They were F-15's from the MA 104th fighter wing Mike. I don't believe this activity was related to any combat air patrol. Pretty much a routine NORAD training exercise.

Correct....CAP over NYC....2 aircraft SLAM 35 & 36...don't know what type of A/C they are. Could be F22s out of Langley or F15 out of Barnes.
Its been an active Yankee CAP on 260.9 since 11 am...they're getting ready to refuel again. Using ZNY also on 134.55 just for the CAP.

Thank Tech! Yep I caught SLAM-35 heading back to Barnes so defiantly the 104th at the Yankee CAP. Also the KILLER and RAGE flight I was monitoring at the time was working in W105 so guess I was hearing two different events. They were working Giant Killer and Huntress tracking targets 300.125. Good day for milair monitoring!

 

[Tech792]

Yes correct.....I too heard the earlier exercise around the same time about 1030 am or so. I was briefly confused myself.

SLAM is a regular call sign of the Barnes boys, most often used during CAP or real world situations, but are Barnes F-15's.
