Around 1000 (I think) I heard some chat on 271.4. Thought it was normal MD ANG stuff so didn't pay much attention at the time

1615- Talon 1 check in at FL240 w/ZDC Snow Hill (236.825). Been watching him come down from Pease and was surprised that I didn't hear him until now.

That was them. As per visuals down there (not me), 14 jets total took off, 2 spares came back. Followed the tankers as long as I could on ADSB.

Saw short vid clip of RAPTOR-01 F-22 Langley tail FF doing Travis airshow this past weekend..
Raptor-1 team is off till April 20 date down in Florida way so may hear from time to time practicing in the area.

The Ocean City MD airshow is pushed back to late August this year instead of usual Mid June booking.
No T-Bird or Blue Angels this year as very rare that happens but F-22 demo. Scuttlebutt says Blue Angels were not happy about trans options from Wallops Island.
Blue Angels will still be in town in late May for usual Naval Academy graduation.
Also no T-Birds or Angels at Atlantic City airshow in August as well also a First...

Air Dot Show Ocean City

The OC Air Show returns to Ocean City, Maryland on August 24-25, 2024 featuring the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori!

Heads up--Looks like 7th FTS T-38 (Talon1) might be headed up to Pease.

Thanks for the heads up today Ron. Unfortunately, I was at work and missed them. If i was home I would have tried to catch them on A-A freqs. I did however, catch them on every UHF ZBW, Portland, Bangor, and Pease freq known to man! They even checked in a couple times on "OLD" ZBW UHF freqs that haven't been used for years but I keep them in the scanners because, "you never know"! From my recordings, they came up into Maine and went to Bangor first. Then as they were heading South, they popped over to VR-840 working FAA on 255.4 letting them know they were going to be in the route for twenty minutes at 500 feet, 360 ground speed. After VR-840 they went to Pease for some Pattern work before landing. A nice tour of the area for a days work! Callsign used was TALON 01 flight of two but showing TN01 on ADSB.

Nothing here Mark. I even had the MD A-10 freqs running just in case this flight happened. No AR, A-A, nothing. Must have been too low and too far South for my reception. Oh well...

Yeah Ed judging by tanker routes they were low at about 16k and turned East a ways South of Nantucket.
Not surprised but Thanks for listening

Last night RCH-740 KC-135 #62-3543 departed Andrews Eastbound around 0100z
then came back home around 0330z on CP 351.200 reported alpha-3 no emergency and missed the writeup.

Seems the US picked up the first of some 22 Swiss F-5's to bring back to the US for various purposes.
Looks like in photo was picked up by Texas RANGER-92 KC-130J #168068.

Looks like 82-8000 is doing patterns at ACY?

1005- Venus 31 (C-37 # 99-0402) working Griffin CP (378.1) advising they are RTB ADW. Want info unspecified passed on to SAM-4.

1010- Blackjack 1 (CG MH-65D) working Huntress (139.7) in intercept exercise. Using formatted message to report TOI info. Blackjack calls Bigfoot instead of Huntress. Bigfoot makes several refs to "exercise". Conditions good since I can hear Bigfoot controller.

1017- Couple of McGuire KC-46s (Hobey 41 & 42) on A2A (378.85) currently over Norfolk VA. Alo working Giantkiller (118.125) requesting entry into AR 636 at block FL-260-280.

99-0404 did a few racetracks and now headed northeast, but did not land (yet)
