58-0077 is the replacement for 59-1483 that had the boom issues.

1315 HAGAR-91 C-5M 87-0035 inbound Dover from KIAG alpha 1 no download required Bet quite a sight at that airport which has KC-135's
but little Pax service besides a few Allegiant flights a few times a day. Has though a nice long 10k runway for mainly Mil ops.
Saw recent article that Dover sheet metal guys were fixing various plane parts for their NY ANG KC-135's.

E-6B 163918 (hex 924924) ZURA34 heading offshore. Probably source of the EAM passed on 323.8 a few minutes ago. Also had weak EAM on 15016 not being passed simultaneously.
1430- More on 15016

Bunch of T-6s returning to Sheppard right now after heading west a few days ago. WX evac? Looks like some routed to check out the Grand Canyon on the way back.

USCG Chopper 4077 (yes I confirmed it) out of Sector Maryland was trying to reach to reach the sector on 22A/1021 (157.100). Sector Delaware Bay answered and did the relay first time I heard that happen. Very interesting

ENORMITY with EAMs on 311.0 and 323.8. Nothing on HF.

58-0077 was also on 311.0 as GASMAN01 checking in with the CP and giving their status.

The White House announced a good weather call for POTUS's return from Camp David, meaning M-1 and Ospreys. Lid called until 7pm.

Ok on all. CG 4077 isn't a format for helos. The H65 tail numbers start with 65 with two numbers to follow like 6577. The larger Jayhawk H60s tail number start with 60 also two numbers to follow like 6077.

Sector Maryland gets H65s when needed for a case from Air Station Atlantic City. They also send two helos to Washington to intercept aircraft in the restricted zone.

The cloaest H60s are at Air Station Elizabeth City, NC.

Also every other time have heard a CG helo with Sector they have been on LMR channel CG 409 partly encrypted.

Going forward are you sure you didn't hear a CG Auxiliary aircraft? They would most likely be using the marine band without having the LMR channels. Their is at least one AUX helo that have heard on the radio being a Robinson.

I have a flight of two MV-22s up here in VR-840 Sounded like ELVIS 11 flight of two 4.5-500' AGL VR-840. Heard on 255.400 entering route working FAA Bangor Radio. Ron's list shows ELVIS as - MV-22B 26 MEU VMM-261 MCAS New River NC.

Does anyone have any A-A freqs for these guys?

I have N441BJ as a R44 helo but it was not active on the 23rd. Last activity on FlightAware was 22nd from Maryland to Harrisburg. Then again - with nice weather they could have been flying VFR.

And agree - most guard comms are retained on CH 16 and CG 409 - rarely hear the helos doing flight op reports anywhere else (anymore).
