US sends more warplanes to Afghanistan to protect troop pullout (militarytimes.com)Roger that Mark. I heard them inbound on UHF ZBW and Pease approach. Two flights of three about an hour in between. MAZDA 94 (x3) then MAZDA 91 (x3). There's already some pics on Facebook from a local photographer confirming it was VMFA (AW) 224 F-18s.
When I wrote that last night, I totally forgot I was going back to in person school today. I’m not able to monitor today sorry.314.4 and 226.3 are active here.
FreqAt 1300 today four Langley T-38s did an Arlington flyover. I'm pretty sure it was four, four showed on ADSBX early on and the fourth wasn't showing as they got in the area. It was for SR-71 pilot Lt Col Ben Bowles. Don't pass up reading this.

Good story.
Just curious. What freqs did they use for the flyover? The last couple I heard didn't use the standard Fly-by freq 279.275.
FreqI don't know, I was at work. I never get to listen for the flyovers.
I wonder if this guy was down over central NJ earlier. Sounded like a single fighter overhead earlier and I think he actually showed up ADS-B. Doing loops over Monmouth County, then doing loops over the Raritan Bay and made a pass over Naval Weapons Sta Earle. . Then turned northward up the Hudson River.Got Bengal 49 on Boston 282.200, single F-18 out of Pease doing a flight test. Test now complete and heading back to Pease.
