Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[morfis]

Couple C-17's off Dover NE bound.. One tried calling other on 319.400 no joy..
Been a long time since I heard that A/A also ex McGuire CP freq

30/11/30 freq heard this side of the pond a couple of REACH flights (from different units) passing each other along the East Coast had a long chinwag about quarantine rules in various places they'd recently been to. It's only the fact that it was a lengthy chinwag that made me note it.
Also used earlier that month by the Buffs when they were operating out of FFD
Not noticed it in use this year but I tend to ignore REACH callsigns.

On the subject of the Mildenhall tankers out of FFD to support the B2s yesterday I noticed this on Inmarsat Aero:
20:53:56 19-03-21 AES:AE0669 GES:C1 2 .23540S ! 14 B Boeing KC-135R United States Air Force

FTX/ID23540S,QID842,1PR509B3U078/MR1,/FXIS OFFLOAD COMPLETE FOR TIGER 21

(That's not the complete message but I have my reasons to shorten it. Note also that the time is UTC)
There was nothing similar for the other TIGERs earlier in the week

Also echo the comments about Rene (not many of the older European milair people about these days...I miss our chats on IRC).

1459z 260.900 IGOR 53 working HUNTRESS. ETA to the airspace is 1540z entering at FL240.

I'm ASSuming he's 82-0192 KC-10 that took off from Pease since he was booming in here on the tape.

Also, I had no recordings from the TIGER flight returning during the night. Not sure if they came back or possible polar route home.

Was hit by COVID and in the hospital for a few weeks, but slowly recovering and feeling better again ....

René.

So glad you are pulling out of COVID Rene! Wishing you all the best and welcome back to the hobby!

Take it slow and recover well. We missed you!

~1430-ish. Heard a couple of calls on guard 121.5 for various intercepts...one for P40, the other for an aircraft NW of DCA.

 

[bmlure]

the one nw of DCA was over my house in new franklin pa

 

[IQ_imbalance]

1514: IGOR54 taking over CAP refueling from IGOR99. Sounds like they're asking NOBLE21 to stay SE of Frederick and NW of Gaithersburg, then cleared NOBLE11 to RTB?

A couple of Honolulu KC-135s enroute to ADW, HOKU 51-52.

Think I found what your KC-135s were up to on Wednesday, just posted tonight on DVIDS.
