Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2020

[Mark]

Not sure who other than first names, but someone is operating locally on 136.275. Mentioned New York was coming down tonight.

Copied that way up here L+C mentioned 2200 hours from New York at FL7.1k. Odd you copied the same way down your way.
Have that freq labeled as FBI/DEA freq though never hear anything on it.
Watching news cams over Philly and surprisingly quiet
2110 local same on 136.275 mentions you will only get one downlink from 1 aircraft instead of many.

Notice on ADSB all the TV choppers are down and offline over DC,Balt and Philly and
lots of Army Lakotas instead over all 3 cities.. Hmm. Feds taking over.
Even the local Police choppers are gone.

Not seeing that @Mark N933HD is Phily news media, N98CL is a DC news helo, and two MD state helos plus Baltimore city.

 

[RaleighGuy]

Here's an interesting helo though, N613TC, is owned by T A F Y Consulting a known FBI shell company that often flies over presidential conventions.

CENTURY 7 and another CENTURY flight with DCA tower on 134.35 leaving the downtown DC area.

There is also an FBI plane showing up on ADS-B as JENA120 making fairly tight orbits around downtown DC for the past few minutes. Showing 16,475 ft. - wonder what kind of sensors they have.

136.275 - unid aircraft talking about how it is quiet right now and establishing a downlink with Command 1

 

[listen13579]

Are the DC NG UH-72's CENTURY or SENTRY?

Whichever one it is - CENTURY 6 flight with DCA tower leaving the area to the south. It's showing as AE0D0B on ADS-B.

Seems the UH-72's did some close crowd control work in DC.

Using military helicopters to intimidate U.S. citizens is certainly a new tactic in the ongoing crisis.

Is there a way to ID aircraft by these TIS-B hits? I had two Ospreys fly overhead a little while ago and when I checked, they showed up this way. There were also a few other TIS-B htis on the screen at the time.

It's SENTRY.

No, those identifiers are not fixed to an aircraft.

Pair of V-22s just passed overhead heading south now. I also heard, but could not see, something else very loud flying overhead earlier this afternoon (sounded like V-22's as well).

This is over the King of Prussia metro area in SE PA.

1656- Waldo 21 (KC-135R # 58-0010 AE0499 108th AW NJ ANG WRI) land at ADW. Haven't heard the Waldo callsign being used by the 108th awhile.

 

[FIREBOX2914]

TORCH 60 from Peoria, 02-4452, 09-0015, PAT104 all dropped in right before WALDO.

 

[FIREBOX2914]

SKULL62 86-0419 & RCH1110 99-0169 look inbound.

 

[HM1529]

13-72281 has been orbiting Philly for several hours now as an aerial observation platform. Came out of FTIG. Philly PD has their own helo in the air, too.

 

[FIREBOX2914]

ELVIS39 95-0104 came in from CHS.
TORCH12 94-6702 & Unkn ID 96-0006 tracking for ADW.

1653- Scan 04 (CRJ-7 N804X AAF2C6 NGTF) working w/Wizard (unid control) on discrete (123.225). Long orbits between BWI & Harrisburg PA area. Working ZNY Harrisburg (132.2). Has been working all afternoon. Based on what I hear, I think that Wizard is some sort of ground data reception/controller.
