Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[AirScan]

Any idea what MOLSN 01 is doing?

Right over my house, unfortunately I'm out of town until tomorrow and the LiveATC feed that covers that sector 134.975 is stuck on the ATIS. Montreal Center can be heard on the CYOW LiveATC feed when they aren't being blocked by the other frequencies.

On the YOW feed I've heard MOLSON 01 get cleared to "hold in the ROA" and told to contact Sidecar on 341.300, also heard CF-18s VIMY 11 get cleared into the "Ottawa ROA" and declare MARSA with MOLSON 01 and switched to tactical but will continue to monitor Montreal on 128.775 (cross-coupled with 134.975).

I'll monitor 341.3 from here. See what gives.

Thx for the great info!

1010- Team 31 (KC-10 # 83-0081) working w/several ftrs (Dog flt) on AR 636 primary (238.9). Team 31 responds to query with " we have enough gas for everybody". Dog flt is very weak & choppy. They are working ZNY Kennedy (282.3) & ZDC Sea Isle (281.45). Coronet coming back?
My list has Dog callsign as:

DOG - F/A-18E VFA-143 NAS OCEANA VA
DOG EA-18G MCAS CHERRY Point NC
DOG AV-8 VMA 223 MCAS Cherry Point NC

Team 31 QSLs that Dog flt is flt of 4 and that another flt of four will be coming through later.

Now hearing Corsair 31 flt & ?Skippy flt? working w/Team 31

1019 local- Just had 349.7 solid here with some fighter chat. Sounds like they're transiting through the area.

That's a VT F-35 A-A freq, JAWS 11, HELLCAT 21, and CORSAIR 31 are all headed down that way.

We just had two F15s and two CF18s run high speed approaches at CYUL. Passed over at about 700ft. Broke off after the airport heading back east. Friend monitoring reports they are back with MOLSN01. I saw them from the car. Almost everyone on the road came to a stop to watch!

I got some comms on 259.000 (Barnes A-A) a little while ago, weak signal and broken. I doubt it was from all the way up there though.
Also BISON 31 AR with PACK 32 on AR-609 soon.
PISTOL 11 flight of 2 F-35s RTB to BTV in 5 minutes at 15,000, instead of going to KEND. PISTOL 11 had refueling receptacle problems and couldn't get a good contact with BISON 31.

Seems like a busy day.

Earlier heard SLAM 01 flight advise Montreal of the flyby and said they were a flight of 1 Learjet and 4 fighters. Wondering if FURBALL 01 was the Learjet ?

1110- Got some weak comms on 314.4. Arpound here that's a PAX freq so not sure if it's PAX related or one of the VT ANG freqs.
