Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

Suggestions for freqs?

I‘m guessing they’ll be up on HUNTRESS freqs and probably a VHF airband freq to communicate with the “civilian“ traffic like 121.5 Usually the Civil Air Patrol participates in these exercises. Camp David visit

Thanks for sharing. Didn't know about the USS Command Ships. It's a sad day when you don't learn anything new.

Seems like I learn something new from you, @Mark and @freqhopping everyday, appreciate all your contributions to this thread.

1345- Couple of MD ANG A-10s on discrete (266.6) and working DOV (257.875) for a couple of approaches. Probably will go on to Warren Grove.

They usually go down there to check out various airfields in case of emergency or wx divert.

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.

Sure about 163918?

Sat data showed (ZURA)34 as 164405... (?)

Guys,

I've asked a couple of monitoring "buddies" out in the " flat, square states" to tip us off on B-2 flights.

One lives in Kansas close to Whiteman AFB & the other guy lives near St Louis so they see a fair amount of VHF/UHF traffic on the B-2s.

They will tip me off when there is flight activity heading our way and I will pass it on in the Forum.

This weekend the Scanner School and @w2lie will be streaming the Bethpage Air Show audio including the cockpit and air boss for both days (May 29th and 30th). The display will have the scanner display as well as ADS-B 1090 and UAT 978 visual screens to watch the incoming and staging planes.

According to local news Blue Angels will do their show for the USNA graduation. I think it's sked for 2PM local time.

If you listen in, in addition to the BA freqs listen to Potomac 119.7 & BWI tower 119.4. Also USNA has a VHF freq 121.95 which is sometime active.

Unfortunately I have a flooded basement from leaking water heater and spent most of today cleaning up (missed practice show) and tomorrow (hopefully) they will deliver and install new heater so probably won't get much listening in Gonna be a C O L D shower tonight

Most exercises will opt for sim guard 123.100 as opposed to 121.500.

I used the list from @mdmonitor and created a list of NORAD freqs and a few others I've picked up on the thread. Not that it helped at all since what I saw the exercise was along the northeast coast of NC and se VA, not near me.

POTUS return delayed as he decided to stop off at his house after leaving the funeral home. Press still holding on the van, so guessing he will still return tonight.

164405 uses 249249.

CAP in the DC area has used 122.75 for simulated guard.
