Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[Mark]

Where were those F-35s trying to get to ? Looks like they diverted BLUE 82 back east for the CAP and BLUE 81 is now heading east after doing a couple orbits. BLUE 81-82.

BLUE-82 NJ ANG has the CAP. Bet they weren't expecting that this morning.. Keep closer to home.
Thought I heard GASMAN had only 20k fuel left to give or two A/R's.
MAINE-92 went into Andrews.
NOBLE-11,12 coming in will get their topoff from GASMAN on boom 247.050

LUKE AFB forecast Sunny 72 degrees.. Scott AFB forecast Cloudy with rain tonight 52 degrees.
Yeah BLUE 81 got short end unless they can get them back up today and on their way.

BLUE 81 got the short end of that stick on that one. On their way home to McGuire then end up at Scott. Might have to sit there for crew rest then take the F-35s to Luke tomorrow ?

I thought it was unusual to state "for air to air"

They are referencing TACAN air-to-air mode, to monitor range(DME) from each other. They need to be 63 (MHz) channels apart for it to work. 29-92 is a common split for A-A, easy to remember.

POTUS has a good weather call so they will be taking Marine One from Delaware directly to the South Lawn. No specific timing for his departure or arrival yet but lid was called at 10:43 a.m. until 2:45 in Delaware and 5 p.m. In DC, so doubtful it will be earlier than that.

Thanks for the update. Need to add some tags to the feed once the CAP is over so that things are better to understand.
285.450 Washington Center still is suffering from interference at my feed site so I cannot have that one active, usually used leaving the CAP southbound. If anybody has any other frequencies that could be added to the feed scan - let me know.

Will be adding 311.000 since I heard GASMAN trying to call Blue flight on that one prior to Blue joining the CAP.

Watching the traffic cams - they will probably have to modify the route to the airport. A bit of an early summer traffic jam northbound in Delaware

It's been a busy CAP weekend, I'm not sure how much I would have heard but since I replaced an old ST2 antenna with a DPD Productions Air Omni UHF/VHF Base Antenna. Based on past CAP activity, it seem to have made a drastic improvement on what I was receiving. With the new antenna, I also added new cabling, RG8X with the right ends, eliminating the connectors/adapters that I was using before with the old RG6 Quad cable. Thanks all for the detailed posts.

Wonder who got the luxury flight aboard 98-0002 today coming out of DC and nearing Alaska, Sec'y of Defense or Sec'y of State? Though I'm betting the Sec'y of Defense is on the smaller GLF5, 97-0401 SAM923 headed northwest .

It does seem to be avoiding flying over the Canadian Maritimes. Connect the dots and I see what you mean.
