260.9 is also used for CAP training with Huntress. Might have been a training mission you heard.

US Army and FAA investigating military flyover of NFL game
The US military and the Federal Aviation Administration are reviewing a flyover of an NFL game last month to determine if the military helicopters flew too low over civilians in violation of aviation regulations.

Forgot McGuire also had the C-141...Mark,
Every now & then when I hear the DeeCee guys flying, I remember back when they flew the C-141's
Active-duty C-141s retired; chapter in global air mobility closes > Air Mobility Command > Article Display (af.mil)
Could be tail swap out at the Bloody 100th.
USAF 100th Air Refueling Wing receives improved version of KC-135 Stratotanker (defence-blog.com)

This is a little off topic but since there have been so many videos and discussion of "flybys" for football games I thought I would throw this in.
I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado for 13 years, I had season tickets to the Air Force Academy Football games for 13 years. At every AFA game prior to kickoff are "flybys" of about every aircraft in the AF inventory, fighters, tankers, cargo haulers, trainers, helicopters, and civilian planes. So there were some Good flybys and there were some GREAT flybys! The one that stood out the most was a flyby by some F-111's out of Cannon AFB, NM. They were fast and very low. At the south end of the AFA stadium is a stand alone scoreboard that is very tall, on most games that are televised a cameraman assumes the position on top of the scoreboard, when these 3 F-111's came by being very fast and very low the cameraman basically "hit the deck" as they split the scoreboard. The crowd was in awe and you could hear a simultaneous "WOW" as they exited.
Several weeks later 2 F-111's came into Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs for fuel, one of them had a hydraulic leak and couldn't depart. I was an aircraft mechanic with the local Air Force Reserve unit and we were asked if we could go and look at the hydraulic leak on this F-111. As we were completing the repairs on the F-111 I asked the pilot about the flyby for the previous AFA football game. He said "Oh did you see it?" I said "Yes, probably one of the best I've ever seen!" I asked did anyone get in trouble for it? His response was "we were always told to follow our lead airplane and that we did." He told me that one of the 3 aircraft was piloted by an RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) exchange pilot, when they got close to Colorado Springs they had the RAAF pilot "take the lead position". I said to him that was a brilliant decision on somebodies part. He didn't say a word, but was smiling from ear to ear!

1014- PAAF 380 (Pakistani AF C-130 # 4189) off BWI heading northeast.
1100- Angry 1 (F-16 121st FS DC ANG) check-in w/ZDC (307.275) at FL200. I have this as ZDC Super High, but FL200 doesn't seem to fit that. QSY's to ZDC Atlantic City (281.45) then W107/108 (255.0). Also on discrete (238.175). From the sequence of freq changes, it seems that 307.275 is located somewhere between ADW & Atlantic City.

Something of interest. I'm not hearing any traffic on the Baltimore RCAG (360.7). I usually hear both the ground and air sides, but so far this morning nothing at all.
I don't normally monitor 360.7 since I get all the traffic from 134.5 (VHF side) as well as 360.7, so I lock it out so it doesn't jam up my scanner.
Yeah that would fit in just about right sequence wise since 134.50 usually translates over to 125.450 NE bound or 127.700 eastbound at that altitude.

Just a thought. But maybe 307.275 is a special use Tac freq for anyone going through/over the Swann sector? Another possibility--i Have heard ZDC Ship Bottom (254.3) used in quite awhile and it was used alot when DC/MD guys went out to W107/108. Maybe 307.275 replaced 254.3?
