Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III departs on an overseas trip Tuesday, November 30 to meet Republic of Korea senior government leaders and visit U.S. troops in Korea and California. Are those two countries near each other?

Trooper 1 N381MD from Maryland State Police circling upper Ches Bay.
Getting some old school MSP Chopper dispatch coms on 44.740
2149 local 44.740 Says Coast Guard will send out aircraft from Atlantic City within the hour.
They need a chopper with a winch crew.. Mentioned Trooper 6 from Easton Maryland perhaps.

 

[Mark]

Have heard Delaware and Maryland State Police choppers recently have to wave off on possible winch rescues
as no qualified winch rescue crews aboard. Guess that is another level up for local State Police Choppers who do mostly ground based
Medevacs.
Call the Coast Guard!
Trooper 1 stopped briefly at Heliport and is back on scene at 100 feet so maybe they got some help.
2018 local Chopper released to head back South on 44.74. Looks like Trooper 1 bugging out back on ground in Harford County.
Nothing out of Atlantic City yet.
2025 Trooper 1 cleared back to Martin State on 44.740 Maybe rescue is over.
2035 TROOPER 6 N388MD heading back to Easton from Martin State.

292.300 FACSFAC, Virginia Capes "Giant Killer" W386

Semantics maybe, but 292.300 is not listed in the FACSFAC SOP as a Giant Killer monitored frequency. From what Ron has reported here on the forum it sounds more like it might be a 1st FW discrete A-A freq. not necessarily specific to the FACSFAC areas ? Or am I missing something ?

RCH 445 declared an emergency for an engine fire indication (#1) but advised no visible sign of fire, dumped fuel and returned to KBED, after landing said they had a momentary fire indication requiring shutdown, no assistance required. LiveATC Audio
