Awesome! I’ve never been able to find a decent spot for photos there. Would you mind sharing where you took this from?View attachment 157630
I was able to get out to McGuire yesterday. 3 KC-46's, 1 C-17 and 1 C-32B. Will post other photos shortly. This is KC-46A 19-46007.
2020 local aircraft on ZDC 307.025 Potomac says enroute Harrisburg for AR? Sounds like Heavy to me.

Thanks Mark. Just turned on the radios. GASMAN, VIMMYs, and SLAMs in W-102 using HUNTRESS 228.9 and 260.9 Sounds like this exercise is ending and players are heading home. Hearing talk about a formation for photo OP.
Update:
2144z 377.000 CREW 50 flight A-A
2201z 326.375 Unknown A-A chatter.
2205z 134.950 CREW 50 B-1s working ZBW looking direct Ellsworth AFB.
2208z 319.100 VIMMY 11 Bagotville F-18s, flight of two checking in at FL280.
2213z 128.325 CREW 50 check in with ZBW non-standard formation.
2215z 135.700 CREW 50 flight check in with ZBW, non-standard in the block 230-240.
Thanks for the extra confirmation of 326.375 as a MA F15 freq. Much appreciated! The 319.100 freq was ZBW as they were headed back North through Maine towards home. I did not catch them on any A-A freqs unfortunately.I also saw that 326.375 freq posted someplace and it said it was the MA F15s. Added to my A-A list but havent heard anything on it yet. I usually only pick them up when they are in the ADKs Airspace. Was 319.100 a A-A freq for Vimy or a uhf center freq? Don't hear alot from my Canada list.
Nice Ed! Yeah we both figured some serious photo ops going on.... LOLA couple more pics from NORAD and their write up:
The Continental U.S. NORAD Region coordinated the launch of NORAD aircraft February 29,2024, as part of Operation NOBLE DEFENDER to conduct intercept training operations with U.S. Strategic Command B-1 bombers as the bombers entered the Air Defense Identification Zone off the east coast of North America. Participants included NORAD F-15 aircraft from the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing, KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft from both the Pennsylvania Air National Guard’s 171st Air Refueling Wing and the Maine Air National Guard’s 101st Air Refueling Wing. CF-18 aircraft from the Canadian NORAD Region also participated in the operation. NORAD conducts sustained and dispersed operations under OND to validate the missions of aerospace warning, aerospace control and maritime warning.
Try this. Hope it works!Nice Ed! Yeah we both figured some serious photo ops going on.... LOL
Do you have the web link to Norad photos?
Thanks!
Rgr 228.000 and 341.750 were A/A.. 315.900 was tanker contact boom.. They sure moved fast out of here NE bound?Was the 228.000 and 315.900 freqs A-A for Death flt or for AR? I had them on a bunch of ZOB centers and 341.750
Just to chime in, I had nothing on recordings from that flight. Not sure if they came up this way.Rgr 228.000 and 341.750 were A/A.. 315.900 was tanker boom.. They sure moved fast out of here NE bound?
B-2's at altitude sure have kicking radios.. I was copying them coming thru WV area into Maryland.
Yeah Ed now thinking they turned around at Harrisburg and went back West or NW perhaps.. Sure disappeared fast.Just to chime in, I had nothing on recordings from that flight. Not sure if they came up this way.
Three of the B-2's DEATH 21, DEATH 22, and DEATH 23 passed over my location in SE Ohio around midnight local time (March 1) heading west.Yeah Ed now thinking they turned around at Harrisburg and went back West or NW perhaps.. Sure disappeared fast.
They were dropping down after Harrisburg for supposed tanker and lost them after that.
Reminds me of some years ago when B-2's did night bombing drill exercise over Susquehanna River just South of Harrisburg practicing bombing power plant on their old 388.850 A/A freq. Joking on radio that those folks down there don't realize they just got bombed..
Pob not the callsign..Earlier tonight had Convoy 3287 self id as Navy C-130 #313 inbound for the Navy ramp req 15k fuel.2103L - CAPX01 off KNGU Chambers Field/NAS Norfolk in the rainstorm. Callsign not on the list.
I'm 99% sure he hit his 243.000 emergency beacon as he was transiting over me in Chi/NW Indiana area. 243 came up with the warbling tones and was extremely strong and faded off into the distance. Be interesting to note if anyone else heard/tracked him.18:55 EST TACO33 12-5755 C130 just landed at KPHL and taxied to General Aviation ramp.
