Listening to at least two entities on 271.0 Mhz at 12:30-12:45PM on 10/2/25. Receiving from 91320.
One pilot discussing fuel issue and describing fuel levels in right & left tank.
Other pilot states Comm team working on alternate radios
One states he's leaving airspace in 5 minutes
Going back to "Rosie"
Performance normal, Bingo is ------
Something about 1700 pounds fuel imbalance with stores landing restriction
Option to go to March
Super long runway, burn off enough fuel, should be good in case anything weird happens
Set up for March 4, to cover all possibilities
Rosie 210, Make left turn to Palmdale

Me in Chase - Don't expect any fuel leak but looking over "for the lawyers"
Not cleared to March 4
Pushing 320, want to slow down to 300
Go to lateral route /Magic en route to Palmdale
Don't think anything's wrong with the jet, continuing
Going below 14,000

271.0 is NORAD/ WADS. In southern CA it's used by the CA ANG alert fighters out of March on an almost daily basis. Although the alert a/c are usually a detachment from the CA ANG base in Fresno, sometimes the alert a/c are from other tactical AFB's (Nellis AFB in Las Vegas as an example).

Rosie is an aircraft waypoint fix Near Rosemond,, usually enroute to Edwards AFB,, which was possibly the "Long runway" as they have the dry lake options.
