1016 am local AIRGUN 1 with ZDC UHF 3 ship with SNIPER-32 FL230 reports no joy on 307.27
AIRGUN pushes 281.450 then gone offshore to W-105 with SNIPER-32.
1204 AIRGUN 1 a 3 ship at FL280 with SNIPER-32 FL280 pushes ZDC 257.700 on way back in.
That 307.275 seems to be a ZDC low on the way to Sea Isle High 281.450 offshore.
Maybe call it ZDC Del Bay 307.275 not always on Were AIRGUN 1 the two ship 94th FS F-22's at Andrews?
thinking that is why TDY at Andrews to go work W-105 up North.

Guys,

Just checking my notes and saw that I haven't heard AICC 364.2 active for quite awhile. Is is just me or are they not using it much anymore?

 

[mdmonitor]

Terry

Yep, that could very well be it.

Thanks

1455- Score 03 (unid VX-20) working Bay Watch (270.8). Not showing on ADS-B.

 

[Mark]

I heard MONEY-41 sounded like female op 1332 local inbound McGuire.
Future CAP tanker or one of those new funky callsigns.Had 1 writeup and was no doubt a local McGuire pilot.

AirScan, picking up broken comms on the VIPER common freq (226.3). FAA SUA website shows VIPER airspace is active. Do you know what's up there?

 

[GriffissSpotter]

1520 LEATHAL01 3 ship of Barnes F-15s got cleared back direct Barnes ANGB, heard on LiveATC ZBW (UCA09/ART08)
Also an unidentified aircraft under the callsign LAVA01 from NAS Pax River heading NE bound possibly to AR-631.
YANKEE 1 MOA is active as well and LAVA01 could be headed there as well.

Guys,

Latest files. Several changes/additions since last one I posted.

Ok thanks, yeah I wasn't listening. Earlier 13:45-14:15 heard PYTHON 01 and COBRA 01 get cleared into VIPER West, first time I've heard Drones in there.

264.850 Is busy right now. Signal is a little low here in Montreal.

Neat story for you military history buffs

Oyster 1 Bravo: Evasion and Escape in Vietnam | Defense Media Network

The story of the evasion and escape efforts and the rescue of of then-Capt. Roger Locher, call-sign Oyster 1 Bravo, during the Vietnam War.

Any idea what you are hearing on 264.85 ? I'm guessing that LAVA01 is a P-8, related ?

I'm just getting caught up on the archives, in addition to the LETHAL flight there was also a MONSTER 01 flight IDd as F-15s and a DEMON flight. I'm not sure what the Barnes A-A freqs are ?

I was picking up low and broken comms on VIPER common 226.3, so maybe they just use that?
Is the flight DEMON F-22s?

 

[GriffissSpotter]

1557 COBRA01 MQ-9 (174th ATKW/Hancock Field; KSYR) cleared transition to tactical frequency, heard on LiveATC ZBW (UCA09/ART08).

 

[freqhopping]

0E1830 currently active as VVJA336. PIONEER336 I suppose.

Similarly screwed up hex as another MH-60 using 0E1838.

 

[AirScan]

Is the flight DEMON F-22s?

DEMON flight was cleared to RTB Barnes so I assume F-15s. That callsign is also listed as Langley F-22s, so I guess they both use it ? Unless the Langley F-22s are TDY at Barnes ? To confuse things even more it's also listed as a VT ANG callsign, but I can't say I've heard it used by them. My money is on they were Barnes F-15s.

 

[AirScan]

I'm guessing that LAVA01 is a P-8, related ?

Maybe more likely an E-6 ? And I see now 264.850 is a listed Barnes A-A freq.

Ok thank you!
