Maybe he working with some ground units out of Ft Bragg? Phenom is E-8 JSTARS and they usually provide support to ground battle commanders.

Heard them as well up here on 341.750, it was the B-2s that were in Viper. Their RTB clearance was initially direct ELZ then direct HNN.

Did you happen to catch any UHF ARTCC freqs they used on the way in/out of the area?

When they left it was ZBW 323.00 to ZBW 273.550 to ZOB 235.975. (Initially the Boston controller told them to go to Cleveland on 322.550 but then corrected it to 235.975). I lost them after that.

When they left it was ZBW 323.00 to ZBW 273.550, next would have been ZOB but I missed it, I'll track it down off the archives.

Maybe a dumb question, but in ADS-B Exchange is there any way to have them show the "interesting" acft (DEA, DHS, FBI, NGTF etc) on their own page and not mixed in with the civilian stuff? Even on the military page would be useful.

How are you filtering out interesting non-mil to begin with?

There is a Chrome extension, but it really does not work well, as it is what the author of the extension feels is interesting. I miss the old ADSBx ability to sort those out.

ADSBx database has a tag for interesting, which could be Warren Buffet, DEA, FBI, Med Helos, etc.

Harris boarded Air Force 2 at 4:42 p.m. after her last stop and is in the air now. She is about 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Looks like they wanted to get out of Pittsburgh before the rain.

 

[mdmonitor]

Didn't know the US Navy did these sort of tests

News clip said explosion was equal to a 3.2 magnitude earthquake.

I used to modify the ADSBx database to add tags for interesting aircraft.
