Good evening.
Hawgsmoke 2020 was cancelled, but apparently Hawgsmoke 2021 is held at Moody AFB from April 14-17, 2021.
It is hosted by the 74th Fighter Squadron, I don't know which units will be participating.
René.

Looks like MD ANG A-10's going down that way today.
1157 local RAVEN-1 flight of 4 climbing up looking for FL200
1205 RAVEN-01 req direct Richmond.
1227 SPORT-1 flight of 4 climbing up non-standard 7 miles in trail.
1232 SPORT-1 req direct Richmond at FL200 with 5 mile trail.

SPORT has always been a popular travelling long roadtrip callsign for the MD A-10's.

ADSBexchange is showing a military Twin Otter with the callsign of Anvis making numerous circles over Fredericksburg, VA. Not sure what it is doing.

Mark,

Heard him check in w/ACY on 327.125, but for me he faded quickly after that.

1553- Marine 101 (C-37 # 166377 AE151A) off ADW heading northeast. Callsign 101 is usually the USMC Commandant.

1557- T-bolf flt (F-22s 149th FS VA ANG) clearing out of W386 & working ZDC Snow Hill (236.825)

1005- 3 McConnell KC-135s off BGR. Looked like they were doing a rotation back from the Sandbox, but don't appear to be heading back to IAB ?

edit - just turned left, maybe they are going to IAB.

Anyone have McConnell 22 ARW 931 ARW A-A freqs ?

Tracked them on the home equipment, with A2A comms on 257.4

Possibly a P-8 since it is out of JAX, kind of strange that it is circling over an very rural area -

Interestingly, I'm hearing the ZDC controller on 307.025 (normal) as well as the VHF side being re-transmitted.

Couple of KC-10s scheduled out of KWRI in the next few hours .....

BLUE 01 (79-0434) to Bangor.
BLUE 81 (79-1710) to Moron, Spain.
TUNED 44 (86-0028) local training flight back to KWRI.

Hope this helps,


René.

 

[BM82557]

Thanks Travis, I forgot about Camp Dawson. It shows up well when I zoom in closer --

 

[freqhopping]

Lots of EAM action currently. Three E-6Bs in the air. 4724 is best for me.
The station is ANUALLY.

This is from the April 2021 supplement. Some things are obviously missing like Irons and Bay. Some of these are totally new or maybe just wrong (still) like Falls Church/Pinion UHF.
I suppose bold and light font for the same freqs mean they for high and low.





Air Route Traffic Control Center frequencies and their remoted transmitter sites are listed below for the coverage of this volume. Bold face type indicates high altitude frequencies, light face type indicates low altitude frequencies. To insure unrestricted IFR operations within the high altitude enroute sectors, the use of 720 channel communications equipment (25 kHz channel spacing) is required.

BLUE 81 79-1710 out of McGuire at 20:00 local
BLUE 01 79-0434 out of McGuire at 20:24 local
Thanks for the alert René

 

[GriffissSpotter]

Interesting situation at BTV, if the F-35s haven’t launched yet, they are likely to be delayed significantly. A fire in the lighting control building at BTV caused at least the runway 15/33 lights to shut off, runway 15/33 is closed currently, according to BTV tower, they should be recieving an update in at least 15 mins.
20:14: HAMMER11 and BRASS21 flights have cancelled their IFR clearances for the night and for right now will not be flying tonight. Weather conditions for tomorrow, Thursday 4/15 and Friday 4/16 will likely prevent them from flying.

Thank you! I checked later and saw it landed at Ft. Belvoir's field.

 

[GriffissSpotter]

Update, RWY 15/33 at BTV was opened a little while ago.
Did anyone happen to catch why INDY84 63-8032 AE048B is on AR-206 at FL320?

Interestingly, I'm hearing the ZDC controller on 307.025 (normal) as well as the VHF side being re-transmitted.

This is the first time I've heard of frequency cross-coupling between UHF-VHF. Listening to varous LiveATC feeds I've never noticed it before. I wonder if it's new or just not used very often ? Are you able to tell what sector 307.025 is being used in ?

The controller is working lots of airspace including Philly arrivals (132.525). The planes I hear are in the Pinion SWA4739 and Swann SWA4726 sectors.
N495DD while just west of KRIC.
