Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[blackaddler]

CAP has been really quiet when I've been listening. I've seen tankers a few times. Just got back from the Leesburg airshow. While there saw the current tanker which is not showing on tracking. Also saw a C-5 heading west.

One of these is a flight of two T-6s. Three left together. T-6s

UH-60 0-24526 PAT19 was there. Three soldiers jumped with parachutes from 6k feet. The only close tail # per Scramble is 86-24526 ND ArNG. Unit fits since they're TDY here, but the DB must be wrong about the number or there is also a 00-24526.. No mode-S on this one.

Airboss was 135.85
Airboss ground 118.7
Discrete 123.15 Used by performers to speak to crowd.

GASMAN50 KC-10 84-0189 alert tanker inbound to CAP from McGuire.

Just watched NOBLE22 closing in on the tanker while passing by my area. Camera can't focus on just the F-16. Got some decent pics (for a 400mm lens) of the tanker. Sky is nice and blue and makes it easy to see.

What kind of camera set up would I need to take pictures like that? Very cool!

Is the TFR still active? I saw Coast Guard fly directly over the prohibited area.

ADSB-X has added test feature that exports KML file to Google Earth for tracking a single plane.
Click on single aircraft and when aircraft info pops up on the left scroll down to very bottom and find Export KML (alpha) and use Google Earth to open file.
Maybe some of you gurus can get this to work ok.. John linked below here seems to be the author.

No idea about guru but the feature seems to work. If you have popup blockers active in your browser you will likely have to make an exception for that website.

Random example



You can 'play back' the route and see the time V postition and adjust the length of the trail shown

View the altitude (picked a flight that interested me this time!)
