Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[morfis]

Yesterday NAF-43 KDC-10 (480C01) NATO Netherlands came West but went direct Texas.

It's being/been sold to Omega now the shared A330 fleet is able to meet it's basic service level.
Should relocate to the USA before the end of this month

Maybe the new fiscal year means a new rotation. Know which unit they were from?

Odd they were using same A/A freqs as the Alabama F-16's.
Did notice they were not coming or going from the South as usual out of Langley etc.
Guess could be F-15C's 104th FW out of Massachusetts?
The COSMIC's were A/C F-16's at the end though.

The 104th FW may get the new F-15EX types in a few years. Oregon ANG is first up for them.

Since they seem to have a centralized CAP Ops channel, wonder if they have a set of CAP freqs that are used by any unit pulling CAP duty?

 

[AirScan]

Some sort of EC45 Excercises going on today ?

 

[mdmonitor]

1149- Noble 11 & 12 back to tanker. Boy, these F-15s are a thirsty lot

Yeah thinking when they decided to base local CAP fighters at Langley they needed some freqs they
could always assign so probably touched base with the FCC and said what does your computers say for this area and given
a bunch of freqs in the 260 and 226+MHZ band.Just a theory... LOL

Rgr Airscan my ADSBX working again today on windows 10 and Chrome browser.. That was odd last night.
Yeah saw that AR-20NE Res as well.. Altitude seemed low at FL190-220.Red Eye flight for somebody.
One hour Res seems short for multiple flights but we shall see

Believe it’s rotation at the border.

 

[AirScan]

SPUR 73. Filling in on the CAP or the Coronet ? Or something else ? Where are the B-1s ?

 

[Mark]

1620 local Netherlands T-057 MM57 A332 doing a Pot River appch to Dulles airport from Vegas.
Did Polar route to Vegas back on Oct 1.

CAP Tanker boom is 228.150.. NOBLE just got 11.8K .. Thirsty

They may have drafted SPUR-73 for CLEAN duties soon.

Thinking the Wisconsin F-16's have another week or so as Andrews F-16's got to Saudi Arabia back on July 14th
for their 90 day tour.Ah nothing like the Saudi Desert in July and August

Potus to Lansing Michigan Tuesday morning.
