All the TIS-B hits are way too low, under FL 4K, unless the FL is wrong (not to mention position of AC with TIS-B) those are not them.

Must be UFOs then
Last one I saw was a private plane that landed at Hagerstown Regional, but who knows doubt a UFO wants to get in trouble with the FAA. MilAir isn't the only TIS-B users.
I was talking about this one only - click link.
Hex: ~278E8B
Speed: 366 kt
Altitude: 22,400 ft
Vert. Rate: 0 ft/min
Source: TIS-B

Was hiking in Red River Gorge today and saw RAMBO 15 go over showing 249249 - looked like an E-6B to the naked eye.
Looks like similar track as this one, but you could be right
Ah you made me go track it down. ~DEEC30 is N22591 (click link for picture). Yep, not an F-16.

TIS-B IDs are not fixed to a specific aircraft like a mode-S hex. A mode-S hex is programmed into the transponder. A TIS-B ID is somewhat randomly* created by ATC for every broadcast.
*There does appear to be a correlation to the first three numbers and the general location, probably related to the ATC facility creating the broadcast.

Thanks for the info. In this case with ~DEEC30 I compared the track and timestamps with LiveATC coms to confirm the aircraft ID. I didn't mean to imply it was assigned to that aircraft all the time. I guess I should have said ~DEEC30 was (not is) N22591.

So what is this 285.55 ZDC freq they're given to depart the CAP? I heard this last May when fighters were leaving the CAP.
Didn't know CG Atlantic covered such a large area... Safe trip for them!

Travis Would guess that it was a bad readback. Maybe one of these: My money would be on ZDC Brooke. Make sense since it's in the flt path from CAP to Savannah Don't think Sampson NC makes sense.

No, 285.55 is legit. They were talking to someone right away. I was listening to 285.45 at the same time and can hear that controller, he wasn't talking to them. It's a valid Memphis Center freq. Maybe ZME/ZDC/ZTL are combining to have one controller deal with UHF during low activity periods due to reduced staffing because of the virus. |

Right now I'm hearing the same ZDC controller on 126.875, 133.975, 307.025 and 285.45. The same guy is controlling Philly arrivals, telling aircraft to change to his freq 132.525.
I've heard aircraft on 133.975, 126.875, 134.5 all talking to the same guy, now a woman has taken over.

I heard 285.550 as well, the RTB clearance to SAV was via Richmond/RIC at FL230. That would make it the Irons (14) Sector, which is listed as 360.850. Replacement or spare ? Anyone notice if 360.850 is still in use ?
The previous earlier RTBs were via Gordonsville/GVE at a higher altitude with the initial handoff to ZDC 284.700 Montebello (60).

Picked up a couple of VP-45`s so far, would guess the main push will be off within the next 48hrs.
169564 VP-45 AE66CF PELICAN29 KNIP>KNTU>LERT>OBBS dept KNIP 29th
169341 VPU-2 attached to VP-45 AE686E PELICAN22 KNIP>KDAL>KNTD>PHNL>RODN dept KNIP 29th
0545 PELICAN-34 P-8A (AE686E) with ZNY 133.500 Oceanic turning out to sea off NJ.
0548 PELICAN-34 on 133.500 will be going down to 15k and will return to you shortly. Spot something?
