Just a thought.....maybe COSMICs were doing a dry run for when POTUS is at Bedminster. Fighter stated "practice scrambles/intercepts".
Yeah that is probably a good thought.

1535- PA ANG MC-130J ???-81 (missed first part) working Baton Ops (395.1) w/inbound msg.
Since this thread seems to cover anything east of the Mississippi and sometimes beyond that, I've moved it to the Military Aircraft Spotting forum.
I've left a 1 month redirect in the Maryland forum so everyone can get used to the change.

Yeah that would work for me and my ears
Yes - JERSEY is what I heard too - makes logical sense.
The term Spotting usually refers to the visual seeing of an aircraft. While spotters use radios - there is a big difference between spotting and monitoring -- whether commercial, business or military aircraft.

Perhaps a slight revision to the forum title would make it more general.
Checking tape was ZIPPO-81
MAINE-92 on ZDC UHF reports working MARSA with the COSMIC's of A/C came almost right overhead here said was enroute waypointsMAINE92 overhead, wasn’t watching ADSB but heard the distinct roar of fighters up there. With location of sun and sporadic clouds I couldn’t get a visual but very noisy. Not near my scanner but some of you will probably get A/A.
Departed KBTV, so must have F-35s in tow. That would check out with how loud the chicks were.

I can see that is where he turned around and went back towards Maine and they were doing TOI intercept warning practice..

Mark thanks for the clarification. Those COSMICs were certainly making a lot of noise up there as they came over, and that Burlington departure for the tanker had me thinking VT guard F-35s. Definitely an interesting mission, not something I recall seeing before. Usually those Alert birds have plenty of gas for whatever their tasking is with the external wing tanks, but seems they needed some extra help today. Over the past few weeks I've noticed most of the AC jets are launching without any external tanks.
I did consider it but the Forum description seemed to sum it up nicely:The term Spotting usually refers to the visual seeing of an aircraft. While spotters use radios - there is a big difference between spotting and monitoring -- whether commercial, business or military aircraft.

but CG is.

I knew something was different as this C130 originally took off as CGR2010 (Rescue callsign). I hope this Coastie is found.

They haven't used the UHF tower freq (254.425) for ages. Not sure why. Maybe MTN UHF xmitter out of service?
It's still listed on air nav updated on 1/23/25 active 0600 - 2200.
