Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[mdmonitor]

Agree - was there an E8 JSTARS airborne at the time possibly ?

Terry,

BULLRUSH sounds like a callsign that would be used by a TACAMO, ABNCP or WBFM ground entry point stn.

Two Holloman AFB F-16s are going to be performing a flyover over the Boilermaker Road Race in Utica, NY tomorrow, 10/10. Major Nicholas “Titto” Hanna, a Utica Native, will be the flight lead for the flyover. I’m trying to find out if these guys are staying at Griffiss or not, did anyone hear them transition through their area yet?

There was a TALON 1 flight working KSYR APP on Thursday (2100Z archive), handed off to Griffiss Tower.

Also this was posted over on the Michigan Forum (same day).

TALLY 1 x 2 or TALON?

Here is an interesting video of a B-52 at Goose Bay in 1957 or perhaps 1958.
I digitized this old 8mm movie taken by my father when he was stationed there.
Best place ever it was during the cold war, Goose Bay was a busy place.
I assume there is no issue with posting in this forum.
I uploaded it to onedrive, hope this URL works:

You must have been reading my mind as was just looking at Chuck's post in Michigan.
Sounds like F-16's with still VHF A/A freqs as well Holloman is a F-16 training center anymore.

OT but If you like jet noise and fire check out live La Palma volcano cam.
Looks like lots of hydrocarbons being emitted Really looks wild at night.

They are still on 267.500

1105- Nice 13 working ZOB Indian Head (124.4) on way back to Pittsburgh.

1119- Noble 11 flt using 267.5 as A-A

USAF released accident report on that T-38 crash back in February... Some interesting info on basic flight training hours,cross country
etc.

Says it needs a password to open.

Yes (8 characters) - that freq is JSTARS freq presumably. That is why I was wondering if an E8 was up and flying around the southern US.

Opened for me without a password.

 

[Chris52]

One would think they would use a DE State Police helo for this & not have the DC Park Police come up there. Unless, maybe, the PP helo has some special equipment on it for these missions

You would think, and not a smart move in my opinion as they are used for back up missions when the MSP troopers are unavailable. I held a LZ for one the other day as a matter of fact.

 

[freqhopping]

Weird, it opens on my other computer.

 

[mdmonitor]

1335- Snap 46 (KC-46 # 17-46035) off WRI heading south.

 

[Mark]

Weird, it opens on my other computer.

Yeah opens fine here.It does have some permission limits on copying and editing but ok.
Summary at the end is interesting as seems the MSP (Mil student pilot) had language and training issues and makes you
wonder how he got as far as T-38's. Bottom line the instructor gets blamed but not so sure here.

So are they at Griffiss or Wheeler-Sack?
The second post you quoted said they were going to Wheeler-Sack.

 

[mdmonitor]

1425- Nice 15 (KC-135R # 58-2119 TN ANG McGhee-Tyson Knoxville) inbound to CAP.

1455- Noble 11 flt working ZDC Dupont (307.25) advising flt is RTB Langley via Harcum w/2-mile trail at FL230.

All that showed up was PEACH 32, but it landed well before the B-52 was in the area.

I couldn't tell from the SYR archive ? Couldn't hear the plane, just the SYR controller saying "cleared as requested" and then handing them off to Griffiss Tower.
