Thanks. Got the TABOR flight on 270.050, now they are on approach 275.825. (Sorry, way off topic for a US Mid-Atlantic thread).
Did SJ get 3 groups out today? I only saw the first two before I had to run early this am.

OK confirmed was 3 groups of 5.. Maybe need 5 more planes tomorrow? Guessed right,was the 336th FS :)

KBAF 131 FS F-15s in Viper. Checking the tape from this morning, there was a BILLY 1 (x4) and SKULL (?) 1 (x2) (sounded like they might be saying SKOLL ?), dogfighting in Viper for about 45 minutes using 226.300, then RTB back to KBAF.

A preset frequency. Old transeivers had buttons for freqs used often so presets still get called 'button' even though they aren't physical buttons.
If you listen to RAF crews they use the term 'stud' as that's what their preset buttons used to look like.

Pilots would have a printed crib sheet in their knee pockets and another sheet clipped into a dedicated holder or convenient place in the cockpit. Great sport for youngsters to try and get photos of these at airshows when pilots though you just wanted to sit in their seat.
Blagging a studlist from a crew in the UK was always good too (in the US it was rarely a challenge!).

The preset channels are dispalyed on the white card. So preset 18 is 359.100 (also known as Button 18)

Not Mid-Atlantic but as a few of you do seem to follow the traffic over the pond:
The charts, particularly ENR-6-6, may help when using things like globaltuners/spyserver receivers
The textual parts will help for the main RADAR/Tower etc airfield freqs.
The civil AIP is also online - as most countries are now and this may be of use:

Can you confirm that ZNY is actually using 363.200 and the associated VHF 134.450 ? In the past pre Covid they didn't seem to be used very often, often combined into ZNY35 132.600/285.500. Thanks.
I should've said 363.2 is "listed" for ZNY; I haven't checked for its use in awhile, but I'll put it back in the scan bank; thanks for the info.

Twitter blurb says the SPUR tankers out of Maine went to Iowa and will
be moving B-1's Wednesday.. Seems more like a Polar route to UK from Texas if that
is where the B-1's are starting from. They may be already up at Ellsworth SD perhaps? Saves a lot of travel time.
That same AR-20NE Res from the other night is back up again tonight 0345z-0445z FL-190-220.
May not be related.
