OT: KC Chiefs Football team just made it to Denver for football game tomorrow.
Lots of icing at KC forced airport closure.. Boeing United Airlines Dreamliner N26960 made the trip.
Not a long haul for sure as 1 hour 45 min trip.
Those UAL Dreamliners sure get around.. check out schedule of this one particular plane.

On Monday, January 6, the President and the First Lady will travel to New Orleans, Louisiana, in the afternoon. It will be an interesting test for ADW ground crews with the pending storm, at least POTUS should be headed west after New Orleans stop.

What do you think guys. They change their minds and bump up this flight to tonight?
We haven't had this kind of snowstorm for 10 years.. Wouldn't surprise me if they make a change..

There goes #92-9000 headed towards Atlanta?.. #99-0004 in trail.

Maybe 92-9000 is for Pres Carter in Atlanta later for trip up to DC Tuesday? Supposed to be SAM-39 inbound DC.

Just heard a message on 311.0 around 23:11 local and another at 23:40 local, probably the E-6 REGMA25 Hex: AE0412 ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live . I could hear the phonetics of the message, but from my location, it was down in the dirt.

I checked my logs for the last 4 years and had copied 32 HMX-1 transmissions on 375.0 with 23 of those being on one day, 10/05/2024. 277.175 has been copied a lot more when to/from Camp David.

273.95 has been used in the past as well. 277.175 is referred to as “Control” and used for both A/A and A/G

I am seeing aircraft arriving at KBWI. Mostly Southwest flights.

VINYL-81,91 assume flying two seperate groups of Vermont F-35's westbound just South of Great Lakes.
A lot of wx up Alaska way so maybe gonna stop at Travis instead.Acars has VINYL-91 into KSUU Travis.

POTUS has left the WH enroute ADW in a black SUV rather than the Beast, but trip is happening as planned

Terry, Yea, see them now. They're using the north & west approaches so they're out of my sight & sound.

VINYL81 passed with the F-35’s right over my head here in NW Illinois. Caught some good, solid comms on 314.400. 226.800, 234.800 and boom 391.000.

Nice catch.. Thats several of their favorite A/A freqs for sure..
VINYL-81 seems to have cut receivers over Omaha and going to Travis.Maybe F-35's are making Utah Hill AFB stop
then try for Alaska later.Hill AFB has warmer wx than us at 36 degrees Must have been 6 F-35's per tanker.

Potus took the small plane to NO #09-0015 with #09-0018 as spare?

I did hear SPINE31 and 32 break from VINYL81 and contact Chicago Center on 319.200 a little later, requesting a divert to Offutt AFB in Omaha. There was a SPINE33 in the mix as well. Didn’t have those SPINE callsigns on my list. A lot of action in my neighborhood this morning. I like it!

Last October when they took some Hill F-35's to Hawaii also used SPINE callsign.
I guess a new Altrav fighters callsign for the Pacific region.
