Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[TerryPavlick]

12:35 Three C-130s of KILG working on 343.00 CASTL50 flight headed SE across south central New Jersey

Grabbed some photos with the roof cam - about 16 miles away as they flew between 100 - 200 foot (per my tracking) over the South Jersey Delaware Bay coast line.

Wild runner?? Flt. Cleared 1L ADW.

1309 - KBTV tower just advised a GA aircraft that they will be going ATC0 (TWR and APP/DEP) soon for a period of time (didn’t hear how long). No F-35s heard yet for their scheduled afternoon flight.

1314 - STOUT 31 (x4 F-35s) cleared GM ALW
1322 - BRASS 11 (x4 F-35s) cleared GM LEA
1323 - YETI 41 (x4 F-22s) cleared GM ALW (didn’t sound like an F-35, must’ve been those Langley F-22s)
1325 - COORS 21 (x4 F-35s) cleared GM ALW
1341 - STOUT 31 lining up on RWY 15

By coincidence one of the old Del ANG C-130's launching from Ohio now tail 84-0212 as CASTLE12.
Still using old mode s callsign.Maybe headed to new home?

Speaking of C-130's TETON 33,38 C-130H's from Wyoming ANG coming up coast towards us here
Both were logged in California the other day... Long road trip so far for them.
Starting slow decent still tracking towards South Jersey just East of Villas

First A-A heard on 226.800

YETI 41 were using 233.525 Air/Air but all players have now switched to HaveQuick except STOUT who are on 238.250 Air/Air.

 

[GriffissSpotter]

who are on 238.250 Air/Air.

This is a new one for VTANG?

 

[Hbright]

See this TIS-b hit doing racetracks over Las Vegas.

Looks like it's out from Buckley, maybe CAP fighters from the 140th?

Just landed at KDMA. Using Noble c/s.

This is normally the common freq for the YANKEE MOA but the F-35's use it for Air/Air sometimes in VIPER.

 

[RaleighGuy]

Service should be ending soon and we'll see a fleet of planes departing, AF1, AF2, Pelosi and crew, and Obama

09-0016 in the air as AF1 backup out of Phoenix

 

[Mark]

Correction the two mode s come back as C-146A models Miami Intl into San Juan.
AE68b3 is #11-3104 and AE68bd is #12-3047 both out of KEGI Duke Field (Eglin) 524SOS

 

[RaleighGuy]

AF1 taking off now

AF2 in the air now

Boxer42 in the air now congressional delegation headed to ADW

Those TETON C-130H's didn't spend much time near Atlantic City and went back South now
showing over Florida headed towards Key West. Someone sure keeping these guys busy.
Maybe the 177th FW will head there for some Winter training.They were last at Key West in Nov 2018.
BTW earlier today ROCCO-51,52 McGuire KC-135's also went South to Key West.

Thanks for that. I'm trying to tie up the AUX channels as well. This is what I have been able to determine so far (+/- 80% confidence)

VTANG F-35 AUX channels.

10 = ?
11 = 257.600 GTB APR
12 = ?
13 = 226.300 Viper Common
14 = ? 261.800 TAC or 15?
15 = ? 261.800 TAC or 14?
16 = 314.400 TAC
17 = 234.800 TAC
18 = 226.800 TAC
19 = 349.700 TAC
20 = ?
21 = ?
22 = 244.500 Ft Drum Range JTAC
53 = 118.300/(UHF?) BTV TWR
54 = 121.100/(360.800) BTV APR
55 = 135.700/(282.200) ZBW 52
56 = 123.875/(323.000) ZBW 09
61 = 257.600/(124.875) GTB Approach

Unknown

238.250 TAC
226.900 Ft Drum Range JTAC
293.700 Scorpian OPS
126.300/(348.600) BTV GND
123.800/(269.900) BTV ATIS

Any updates/corrections appreciated.

Your tie ups look good. I can add the following...

01 = 293.700 Scorpion Ops
03 = 257.800 BTV Twr
04 = 278.800 BTV App
05 = 282.200 ZBW
06 = 323.000 ZBW
07 = 377.100 ZBW
14 = 238.250 TAC / Yankee MOA Common
15 = 261.800 TAC / Condor MOA Common
57 = 135.250 ZBW
58 = 119.525 Wheeler Sack ATIS

1950- Sam 46 & AF1 nearing Andrews. Both are over WVA with SAM 46 in the lead.

 

[BM82557]

AF2 and BOXER 42 took a more southerly route to Andrews , AF2 currently over the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia while BOXER 42 is still over central West Virginia.

 

[BM82557]

The Wallops Island sounding launch originally scheduled for Thursday was delayed, tonight's launch window is from 11 pm eastern until 3 am eastern Sunday.

 

[Mark]

Looks like Nellis has Red Flag 22-1 coming up Jan 24-Feb 11. Locally seems some 94th FS Langley F-22's and
SJ 335th FS F-15E's going West, Blog post shows some Euro Typhoons making stop at Lajes Sunday on their way.
Sometimes these guys stop at Bermuda on their Southern route West this time of year.

NASA livestream has started.

179th AW is losing their C-130s again. Last time they converted to the C-27J for a short time before that program ended. Went back to C-130s and now losing them for good as they convert to a new wing mission.
