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.

Not like he won’t be back in three days for 4 days🤦🏼‍♂️

Finally heard AE67E1, with ZDC Tar River 132.225. It's TALON85, so P-8A from VP-16.


CHINE65 KC-10 84-0189 just heard on ZDC Moorefield 133.275 asking about divert for WX. I wasn't paying attention until he mentioned meeting a tanker which is probably BACKY23 KC-46 18-46045.

Strong signal on 4724 for an EAM now being passed. Only E-6B I'm seeing is 164387 circling Greenboro, NC at low alt. "BROWBEAT"?

2042- DECOY99 94-0070 with an arrival message. Load includes two combat offloads. 297.9

2048- CHINE65 on 291.9 for AR (AR455). Looking more like JAKE13 59-1448 is the other one.
More EAM, actually a good signal on 15016 11175 and 8992 as well.

Did you see the post from @mdmonitor above with some other freq info?

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

Confirm 305.500 and not 305.900? That freq hasn’t been used in a few years.

From the Teak Airshow Guide...
• 305.500 Fat Albert "Bert," solo aircraft (west coast) and maintenance officer (Note: this is not a nationwide Blue Angel assignment. May only be used on west coast trips as needed.)
• 305.900 Fat Albert C-130 (nationwide) [Ch 10]

Maybe he thinks he left the water running after his last visit or maybe he forgot to lock the back door?

Anyone know where the Blues are staging from? Sometimes they use ADW & sometimes PAX River

Looks like Andrews as Fat Albert has been in and out of there..

Yeah, I’m aware of the assignment, it just hasn’t been used much recently. Typically they stick with the norm unless there’s a conflicting freq, but I wasn’t aware of one in the area.

Any idea what MOLSN 01 is doing?
Edit - We also have this PA ANG KC-135 orbiting over Southern MA/Northern CT.

Wondering the same thing with them orbiting over CYOW. Do not see any big visitors in town today.

MOLSN 01 is supporting a NORAD exercise with CF18s and USAF F15s. Unsure what the other 135 is doing.

Thanks, the PA ANG KC-135 continued east, looks like it's crossing the pond. Are they Barnes F-15s or from somewhere else?

No problem. I'd assume it would be Barnes due to their NORAD mission, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was another unit.
