Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[mdmonitor]

EAM starting now. Strongest for me on 4724, really low noise. The station is PLEASURE.
E-6B 162783 SHADOW91 over central VA.

Now have BAREBACK with PLEASURE on USAF GCS to authenticate the message. I wonder if this has to do with POTUS arriving at home.

Usually when you hear hear these authentication msgs they are related to a platform (E-6B or E-4B ABNCP) coming into the net or exiting the net.

Just curious--what kind of antenna are you using for HF?

1940- Rare night acty at PAX. Two acft (no call heard) working on test discrete (365.7). Acty is some sort of maneuvering using night vision goggles. Pilots raving about ease of use and goggle resolution. One of the acft is Salty Dog 422 (prob F-18) working PAX approach (362.6).

1945- Sam 925 (C-37 # 18-1942) inbound to ADW. Had left this PM and went up to Hanscom Field, outside of Boston.

 

[mdmonitor]

2000- After 52 (KC-10 # 79-1947 AE020D) working on A-A (268.025) w/unheard acft. Advises they are over Harrisburg heading out to Manta (off NJ coast). The unheard acft might be Opec 28 (KC-10 # 79-1710 AE01DC) who looks to be heading out to the same area as After 52.

2015- Noble 01 working ZDC Brooke (285.45) cleared to block FL260-270. Then working ZDC Franklin (235.625) on way to Savannah.

2042- Topcat 8 (KC-135R # 68-0003 AE0139) & Topcat 7 (KC-135R # 62-3508 AQE05A5) on AR 636 primary (238.9) coordinating for AAR.

I think JUICY flight of two,three? are just doing a Lajes loop then coming home via UK.
QID 837,838 going out to meet them just South of Ireland now.
I guess the TIGERS were 3 B-2's who landed Lajes for quick refuel.
B-2s land at Lajes Field to join historic BTF > Press Releases

Understand the TIGER B-2's landed Fairford UK tonight after Lajes stop.. Not sure where two JUICY Buffs ended up as was out.

2140 Saw AFTER-52 way offshore briefly and now on ZDC 363.000 heard a TIGER-23 it seems.

 

[AirScan]

now on ZDC 363.000 heard a TIGER-23 it seems.

Pulled the tapes (LiveATC), TIGER 23 handed off from 363.000 to 121.925/346.375 at 2140L.

Prior to that TIGER23 ZNY 282.3 > ZNY 270.3> to your references

That would put them on more of a southwest track. Not direct back to Whiteman ? And now SPUR 73 eastbound.

 

[AirScan]

00:09L SPUR 73 MARSA with JUICY 02, Gander (YYT LiveATC).
00:12L SPUR 73 to 118.600 Moncton

Busy day/night and milair was only background. However, fairly certain the B2s didn't land in the UK (the 100ARW tankers that supported them are TDY at Fairford for the week so that could have lead to confusion). Followed three to Lajes but only noticed two depart after the hotpit.

Also a mention of JUICY buffs earlier...only one of those came into Europe. JUICY 01 rtb (as air spare or due to the multitude of tankers available from 100th not carrying three star?). JUICY03 turned around and went back later on due to lack of refuelling capacity leaing only number to to continue to the Med..

 

[Mark]

Saw USAF news and seems B-2s will be TDY ar Lajes for a while..

Potus CAP up?. sounded like fighters flying overhead over here in Delaware above the thick clouds.

 

[BM82557]

C-32 09-0016 appears to be heading to ILG on ADS-B X,

KC-135 60-0320 is on station in the CAP

The third B2 TIGER23 dept Lajes 19.25z sometime after the first two departed & went north, turning for home just south of Iceland. Id expect TIGER23 went straight back to the US from Lajes direct.

 

[AirScan]

Id expect TIGER23 went straight back to the US from Lajes direct.

TIGER 23 odd routing back to Whiteman once in US Airspace, was cleared via ENE-BAF-BAL-GSO-HNN-FWA-CGT-MSN-SPI.

0912- Slam 02 working ZDC Dupont (307.25) in block FL230-270. Advises he has Banker in sight.

 

[RaleighGuy]

09-0015 flying around, interesting since it's supposed to be Marine 1 taking him back.

Slam 200 (sounded like 200 may have been 2) told to hold off on AR, asked if he should return to track and told stay with tanker since he was there. Looking for possible early departure.

Motorcade left the church at 9:06 AM. Marine 1 scheduled to depart Wilmington for Washington DC shortly.
