259.900 is a 131st FS/104th FW Air to Air freq, plus the F-35s just took off now from KBTV

 

[BTFire21]

They are talking to Toronto Center right now but I cannot find them. Also just talked about getting into Minneapolis Center Air Space.

I had that freq listed as MA ANG so that all fits together.

Nice catch on the Salty Dogs. I don't normally monitor the local Potomac VHF/UHF freqs. Since I can hear the ground side of the various controllers, they are very active and tie up my scanners.

Thanks.. noticed that last course from ROMA was towards Salt Lake City area so was thinking Hill F-35's.
Waypoint HINGE a ways up there assume near AR-62?
HINGE waypoint | OpenNav

Sure are a lot of Mil aircraft up today.. ADSBX map looks jammed Coast to Coast.

It's quite a distance north of AR-62. They were operating in a separate ALTRV.
