Heads up guys... TREND 11 flight 246.65 A-A

Heading South to another F-15E base....wink, wink.

Ed,

1400 L- heard one short xmission and couple of mike clicks on 246.65. So far not much chat.

1405- Trend 11 working ZDC Salisbury (257.7). Descending from FL240 to FL200 & QSY to 370.925 (Norfolk A/D). Stopping over at Langley or descending towards Seymour-Johnson?

They barely talked much at all up here. We heard no refueling as they were splitting up the flight halfway between Nova Scotia and Cape Cod. Only time we heard boom freq was to notify the fighters AR was done and go to ZBW 128.75 One of the quietest Coronet flights ever! Very disappointing. Hope the next cell is more talkative!

Ed,

Thought they might be headed for SJ but using Norfolk A/D that far from SJ threw me off.

314.4 is active. Callsign heard HELLCAT

I missed the activity in Viper but caught the other flight on LiveATC, the callsign sounded like THUMPER 21, a new BTV callsign for me.

19:32 - BRASS 11 flight just got IFR clearance for the night flight.
19:58 - TOPCAT9 KC-135R 63-8029 AE05AC (108th Wing/JBMDL) seems like it will be working with the VT F-35s.
Also if there were any flights after BRASS 11, I missed them but I am back to listening now.

 

[GriffissSpotter]

Getting comms on 226.3, 314.4, 226.8 so far.
Heard some comms on 282.7 (AR-206/631/212/631) common, could've been POLO99 who's getting gas from MAINE87 on AR-631.
Possible situation AirScan, TOPCAT9 is orbiting within LIGHTNING 4 ATCAA and I am making the presumption that jets will come up for fuel when needed considering the fact that the AR freqs are silent and I am getting very poor reception on the VT F-35 A-A freqs
Also on a side note, RHINO29 (C-17/97-0044) is doing practice ILS approaches at Griffiss!
20:38 - TOPCAT9 is heading into Tupper South to join with the F-35s, 276.5 (AR-609 primary)
20:42 BRASS 11 will be the flight that is being refueled.
