What tanker interplane did you have them on? I did monitor the AR-633A/B anchor. From what i gathered it was UPSET 61, 62 (KC-135R, Milwaukee/WI ANG) working with MAKO 11 x 4 (poss Homestead F-16's).

During the first refuel UPSET 61 refueled MAKO 11, 12 and was using primary 240.35 while UPSET 62 refueled MAKO 13, 14 on secondary 343.25

During the second refuel they all stayed on 240.35

The UPSET's were supporting the Vipers during their playtime in the Snowbird MOA deep in the Smoky Mtns.

I'm not sure; I just heard it on my recording. It may have been 240.350 - that's a frequency for Buckeye MOA up here.

Yeah the powers that be screwed the pooch on that frequency by making it AR-633's primary. The AR players are always up when the fighters are up and they have to resort to their backup frequency of 343.25 which is AR-315's primary. So if AR-315 has participants those folks have to go to their back-up. I have no idea why they changed. Seemed like 295.8 (pri) and 319.7 (sec) was doing alright.

ZID-1 track and Charlie A ATCAA are both active this morning - listen for an E-3 that should be flying at that time.

Also monitor the AF1 orderwire (362.250 WFM). POTUS is headed to Cleveland today.

He doesn't have full ADB-s. He only shows ID and flight level along with Mode-s ID, and c/s. Any idea what frequency is referenced by "Horseman"?

About 15 mins ago 1500 local heard SENTRY 61 on HF 13927 (MARS radio) in a phone patch to DRAGNET WEAPONS giving a report. He reported his position as being over Nebraska at the time.
