Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[mdmonitor]

Guys,

Earlier this week I posted that I thought due to UHF skip that I was getting the ground side of Philly approach (371.55) & an unid ATC on 314.25.

Around that same time I re-oriented a couple of my antennas, and I'm still hearing those freqs on a daily basis not usual for skip. Since I'm only 5 miles from BWI I'm beginning to suspect that what I'm hearing on those freqs are some sort of harmonic of BWI ATC freqs.

0939- Samo-11 (sounds like) checking in w/Giantkiller (238.1) for work in W386. Cleared to work in Echo & India at 5,00ft to FL150.

0945- Shady 06 (MC-12W # 08-00329 224 MI Bn Hunter AAF GA) working Potomac (119.7) for landing at BWI. He's landing on the north rnwy so not in my visual area.

Going through some audio I had saved through the week. Wed. Aug. 25 at 9:40AM ET, hearing "BANGER11 in the block, MARSA with NIGHTJAWS" getting altimeter from Boston CTR. 123.87 and 349.7.

They could’ve been referring to “KNIGHT” and “JAWS” flights which are both VTANG callsigns.

Give it a few more days, VHF and UHF have been

I’d give it a few more days if it were me, VHF and UHF tropospheric ducting has been very strong lately.

Anyone got any New York Int’l Airshow freqs?

I wonder if RCH501 C-5M 87-0034 that flew SFO-ADW yest (8/28) was flying VPOTUS limos back? She was scheduled to be in San Francisco this week but canceled last minute.

Usually, C-17s fly the cars but I guess there are few Globemaster available right now.

87-0034 is now out of ADW flying west using c/s RCH880

RCH880 into Biggs AAF

09-0017 up doing racetracks at 8,750 ft over Queenstown Md

09-0017 up doing racetracks at 8,750 ft over Queenstown Md

09-0016 flew into Dover with Biden and first lady.. I'm guessing a ready reserve backup in case 09-0016 has an issue..

1409- Sounded like RAGE 11, says he's coming down the Hudson before heading to Oceana ZNY 350.3
(Maybe RAGIN after looking at the callsign list)

 

[Chris52]

14:30- Sun Devil 21 talking with BWI Potomac South approach -119.70

Any idea who this is ?

 

[Tech792]

1510- Hearing A/A 140.175 am..........only thing I see in the area is TBIRD 14 & 15

1452 local Got that strange callsign here sounded like RACEABLE 1 flight of 2 standard at FL230 but I think your right it is RAGIN callsign.
Sometimes these guys really wreck their callsigns trying to be so fast on the mike.

SAM060 actually left and then returned HNL yesterday. I thought there was some kinda maintenance issue and that meant that we wouldn’t see it for awhile. I guess it fits to trend of breaking down in Hawaii!

Looks like SECSTATE was in the Hamptons earlier in August. Did anybody catch a SAM flight, probably a Gulfstream into East Hamptons or nearby airport?

This week's WEEK AHEAD GUIDANCE released, no travel or anything interesting on it.

But always subject to change.

AC 119fw NJ Ang a/a.

I know 140.175 is one of the 119th tacs.......these didn't sound like fighters

I was sure you knew it was an AC tac; I used to keep track of all the button #'s/aux #'s/any special id's for these freqs; but it became too much to keep track of with different units using the same freq, so now I just note they are a/a or refueling or combat air patrol, etc. Just a general notation.
