0843 local NIGHTHAWK-21 with Dover apch 132.425 at FL 3k. Imagine Potus will be at Dover for dignified transfer
in coming days.Prob also lots of Marine/Navy Brass as well.
0855 ETHYL-19 calls NIGHTHAWK 21 on 132.425 sw to Dover tower 126.350
0858 NIGHTHAWK-21 cleared to taxi across runway 32 and pickup follow me vehicle.. Setting up Potus spares?
Fast trip from DC area. I believe it left from Quantico. Seen over Anacostia river at about 0825 local. I think he then returned to DC area, again probably Quantico.

No radio, and not showing up on ADS-B - but I'm in Seaside Park and just had an A-10 fly low (FL<2000) north parallel to the beach while taking the dog for a walk, then just had a flight of 4 heading back south as I got back to the house.
Got a RAVEN 31 flight of 4 A-10's inbound Martin State now A/A 293.300
Chatting as one new A-10 pilot is ex Navy pilot and comparing notes..
In Navy he rarely flew VFR like the A-10's do at times.

Hurricane Ida really getting stronger down in the Gulf. Looks like New Orleans area
gonna get whacked. Hopefully the NAS JAZZ F/18's will evacuate. Barksdale seems normal ops as
two Buffs landing there now.They are prob OK being up in Northwest part of the State.
We may get extra rain come Tuesday cause of this.

Folks on ground sure got a kick out of them course A-10's not F-10's :)

RCH4788 C-130J 14-5788 departed Dulles not long ago. Passed directly over me. Sure was quiet despite the low alt. The older ones I can hear and feel when they're at 20k ft.

2210- Propagation seems to be good tonight, still hearing them really well on ZOB 132.125

Roger that Mark. First off, great video you shared!! I can confirm they were in NH before heading home. Heard their clearance on Portland A/D passing East off the coast of Portland then inland to Yankee MOA, requested flight plan to MTN when finished. I've had recordings of the MD A-10s up here all week as they have been staging out of Pease. Daily flights playing in Yankee MOA sometimes two flights of four at the same time. Today was WARDOGs and RAVENs. They used local UHF ATC as well as ZBW to and from the MOAs. Logged many A-A freqs daily.

Here's the most logged:
139.6 (AM)
226.15 (unfortunately, I had to lock this one out due to local interference)
238.25 Yankee MOA Coordinate freq for conflict/de-conflict
266.6
271.4
293.3

Callsigns logged:
WARDOG
ROGUE
RAVEN
AXMAN

Thanks for lending us the A-10s for awhile. Nice hearing some comms other than the usual tankers and AMC aircraft!

Yeah thanks Ed for great freq report and nice to see some Vid of them on the actual range up that away.. That first A-10 really dove deep into the Valley while next two kind of stayed a bit higher.. It is to say the old school "balls to the walls" low flying MOA work :)
