Odd hearing Mission Base calling CAP-799 on 139.875.
Civil Air Patrol N399CV CAP799 circling West of Smyrna De near Maryland line.
First time hearing Del Civil Air Patrol using that freq.

1010 local TABOO-12 reports off Dover on CP 349.400 KC-135 #63-8029 Heading West.
1014 C-32A #09-0017 off Andrews headed East into New Jersey then circling off the NJ coast.. Flying airspare assume.

I guess TABOO-12 was spare tanker as seems headed home to Wisconsin now slow climb.

TABOO-12 is from NJ ANG and seems to be circling East of Pittsburgh maybe to burn off fuel.

NOBLE.s A/A 267.500 trying wrong freq 370.275 instead of 307.275. Also heard coms A/A 268.200

[Tech792]

1250- small plane KODA or CODA landing Lakehurst NAS. I'm thinking this is FBI callsign since you no longer hear IDAHO or LIMO. Nothing showing in the callsign lists.

 

[freqhopping]

KONA is the new FBI callsign.

 

[Tech792]

KONA is the new FBI callsign.

Makes sense now. Couldn't make him out good. Thanks.

 

[Chris52]

Fighter jets on Potomac Approach talking to Baltimore and other aircraft about where they will be orbiting. I missed the call signs

Dragon51 I believe

Probably DRAGO51, the usual callsign for flyovers in DC/Arlington. Which TRACON frequency?


Fighters from the Shanksville CAP have taken up the Guard Dog CAP (350.25) as POTUS goes into ADW. TABOO13 62-3544 inbound to relieve TABOO12.

1545- EAM for American Eagle being passed on HF. E-6B 164387 SHRED68 is heading south over the Delmarva.

Yes it was, sorry

119.000 then given another frequency but you could still hear the controller talking to them on 119.000, perhaps he was working both frequencies

Heard on UHF as well

Side note for those of you watching the AF and Navy game, those uniforms are bad ass !

1635 MISTY-61 flight of 3 with ZDC 363.000 from Sea Isle 281.450
1644 MISTY flight pushes ZDC 307.025.. DC flyover? A/A encrypted 341.750 (BOOO!)
MOLSON-01 hit AR-20W track earlier. Maybe 3 B-2's back from Iceland.
1658 MISTY-61 pushes ZDC Moorfield 371.900 flight of 3 non-standard.
