Ah yeah, threw me off as they don't usually use that ZBW freq going to Viper.

USAFE Begins New Tanker Operation to Increase Refueling Capacity

I was wondering what they were doing over there. NACHO is the callsign being used so far.

 

[GriffissSpotter]

Ah yeah, threw me off as they don't usually use that ZBW freq going to Viper.

That's the freq that I can hear the controller on, I believe it's from that Remsen, NY site.
Also is JAWS a new callsign for you? I didn't have it on my list, I see it on mdmonitor's list though.

 

[AirScan]

That's the freq that I can hear the controller on, I believe it's from that Remsen, NY site.

Yes it's Remsen, I knew that I just wasn't paying attention when I replied. The aircraft were probably on the standard 323.000 or 377.100.

Also is JAWS a new callsign for you? I didn't have it on my list,

I've heard JAWS before. This is my list of VT ANG F-35 callsigns I've heard recently -

BIG, BRASS, BREW, BUICK, CRAZY, CHEVY, COORS, CORSAIR, DAGGER, DEMO, EASY, HELLCAT, JAWS, JESTY (sp?), JUNGLE, HAMMER, KINGFISH , KNIGHT, LINCOLN, MADDOG, MAPLE, MUSKET, NINJA, POLECAT, SHINER, SPRUCE, STOUT, TITAN, VENOM, VIPER, WEASEL.
