You left out the good one where one of the MD A-10's landed short and hit street
sign and markers while practicing regular road landings... oops! No serious damage except for right wing flap and all finally straggled home to Martin State
at different times..

Just caught someone talking to ops on 328.3 about experiencing a 2000 horsepower loss in one engine while on approach. In the meantime they're flying around Flat Rock to try some things. Right now there is about a 300 horsepower difference.

You're right. I forgot about the street sign one. I saw it a few weeks ago.

As predicted, Trump CAP is active over NJ with the usual freqs. NATION tankers and NOBLE fighters.
Fighters direct Langley at 1900 local.

Folks, it's long overdue that the Delmarva milcom data we have in the wiki needs to be seriously overhauled. There is a great deal of data from nearly 5 years ago that undoubtedly is no longer any good. Certainly any of the stuff for Combat Air Patrols (CoAP) - we haven't had any regular CoAPs for years now - is very dated and likely should be dropped. It's likely that given Trump's notable disdain for Camp David, that any more CoAPs are going to be few and far between, if they will take place at all.

If you would put your eyes on the data and send your observations to me at ka3jjz (at) comcast (dot) net, I'll begin accumulating and cleaning up the mess. Please put 'Delmarva Milcom' in the subject line so I can start filtering the data and capturing it. Here are the places to start - and remember anything blue is another link. Please be specific with what needs to be changed or dropped, and be sure to give the page's URL... here are the starting points...

Delaware - the RR Wiki

District of Columbia - the RR Wiki

Maryland - the RR Wiki

Virginia - the RR Wiki

Hearing the Blue Angels on 237.8 as they're on the way out of Oceana.

Various international leaders inbound to NYC and Dulles today.
Earlier saw JF002 inbound to Dulles while JF001 went to NYC.
Currently CTM0001 A332 F-RARF inbound to Dulles from NYC.

Midday there was a convoy of Dyess C-130s heading home, from a deployment I suppose.


N2 is currently flying all over the KJYO area, I guess it's more certification for the new tower system there. Last week it was N35.


1745- JF001 20-1102 inbound for Dulles.

715pm heard DEVIL 21 on 305.400 asking about current field conditions there...
Anyone have tieup for 305.400? Have it as A/A Ca ANG freq.

305.4

305.4 is NEW CASTLE, DE KILG tower

 

[Mark]

305.4 is NEW CASTLE, DE KILG tower

Thanks Dom think that was it. KILG about 10 miles away so makes sense.
Don't get many fighters in there so rarely hear that UHF tower freq..
Maybe Atlantic City was having wx problems due to offshore storm and was looking for
a divert stop if needed.

RAF KC3 ZZ336 showing KRF69 departed Dulles about 10 minutes ago.

Travis,

That B-52 landing at Dulles must've caused quite a stir among the civilian population

Lately been hearing NOBLE CAP fighters enroute back Langley req VHF
from ZDC as 236.825 Snow Hill noisy so using VHF 132.550 ZDC Snow Hill instead.

09/21/17 @ 1940 local- Hearing MD A-10's on interplane 271.4 and 149.125 AM (same female pilot on both freqs). Possibly working at the Warren Grove range tonight. The 149.125 freq is a rare catch for me.
