get to it. Yes I realize terrible weather in near impossible terrain. I realize the info is very scarce right not.
Thanks
Joel

1755 hrs Local; E6B Week41 164387 doing pattern work at Harrisburg International. Unusual location for them to visit.
In case you see any F-35B's down South with tail code WH it is these guys who have become operational.

Well, it crashed into the side of a mountain. It's going to take awhile. I don't expect to hear anything about 'finding' them until all official notifications have been made.
Looks like a case of get-there-itis, poor decision continuing into crap weather. Should've parked it at El Centro for the night.

They're pretty regular but not predictable. I've always caught them in the afternoon or evening when it's cloudy. Weekdays mostly but sometimes on the weekends. Down southside you can hear the rumble from about 8 miles away.
As for the west vantage point, you may have some luck at the corner of Carter and Blue Ridge if they're using the south FCLP trap. It's about 600m to the centerline instead of 250 at the eastern side.

PJs would’ve had to come out of Moffett Field, Nellis, or Davis Monthan (significant distances from East San Diego County). San Diego proper has a variety of SAR units (military, federal, state, and local all with aviation assets). The terrain in east county is mountainous and unforgiving, coupled with poor weather. They’re currently forecasting an additional 6-10 inches of snow in some parts of the mountains, plus high winds. I’m sure they’re moving as quick as they can, and as safely as they can.

Thanks Chuck going over tape I had SKULL-32 ZDC UHF at 1930 local looking for their tankers.
Requested one 360 turn to await their tankers.
Sorry i missed it live.. Would have had more info..Folks out here asleep on the radios..
2055 local See ARNET 54,55 Tankers on their way back to McGuire it seems
Guessing SKULLS came up from Barksdale to hit tankers and then go West.
Looks like they darn near went overhead NYC.
2105 seems ARNET tankers headed for the NY ranges up North.

I wonder what affect this will have on ADSB-Exchange, the only website I am
aware of that does not block "Blocked aircraft".

This is just a re-hash of the PIA program that has been in place, and used by a number of planes (IE Taylor Swift who is suing Jack Sweeney), for years. The planes still show up but with a fake hex code. Takes a little more effort to figure out who they are, but it still shows and still can be tracked.
The only change, which the article mentions, is that it will now expand the areas where it can be used (typically in US airspace I believe) to include more offshore airspace and routes traversing the Gulf of Mexico.
