1038- unid? 01 advises Giant Killer (KNTU LiveATC archives) they will be working W386 for 45 minutes and that they are MARSA with CORSAIR, JAWS, and HELLCAT and will be transitioning to AR636.

Are the VT ANG F-35s going down south or are they just playing around off our coast and heading back home later?

Answered my own question. At 1213 Team 31 tells Corsair (I think) to contact Giantkiller on the way out and have safe flight back home.

There were some Langley F-22s out in W386 earlier, Maybe they were working with the F-35s. WOW !! F-22s vs F-35s.

That F-15 on top left seems to have his fuselage airbrake deployed.. You don't see that often in the air. Usually only during landings.
Guess was trying to slow down quickly. :)
That LJ-35 almost looks just like US Customs Border color scheme but their blue stripes are always behind aircraft cockpit.1622055173389.png

Maybe with Holiday weekend coming up everyone trying to get their flight training hours in early?

Nice pic. After the flyby FURBALL 01 went to Halifax/CYHZ and the SLAM F-15s RTB KBAF. Any reg. on the Learjet, hard to tell but doesn't look like a Canadian reg. ?
Guys,

I apparently caught much of the SLAM work on recordings today between 1155-1448z. From what was reported here and what I heard on the recordings, the players were:
SLAM 1&2 (MA F-15)
VIMY (CF-18 Bagotville)
FURBALL (TOI)
MOLSON 01 (ME 101st ARW KC-135)
GASMAN 01 (PA 171st ARW KC-135)

Most of the comms I heard were on 260.9 HUNTRESS and 293.7 (boom) between GASMAN and SLAMs. Heading toward Yarmouth, NS they were refueled (in US airspace) then worked TOI intercepts, then went to tanker, then headed North working ZUL ATC controllers. I hear a few frequencies given out which I did have some of them and a couple were new to me. Here's what I caught for frequencies;

234.7 HUNTRESS (I had)
293.7 Tanker Boom freq GASMAN and SLAMs (I have as VT MAPLE OPs)
294.5 SLAM and GASMAN Wkg Moncton Center (I had this on recording confirmed)
306.4 SIDECAR (new to me)
347.0 HUNTRESS (new to me)

Hope this helps. I'm sure they'll be more about this later today on the net.

The LJ35 belongs to Top Aces.


It was the target aircraft in the exercise.
