Please excuse the question but am interested more of this and can't seem to find a good resource to "how to" listen and watch milair. Today as I type 2 jets flew over my house as they do often. Being in remote VA SW of the Farmville MOA I've tried to scan channels and ADS never shows stuff. Is there anyone savy that I can DM or point me to a thread on more info ?

State of the Union Address tonight, time for this sea story.

Famously, one member of the President's Cabinet is picked to be the 'Designated Survivor' for the SOTU speech.

From a recent book on continuity of government programs:

Chapter 15 DESIGNATED SURVIVOR

Terrel Bell, Ronald Reagan’s new education secretary, was already en route to Capitol Hill on February 18, 1981, when he got the telephone call from White House chief of staff James Baker. It was less than an hour before the cabinet was set to attend Reagan’s address to a joint session of Congress about the nation’s economic woes. On the car phone, Baker said he had “good news and bad news.” “The bad news is that you don’t get to go and hear the speech,” Baker told the cabinet secretary. “The good news is that if the Capitol is subjected to a nuclear attack you’ll be President of the United States.”

Graff, Garrett M.. Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself--While the Rest of Us Die Simon & Schuster.

No known connection but E-4B GORDO 15 has been powered up sitting hot alert at Lincoln, Nebraska for over 24 hours now. An unusual posture in recent years in my observation.

I'm not specifically familiar with the Farmville MOA but I'd start with monitoring the ATC UHF frequencies in the area. You should be able to catch who is going in there ?

These are the Washington Center Low ATC frequencies in that area.

235.625, 263.100, 377.100, 281.400, 284.700, 285.550, 290.425, 348.650, 352.000

I see you are a feed provider. What feed is that ? Any chance you could load those UHF frequencies above and we could monitor them too and help you out ?

Looks like they went down from McGuire to Myrtle Beach area and are now headed up.
Had some coms from them A/A I think on 134.100 on departure South 0151 local. Called it VHF common.
Same Travis tails/callsigns that took F/18's the other day 2/26 to Norway.More MAZDA's?

Chicks were Mazda12 flight (Mazda12+13), Gold62 dragged them across the pond, Gold72 did the first part, and is now heading back to KSUU.

Guys

This piece of analysis was provided my Larry Van Horn (veteran Milair'er and provided accurate info in the past) on another list:

I did a detailed analysis of E6 activity over the last month and DoD started
the ramp up of Tacamo activity 2/23 UTC the day before the UKR invasion.

They have been flying at times more than triple to amount of missions since
2/23 and yes they are flying racetrack and lazy 8 patterns near Northstar
GEPs.

My guess is we have gone from Defcon 5 to 4.
Bottom line: These movements are not a drill or exercise. They are a result
of the real world events in the UKR and Putin putting his Nuc forces at
level 2 alert.

New this morning I am seeing Gordo 15 (73-1676) E4 on a ground alert at
KLNK.

So will be watching the E4/E6 assets dance and EAMs on HFGCS should be a
little more interesting to monitor if the last few days are any indication.

First I've heard of the Dino ATCAA.

 

[wbagley]

BLUE21 83-0078 KC-10A with FORCE71-73 F-15SA Saudi AF and BLUE31 84-0187 with FORCE74-76 F-15SA Saudi AF off MoronAB Westbound 08:48Z and 09:00Z

Just caught BLUE 21 with the Saudis westbound over Tennessee on boom freq 254.6, BLUE 31 in trail, boom on 236.75.

Audio clips from BLUE 21 and BLUE 31 received near Louisville, Kentucky on a BCT15X. As the Saudi pilot tells BLUE 31 'good to see you again guys!'

First I've heard of the Dino ATCAA.

First time I've seen it used too. Seems to be an extension on W107. Couple of tankers working W107 during that time. PUDGY 42 and TOPCAT 4.
