Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2020

[mdmonitor]

I think you guys might want to mark 319.175 in as a possible DC ANG freq (in addition to Coronet). From my recordings I had two F-16s come through ZID airspace this afternoon and said “showing 2600 back at Andrews” among a few other references to landing there. CAPITAL 91 went eastbound this morning so this was probably the return leg.

They must have switched to the freq after a mixup, so it may not be one of their usuals:
“Check aux.”
“I had a brain fart trying to figure out what you wanted me to do.”
“It’s like [inaudible] ‘cause they got [inaudible] pri, but it‘s comm 1, and sometimes comm 2 except if you’re a D model.”

Jason

I think you are right. The comms I heard yesterday on 319.175 sounded more like a sqdn tac freq. It fits in a pattern. Their other new Sqdn freq is 238.175.

[Tech792]

From the BCD436 recordings Thursday; 343.0 "has a Ranger battalion", "Martin built a lot of flying boats".
260.900 CAP for AF2?
248.200 Weak comms
227.300 Helos; "Checkpoint Bravo", Helo 3 heading down for Kennedy
261.000 AC CP; "I'm looking for Scary, Angry, they are F16s, I don't know where they are out of".
298.600 Probable a/a CAP, no ids heard
307.250 ZDC Modena, PA weak comms

Rich - N3VMY - KAG0096

I'm pretty sure the COSMICs were up on 260.9 yesterday. I think they were somewhere north of NYC? On the return, heard them go over my location, then said direct Coyle on 282.3. Then heard them on OPS 261.0 with write-ups.

I see 92-9000 leading the way landing Andrews with 82-8000 in trail by 100+ miles
Really spaced apart tonight .. A quick trip.

Also notice earlier this evening SAM500 C-40B 02-0042 into Andrews via Anchorage from Japan.
This tail is based at 86AW/76AS Ramstein.. rare around here..

TEAL 75 #97-5303 off NJ coast this hour at 2500 feet..
Noticed early this morning TEAL 73 96-5300 also was off Va Capes at 2500 feet.. Seems awfully low altitude
for these guys.. Maybe they get more wx info below cloud deck on small Trop storms?

Believe 82-8000 is the AF1 tonight, but I can't be sure, either way they are getting home early, not due in until 9:25

KAWW93 (KC-46A 18-46046) arrived yesterday at Andrews from Travis AFB.
The KAWW callsign seems more or less connected to flights from and to Andrews AFB, any thoughts on this ?

Caught him this past Friday:

0915- Kaww93 (KC-46 Pegasus # 18-46046 AE5F99 ) off ADW heading south. Working ZDC Patuxent (133.9) then check in w/NAS Chambers ATOC (349.5) w/inbound msg.

If he just came in from Travis he's one busy little KC-46

Could be a trip around the USA visiting various tanker units (though no tanker unit at NAS Chambers) to show off the KC-46

I think it sounds like a 97 AMW training callsign
