Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

They did call in on the unicom frequency. I went back and listened. Called in as a Navy 737.

Ok thanks. I guess they do it enough they know the frequency without the controller having to mention it.

Rgr Ron NOBLE-01,02.. Chatting A/A how tanker is ticking them off as when they rejoin
tanker it turns into them.. McGuire NJ ANG tanker TABOO-21 60-0366 but came out of Pease.
NOBLE commented that he liked the Tiger Stripe tail of KC-135 60-0366 I guess aka Princeton Tigers scheme.

USAF likes their aircraft spotters at Lakenheath

Sorry I should have clarified my reply. I am quite familiar with the ground system both the vehicle side and the radar side. What I try to do is determine what airport the activity is coming from. I routinely pick up ground units from several airports (just depends on conditions). I primarily catch vehicles and other targets at KPHL from here in Villas. Roughly 53 miles away. Some units are the radar end and others are aviation police units, fire trucks and other vehicles. My site in PA being close the the airport routinely shows the Radar units.

Should have been a bit better on the explanation side.

Terry

Here are a few of the radar units at KPHL

NOBLES A/A 283.700 doing fuel checks and mention going to Langley so they could return to
the CAP quicker.. Mentions last tanking at 1835z when they get replaced.
Langley may just be divert talk in case replacements don't show.

Bit off topic Conga line headed into Oshkosh for their annual Airventure event

1815 EDT - some sort of incident on the field, airport closed, arrival delays up to 1 hour.

update 1828 EDT - now accepting arrivals runway 27 one at a time. Sounds like a Stearman went on it's nose landing 36L.

Disregard that....I see him

NOBLE finally gets that Cessna on 121.500 tells him again head North course 360.
