Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2020

I'm going to share my big list of air freqs. Change the extension to csv then open with Excel. It's not going to have all the original formatting.
It has all ZDC, but only some of the adjacent ARTCC freqs, basically the sectors close enough for me to receive. My complete list of ARTCC freqs are in separate sheets of my master xlsx.

It's focused around NOVA and what's within range. Though I do have some other stuff that is a little out of the region, but within my travels.
It includes some military service commons and some A>A stuff that may be heard when passing through.

Travis,

Thanks for sharing your list. Very useful.

Good morning Mid-Atlantic guys,

I've got two of your TEAMs up here in Maine right now doing training on AR-204. Been listening to them to see if they are using their VHF freqs. No joy on that. What I do find peculiar is that lately they are choosing to use their training freq of 268.025 for all their refueling comms instead of using the refueling track primary frequency. Today is no different. Chatting away on 268.025 for boom freq.

Are they working with the MAINE tankers or just practicing refueling from one KC10 to the other ? If they are doing intrasquad refueling - maybe it is easier to train using their own freq versus the Primary freq (although they are probably monitoring it in anther radio).

Just a thought.

Roger that, Terry. Yes, the MAINE tanker was running late and is now working one of the TEAMs on AR-212 using the Primary freq 238.9 Your thought is correct, they chatted away while together. Once the MAINE came up and they split up, they contacted MAINE on AR212 Primary.

Seeing a different type of callsign on a RCH aircraft, just curious if any one knows what it means. RCHA612 07-8613 AE293A C30J over Alabama headed west. Have not seen the A in the RCH callsign before.

Also, while not actually military, N639CS A85F6E B734 headed north from the NC/SC line is USMS Federal Prisoner Transport (JPATS). Left OKC with stop in Savannah GA this morning.

Watched RCH285T, 97-0046, AE07F8, make it's way from ADW to Colorado Springs. The Air Force Academy graduation ceremonies on Saturday 4/18 will be having a T-Birds fly over, wondering if they'll also have an unannounced guest from Washington, even though an Academy spokesperson confirmed that it would be a video address this year from the Vice President.

Vice President Mike Pence to give commencement address to Air Force Academy Class of 2020

The vice president won't be there in person. Instead, he'll be doing it over video.

The XLSX just has the ARTCC and other stuff from this site's wikis. The ARTCC stuff hasn't been updated in years.

I've had to make some changes to the file I attached earlier.

I commented on this flight once before. I couldn't find any explanation for the 'A'. But that flight is a regular one to Honduras.
