1525 PAAF-214 finally on ZDC 127.700.. slow going 45 minutes from offshore Southern Long Island.
Cleared down to 8k seems direct Baltimore. Like following a Piper Cub it is so slow.

He just checked in w/Potomac (119.7) at BWI.

I was out cleaning snow/ice off my cars and he flew in right over us on his way in.

The one from last week is still at BWI and Broken supposedly. This one might have parts on it. Odd i didnt see it show on the ADSB Mil Filter.

1242 - GIANT8369 calling KDOV command post on Victor (134.1 AM). No luck, sounds as though WRI might have replied to relay the message.

Not showing on ADSB.

Sure it was. ADS-B Exchange - tracking thousands of aircraft

Rgr heard GIANT aka Atlas Air ask McGuire 134.100 to relay for them that they were inbound.
For a while back in 2017 when Dover was busy with Atlas Air flights Atlas (GIANT) had their own Ops freq at Dover of 131.825.
Haven't heard that freq active in a while.. Replaced in my rotation another dead freq.. Andrews 283.750 JOSA A/A.. Anyone remember that freq?

I remember the JOSA freq. Actually had a couple of hits on it years ago. The JOSA C-21s were quite active.

Is Alan still around? I bought a Pro-2042 from him years ago and still use it! Haven't seen or heard from him in quite some time.

I dont think he is around anymore.. Remember one of his last posts years ago he was in bad health
and said looked like his radio days were over soon.. Like he got some bad medical news.. Was sad to hear that.
His full name was Alan Colicchio I think..

Guys,

I talked with Tinear about 18 months ago. He was living in the area, but as you said, was not in good health.

Neat sorting thru those old logs.. CRAB C-130J's from Maryland,,, A-10's into Willow Grove NAS,
Langley getting their F-22's working offshore to get certified.. Potus CAPs in Texas. Andrews F-16 using BUDMAN callsign
F-22s at Langley receive FOC status (f-16.net)

Mark,

Yea, it was good listening then. MD ANG & PA ANG A-10s using LVHF 30-50MHz like crazy. Good old Crab C-130s then they switched over to C-27J Spartans for awhile. Langley F-15s, North Dakota (NODAK) F-16s TDY to Langley. MAPLE VT ANG F-16s TDY to Langley.

Once again 3 Charleston C-17's and 1 McGuire C-17 to Dyess scheduled via Space A board for Sunday.
Maybe free of ice by then.... Sure pushing back the B-1 deployments to Norway

The A-10s out of Barnes and Bradley used low band a lot back then also. (When Barnes had A-10s) I use to see them fly overhead en route to the Warren Grove range in southern NJ.
