Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2017

[Mark]

Saw on the news Russian OS supposed to work NJ,NY areas as well..
BTW for folks not familiar with the Open Skies treaty there are also some US crewman aboard to monitor ops.. News tabloid headlines make it seem like a Russian spy plane.. Well sort of.. (For example, installing gear that records radio and radar transmissions as the aircraft flies over a military base is a no-no.)

(In the United States, Russian Aerospace Force aircraft participating in Open Skies must enter the country through Dulles International Airport on the East Coast and Travis Air Force Base on the West Coast. They may operate from Travis AFB, Dulles, Elemendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, and Lincoln Municipal Airport in Nebraska. They may refuel at air bases and airports in Hawaii, Wisconsin, Montana, Arizona, and Tennessee. Likewise, American planes operating over Belarus and Russia operate under similar restrictions.)

I saw it on ADS-B at around 5,800 ft. The track came out of MD, up through the center of NJ near Bedminster (where Trump is) and then hooked west towards PA. I thought it was kind of odd. And I think the NOBLE fighters mentioned a track at that altitude about the same time..

Yes....a buddy of mine spotted the Ospreys going north over Sandy Hook heading to NYC this afternoon. Then about an hour later, they were spotted going back south. Never heard any comms here.

I heard GASMAN reference the AR freq for the mission as YANKEE 92........new channel designators maybe?

And guys thanks for the info on 298.3

Disregard this statement. That was the TACAN he was referring to. Heard it again this morning.

Joint Base Andrews Airshow - Sept. 2017

Just noticed something, scanners have not been allowed at Andrews in the past but the security rules for the Sept. 2017 airshow there don't list them as being prohibited this year = SCHEDULE & INFO - 2017 Andrews Air Show

A few years ago, I got turned around at McGuire's gate for having a scanner. I even tried to argue the point that it wasn't on the "banned items list". But they didn't want to know anything. I had to bring it back to my truck and then return.

08/14/17- On a different note, the Trump CAP fighters have changed. This morning it's SLAM 01/02. And they're using the AMC freq 349.4 as an interplane.
