AXEMAN flight of four A-10s leaving MTN. Sounds like they're over the Martinsburg area. 254.25 > 285.6
A>A 266.6

1437 AXEMAN on ZDC 282.2 coordinating for Evers MOA.
Ask if there is any reason they can't use 228.1 (Kiowa Range freq).

0345 local Coast Guard 2004 HC-130J doing low level search pattern off South Jersey Coast near Wildwood NJ
at only 1300 feet. Interesting perfect 25 mile leg pattern by 1 mile wide shift to Northeast.
They must have macro search programs they can select in auto pilot to be so perfect.
CGR2004 came out of Elizabeth City tonight.

1209- Backy 51 & 52 (KC-767) air to air on 388.850 over NC. I have heard them before on this freq.

 

[HM1529]

See my morning post Ron.. Had no tankers for a while.. There was a KC-135 out of Pittsburgh
that went up and rtb right away leaving CAP with no tankers.

If this was shared, my apologies. I haven been checking this forum for a while. I did a quick look back through and didn't see anything posted.

This would be why there was a quick RTB:

Tanker plane released fuel over Westmoreland County during in-flight emergency, Air National Guard says

Residents in several municipalities reported a fuel odor around 8 a.m. Saturday, according to the Westmoreland County Department of Public Safety.

The Egyptian AF C-130s visit Northrop Grumman facilities at BWI. They usually drop off or pick up avionics for the Egyptian AF F-16 fleet. I sometimes run across them at our local mall scarfing up jeans and other clothing to take back home & sell.
