Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2024

[pro106import]

Nantucket CAP still ongoing. They are talking about the wx. Still OK that way for a while still. A-A chit chat on 264.85 today with the Barnes boys. One aircraft is still 5 kc off frequency. Been that way for a looong time.

Happy Thanksgiving fellas!

Or the same combined US/UK special ops team who blew holes in some of the Nord Stream gas lines?


To date there has been a complete lack of factual objective information about the drone activity.

Certainly very easy to launch small quadcopter type things around Lakenheath / Mildenhall without being seen. Far easier than launching them from the sea and navigating it to the area of those bases.

Hmmmm...

The Germans said, they took multiple Ukrainian citizens in custody, the suspects are alleged to have carried out the sabotage acts on the Nord Stream pipeline.

Maybe an argument to withold Taurus deliveries, who knows...

And another OT, but might give us more interesting Mid-Atlantic mil comms, depending on the ongoing developments.

Another extremist group started to seize multiple areas in Syria, so far only Russian and Syrian pro-regime forces were attacked.

Hopefully the BUFF's will soon throw some 2k pounders on them...

This was an unannounced trip not on his schedule. Wonder if he was summoned or asked for an audience with DJT.

Nah just politics. Trudeau has lots of problems with Postal strike etc so his call.
He may be on the way out anyhow politically.
Seems his jet filmed on the way in so guess someone saw this coming.
