1100 local- RAVEN flts working at the Warren Grove range 283.1
1415- Raven flt up on discrete (228.1) & w/Harrisburg A/D (281.525) probably headed to the Kiowa Range.
While doing a quick scan of the airspace across PA at ADS-B Exchange, I noticed that there are two low level aircraft that keep appearing as TIS-B hits south of Pittsburgh. I guess I am still a bit fuzzy about TIS-B. Are these going to be military aircraft whenever you see these hits or would they also be federal or local law enforcement? Since the fed aircraft (DOJ, DHS, etc) can now turn off their ADS-B transponder when working surveillance, could it be them? The one I had highlighted when I took the screen grab certainly appears to be moving like a helo, tracking the river.

The one at 1500 is probably a helicopter. Got to listen to ATC to figure it out.
The other with the overlapping icon is N293PC.
I did tune in to ATC on liveatc.net to see if I could catch anything for the suspected helo heading along the river. No dice.
Of course, the next questions is, how did you arrive at N293PC from ~2B4469?
0730- Couple of DE ANG C-130s Trek 01 (#96-1005) & Castle 50 (#84-0212) off Newcastle. Just heard them check in w/Potomac (12.65) for landing at Andrews. With Griffin CP (378.1) advising they will be ERO for onload. Griffin advises no ERO & they will have to shut down for onload.
...check in w/Potomac (12.65) ?????
