Just noticed IDAHO-17 (ADFE48) back inbound KILG after turns over Philly area tonight.
Have two tails listed for this 95-0100 and above 94-00316.
I always thought IDAHO was a CBP callsign.. Maybe tracking shipment down turnpike to Philly area?
Past history shows this tail all over the US usually using MYSTIC then IVY callsign.

Supporting 4 F-15s returning to RAF Lakenheath from Warner Robins as RETRO 71 flight.

René.
GOLD 22 from Florida dropping into McGuire tonight... Guess they will pick them up out of the South
and take North to Maine and GOLD-23. Suspect a GOLD-21 KC-10 come moving day but my guesses/intel have been
way off this past week, Lately I couldn't pick my nose :)

Imagine walking across dark USAF airbase field perimeter and this 4 legged robot comes at you at 7.5 feet per second.. Yikes!
Tyndall is flat as they come so why not cheaper 4/6 wheeled smart robot with much faster ground speed? Just my 2 cents.
They should test this robot at say Colorado Springs instead :)

2300 local/0400z GOLD-75 KC-10 #83-0079 off McGuire to Europe..
Maybe this is tanker for two leftover F-35B's?
Single KC-10 can easily bring two F-35's home all by itself?
Most likely come Monday or later.

Did anyone up in that area catch any discrete freqs used by Idaho 17? Some sort of MC-12W destined for the CBP after testing?

Lately, have notice some USCG helos out of ACY doing some flts over the Wilmington area.

Wonder is the USCG is going to set up some sort of MH-65D Detachment like they currently have at DCA?

Does anyone know if they use USCG helos for low alt/low speed defense at Mar Lago?

In the article it is mentioned that this is a prototype. and you mentioned that it is very flat. They are probably testing whether or not a wheeled robot would be better suited to this environment. The main reason for 4 legged robots are that they are able to go over obstacles vs. a wheeled vehicle which has to go around them. I know they scare the hell out me. Check out Robopocalypse for a good scary read.

1600 local NATION99 KC-135 #57-1461 off MacDill and doing racetrack FL250 off East Coast near Melbourne Fla.
99 is usually backup CAP callsign number.. Maybe getting up coming Holiday practice down there with local fighters?
There is a SAM129 GLF5 18-1942 headed down that way from St Louis area. Maybe for NASA space launch at 7:35pm?

Live ATC Net says they have added new Dover freqs for listening as of 11/10 2020

yup
Astronauts will fly up east coast

older info - All three of the UHF frequencies (296.8 MHz, 259.7
MHz and 243.0 MHz) are preset in the UHF transmitter and cannot be
altered by the flight crew.

also older info -
The 279.0-MHz frequency
can transmit or receive only among the two EVA astronauts and the
orbiter, not the ground stations.

unknown if these channels are still used
