NC Mil-Air Discussion Thread

Had a jet fly over my house earlier today, didn't have my scanner on though.

Will be scanning tonight since there's a race tonight and tomorrow, as well as next week.

I was in Lancaster today for the Palmetto Thunder airshow. They had a F/A 18 Hornet Demo around 3:25, not sure where your QTH is. The Hornet was cleared direct CLT after the demo.

Also, just got buzzed by flight of 3 jets on Lake Norman. Didn't have the scanner handy but I'm sure it was the flight that did the flyby at Lowes. Looked like F16s maybe.

STONE 31 (AV-8's) working over Piney Island/BT-11 doing laser guided munitions practice on the barge and SAM sites....then giving a newbie on his wing his first taste of NVG experience....getting experience with all light levels from ground objects....after that, a really cool flight tour of the down east area using the NVG's, narrated by the instructor in the lead AV-8....marking cars driving on the beach on Core Banks/Cape Lookout...he notes that the moonlight reflection on the water is too bright for the NVG's....can tell different heights of vegetation on a perfect night like tonight....looking at all the sites in Beaufort and then Oriential/Bayboro in the 'dark' before RTB Cherry Point... Runway 23 with the lights down on the field.


...always neat listening...

Yep, I saw the three jets fly over my house for the race. They didn't show them on tv so I figured there wasn't going to be one so I went outside to finish cooking on the grill, and over they went... :-(

Sigh... oh well, there's always next week.

Had same from up here. I had DRAGNET coordinating them on 301.025 but never did here the MIGS. I figured DRAGNET must have been between me and them and the MIGS were well south. (WAG). I did hear DRAGNET reference that MIG 02 was dead. I never did here DRAGNET mention MIG 03 at all. Was probably just calling off intercept instructions to MIG 01 and just did not reference there being a MIG 02.

Got buzzed twice today on Lake Norman by a flight of 4 f-15s. I'm sure they were here for the pre-race fly-by at Lowes. Of course I didn't have the radios near by. Did anyone snag the A/G comms for the fly-by. I assume the same freq will be used tomorrow night. They usually have a pretty cool series of fly-bys before the 600.

Twice? Man, they must have had to circle around again to get the timing right.

Didn't hear a thing... I had just about every VHF freq programmed from Atlanta Center into the scanner as well... not even a blip... they flew over my house again. I'll probably get a picture tomorrow to show you how close I am to the track. (and hopefully find the frequency they're transmitting on)

I hope they have the stealth bomber again, that thing is site to see fly-by!

Alright, I got something. 307.8000 "Flying 5 thousand, requesting 3 thousand for Nascar"

EDIT: Can't understand the callsign, but he just requested to change the holding pattern to 15 miles Northwest of the speedway.

 

[tactcom42]

Just heard comms on 269.225 all he said so far was direct nasacar.hope to post more soon!

 

[tactcom42]

307.800 looking for 1500 to start the run!

 

[nitroboie]

IRON71 is the callsign, they just flew over. It was actually a total of five, but only four did the actual flyover. They re-joined after making a left turn and ascending to five-thousand. They're heading back to Raleigh now.

 

[tactcom42]

hearing air to air comms on 357.100.cant make out call signs.


just talking about timing and turning at the right time.was going to be sweet.

Also nice air to air comms about food going on now on 237.800

There were two flights of cargo planes (C-130s?) into Douglas today. The first one was around 330PM, the 2nd was about 10 minutes ago (940PM). My scanner got reset and I hadn't got around to putting the milAIR frequencies back in yet. Did anyone hear any of the action?

 

[blinddog50]

Had a couple of Apaches fly over the house today.
Nitro, with the 130's and the flight of Apaches today it may be something leftover from G.W.'s visit at Furman last week.
I doubt it but it's possible.
They have to move a lot of equipment for a Presidential visit.
