TESTER is the callsign - generally T38 aircraft from PAX River but could be other types as well

Terry,

Looks like they are refueling some NJ ANG F-16s. Hearing NJ ANG on 294.725 & then on 269.0 advising the tanker they will start refueling in the area of Bellaire (ZOB) which is 307.075.

 

[TerryPavlick]

DIXIE using 269.00 for air refueling with F16s (from Atlantic City) who are talking air/air on 294.725

Terry,

ADS-B has Dixies & Elvis leaving from Atlantic City. Are F-16s also working on 261.0. NJ ANG F-16s deploying somewhere? Sounds like 4 F-16s.

Ron - the F16s from ACY using callsign HELL are using 294.725 for air/air (chatting away). Not sure about deployment.

Correct and I tried to tune in a few SDR online radios to continue to monitor them but not enough available in the right direction. And I was guessing most of the questions correct too !!

DIXIE 72 now airborne on 285.400 with Washington Center..now on 363.00

Yea, me too. These pilots need to brush up on their Trivia knowledge.

Where do you find the VHF/UHF SDRs?

They are about 150 miles away from my QTH and looks like I've lost them.

1135- Dixie 72 (KC-135R # 61-0318 AE04CB) off ACY and working ZDC Casino (285.4). Another flt of F-16s leaving?
