Looks like everyone is ready to get out of DC for the weekend, POTUS heading south to Mar A Largo and VP going to Ohio. Looks like VP is also going to Youngstown/ East Palestine, OH on the 3rd, possibly for the 2nd anniversary of train derailment there.
Looks like a busy military flight night tonight.
OT: Looks like this evening a Canforce tanker CFC3328 A-310 #15004 dragged some CF/18's from Trenton to Wyoming/Colo area

O.T. Posted on another list
0617z 31 Jan 25
11175.0 was active at 0010z 30 Jan 25 with HOUSE TOP broadcasting their daily new UTC day communication test count. USSTRATCOM CP. Normal, except HOUSE TOP was their 29 Jan 25 callword. No follow up/revision heard.
1616z IMPURITY (E6B; believed to be BIDE 47 ex TINKER) called ARMY ANT (NCS HFGCS); but, within seconds ARMY ANT became active with a 48-character EAM "3Z36BX."
1621z IMPURITY called and raised ARMY ANT and entered the net.
1625z immediately after completing the challenge process IMPURITY called BLACK BODY with no response. This immediately called to mind the 29 Jan 25 UNANIMOUS numerous calls to WESSON OIL.
1636z ARMY ANT broadcast a 30 character EAM 3ZPO3G.
1713z IMPURITY called BACK BODY with no response. Within 15 minutes of the call to BLACK BODY, IMPURITY/BIDE 47 entered the first of two tight racetrack orbits near Santa Fe, New Mexico and Albuquerque, NM. Very similar to the 29 Jan 25 activity of UNANIMOUS except the 29 Jan activity was in the midwest (which had weather on 30 Jan 25.) His racetrack orbits can be followed on ADSB mapping sites.
2158z IMPURITY called BLACK BODY. BLACK BODY (good levels; processed sounding audio) eventually called and raised IMPURITY for exchange of signal checks and gone. (29 Jan 25 calls to WESSON OIL eventually produced a response from HOUSE TOP, USSTRATCOM.)
2214z IMPURITY called ARMY ANT with no known response. At this time BIDE 47 was descending toward TINKER. Exiting the net (if done) was not heard on 11175.0.
The above loggings ignore the very active traffic activity of ARMY ANT beginning at 1236z.

Scanning since the age of crystal scanners.
Much of the early news reporting was complicated by the reporters not understanding that DCA airline and helo flights are on different freqs and they therefore left the impression that the helo pilot did not acknowledge the traffic instructions re the CRJ. He did.
A national newspaper missed that as recently as this morning. My guess even the first night was that he was looking at the wrong aircraft and thought he was safe. And new reporting consistently indicates he was at or near 400 feet instead of the necessary 200.
The transition from the Rwy 1 approach to the Rwy 33 approach, while quite legitimate and executed properly, is quite common in view of the winds. It does, however, mean that the decent is much closer to the eastern shore (Bolling). Nothing wrong with this, but in the case of the conditions in the previous two paragraphs it put the two aircraft in close proximity. It also requires a left turn on close final and that would explain why the CRJ was hit on the side and why the helo pilot couldn't see the very bright CRJ landing lights easily.
I'm quite familiar with flying over the area and everything about this is quite common except the altitude and location of the helo.

Since the crash is civilian can we please keep it in the thread about the crash and leave this thread for military traffic. Thanks
Large Commercial Aircraft Down
Units handling a major aircraft accident. Reports of commercial plane vs a helicopter down in the river. Reports of 60 possible patients on board. Rescues in Progress. Maryland State Police Aviation being requested to assist with rescues in the water.
FIST-02 #20-46072 off McGuire NW Bound for PHNL
Maybe the B-'1s out in Guam are working their way back soon.
Sounds like DRAGO-51 flight coming North ZDC 236.825>Sea Isle 281.450.
Rainy day so maybe was someone else headed North. Mentioned arrival and seemed headed towards Boston perhaps.
Got a Reach-162 C-17 doing run to MHLM Honduras today.

Agree. What is out now is pure speculation. Let's let the NTSB do a proper investigation.Since the crash is civilian can we please keep it in the thread about the crash and leave this thread for military traffic. Thanks

FIST is usually a callsign used for USMC/USN Hornets or Growlers. I see a FIST92 off McConnell also westbound.

1550- AF2 (C-32 # 99-0004) off ADW heading west.
09-0018 filed to KMCF, probably SAM47 for the weekend trip to PBI.
Also, new restrictions on helicopter traffic over the Potomac, with exceptions including POTUS helo...

Apologize for the OT post, the aircraft in question is a Learjet 55 XA-UCI. Departed RWY24 KPNE. Appears to be a medical aircraft?
