Might be worth popping VMA231 in the scanners, dont know if it will be them but with some digging it looks a possible
13:58 DEVIL11 flight heading into the DUKE. A2A on 298.600. Getting clearance into DUKE with ZOB on 353.850. Will not be hanging around long. SATAN flight on the way up.
14:08 DEVILs are done and headed back to ACY.
14:10 DEVIL 11 checking in to ZNY on 269.100, headed towards Harrisburg.

Off Topic but relevant...
The Air Force plans to, among other things, bring back warrant officers within the cyber and information technology professions, said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin during a presentation Monday at the Air Force Association's 2024 Warfare Symposium. Other changes can be seen in attached PDF below.

How much do they use that freq?? I had it in my radio for quite awhile and never got anything on it but interference. I usually pick them up in the Duke MOA without any problems.

NJ guys up in Duke MOA now. Sounds like they are working with FL ANG guys. Hearing Shark, Maco and Akula. I know those callsigns from when i go to FL. NJ guys on 298.600. FL guys on 376.175.
MAKO-11 returning via ZNY 322.400 then ZDC 363.000 then ZDC 127.700 and A/A 284.100 followed by
SHARK-21 on ZDC Casino 285.400
CASTLE-30 flight of two Del ANG C-0130's headed for A/C range for airdrop of TOT time of 2010 local on 343.000
These guys need to learn Z time for this stuff.
Army EC-45 chopper #12-72260 reports inbound KILG for Guard ramp on tower 126.000
Don't get many EC-45 types into KILG. Seems this flight started off from KILG.

TBH, I just put this in rotation about a month ago. Today was a pretty rare day where I could fire up the old Icom R2500 at work...don't get to do that as much as I used to.
Yes the ACE stuff is nice as we have seen various ground crews learn to refuel and generate different aircraft types etc.
I think any ground crew say that refuels C-17's learn to do A-10's,F/18's etc.
The reality though for more large instant fighter bomber responses they are looking to execute their are number problems.
The USAF Reserves constitute 60% of all USAF crews.. That is gonna make it difficult.
Example I like those large USAF Air base Elephant walks with most of the Base Wing aircraft taxing and launching you see in pics and video.
Makes for great photography and just showing off. However they always make a statement that this exercise took months of planning
to execute.. So in reality it is all a propaganda mirage for anything for a real life quick massive launch event.
Sort of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic..
Noticed VC-25 #82-8000 headed West the last couple days.. Seems to like KCOS Colorado Springs.
Course it is not AF-1 as posted..
Course it is not AF-1 as posted..
It found it's way home to ADW this afternoon.
A lot of times the elephant walks were just that, a taxi exercise. Just getting them to go that far is an accomplishment. I also would hate to be the last C-130 in a group of twenty going down the runway... I cant imagine what breathing would be like.
This has a more complete description of some of the proposed changes.

For those of us not aware of it, the military goes through organizational cycles, it looks like the upcoming iteration will try and redo the Air Expeditionary Wing arrangement, where Mountain Home AFB was a test with
F16Cs, F-15Es, B-52Gs (later B-1Bs), F-15Cs, and KC-135R, and an Air Control Squadron.
This lasted about 10 years, I think it fell apart because it was REALLY, complicated and inefficient.
The 4th Fighter wing had F-15Es and KC-10s to try and make a single unit deploy-able as one. That lasted for awhile also.
The other cycle is with job scope. Both expanding and contracting as people think it is needed.
I think the Navy is considering a new field for robotics.
The Army I think was toying with going back to the idea of a division as the center piece of the army,
After it was discovered years ago that no two divisions in the army had the same amount of artillery, the Army was then organized (idea wise) around Brigade Combat teams (I think something like 33 of them). Apparently some people aren't satisfied.
Thanks
