Meet HITRON an Elite Unit you Probably Never Heard About

Rgr Ron first remember hearing about them back in Al Stern days
He covered them when they were up in his area of Florida.

Only time I ever heard GRIZZLY was Travis C-17 training callsign.
One report says GRIZZLY was B-1 flight.

Not sure if this was mentioned here but seems Offutt AFB main runway is closed for 18 month overhaul
so E-4's and all operating out of nearby Lincoln KLNK.
Air Force command center planes now flying out of Lincoln (ketv.com)

1935 DEECEE-01 KC-135 with their Andrews ops 351.200 "pass message to our receivers that we have to vacate
by 0130z but can drag South for more random A/R if they want"
DEECEE-01 currently NE bound thru NJ at FL33k assume to New England area.. Doesn't give them much A/R time up there.
Seems headed to AR-631 where there are several Res.
1949 local Booming EAM on 8992 HF from Traumatize also weaker simulcast on 11175.

This plane circles the area nearly every day/evening. It is a modified Army Dash 8 from Manassas. I believe it has something to do with Sierra Nevada Corp in Hagerstown doing all the special outfiting.

 

[freqhopping]

Hearing an EAM on 323.8. Had this programmed for Pease CP.
Probably E-6B 164387 over PA.

323.800 - some sort of message being passed ? Anyone else hearing this ?

Beat me to it. Any ideas on what aircraft it was ?

 

[Tech792]

323.8 is usually simulcasted with 311.0
Probably an E6 in the area.
Just checked, there is an E6 just west of Allentown, PA.

323.8 is also a CONUS EAM broadcast freq for the TACAMOs. 294.35 is also another EAM broadcast freq

Morning All,
Bit of a thing I have for the P-8s

The P-8 Patrol Squadrons out of Whidbey should be swapping soon, kick off date is normally 1st April give or take. VP-4 Skinny Dragons & VP-40 Marlins have confirmed to be coming east to LICZ as well as MSLP/OBBS so they will be split up to some degree.
Normal routes taken would be either KNUW>BIKF or KNUW>KBGR>LICZ, Pease has also been used in the past but rarely & mainly by the KNIP squadrons.
If anyone picks these guys up Id most appreciate anything on them.

Some tails to look out for,

Call signs,
Dragon/VVYD/MARLIN/VVQE
