[freqhopping]

Just getting this started. No noteworthy action right now.


But I see the airshow is returning to Andrews this year with both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. I'll be going Friday for sure.

Rare those two units fly same show date
Also see the Moody A-10 demo team is scheduled at Andrews that weekend.

The next Red Flag is about two weeks way (Jan 26th) and apparently they're getting ready. A new video released by the DOD today shares some great shots of EA-18Gs during Red Flag Operations at Nellis AFB, Nevada.

Interesting to actually see/hear from the pilot doing the flyover at Monday's NCAA Championship Football game.

Yeah a U-2 is pretty rare for stadium flyover, Hopefully won't be at 50k feet LOL
Saw lineup somewhere on next Red Flag.. Lots of West Coast based aircraft and RAF,RAAF as well.
Nothing from out our way.

 

[screenersam]

never seen me one of these
DeHavilland Dash-8 in Army colors
I guess they use the gray dash-8 to chase the black helos

The military designation is RO-6A, see the links below -

Nice pic Sam.. Been logging that Army Dash 8/RO-6A 15-00358 a lot recently.
Guess they are giving it a good workout before it goes overseas.

[freqhopping]

Not sure what I heard about NATION07 earlier. Haven't heard any other tanker callsign, so not sure who is in the CAP. Just heard HUNTRESS advise that NATION07 is inbound with relief fighters in trail.

1058- Weak air to air on 233.4.
1100- NOBLE01 getting gas from NATION06. 260.9 > 228.9
1104- More air to air on 324.6. Incoming NOBLE/NATION flight. Asked if they could go secure and they did.

 

[freqhopping]

Stupid 30 minute edit limit.
1104- More air to air on 324.6. Incoming NOBLE/NATION flight. Asked if they could go secure and they did. Back, said they switched to pass the boom frequency. Now up on 247.05.

1109- NOBLE02 now going for gas. 02's modulation sounds off.

NOBLE11 now with HUNTRESS, MARSA with NATION07
233.4 is NOBLE11/12

07 is coming on-station with 10k less fuel than 06 is leaving with.
