When the E-4 works with a C-32 with a single digit VENUS (e.g. VENUS 5 or VENUS 7) callsign it is usually some sort of Continuity of Government exercise in my observation. Sometimes they land at the same military base and presumably simulate a presidential transfer.

The VENUS plane may be in stealth mode with a spoofed hex ID like SAM 18 these days.

SLOTH 85 with ZID 119.525. Calling unknown aircraft 142.750 and burning 337.300.

 

[wbagley]

SLOTH 85 just told the invisible plane on 142.75 that he was climbing to FL270 to match the altitude.

SLOTH appears to be burning the classic analog Northstar WBFM signal with no digital artifacts on 337.3.

In other exercises like this the second plane trails several miles behind for a while. Sometimes they land together, often they seem to terminate the exercise in the air and go their separate ways.

From the Viper tape this morning. VT ANG F-35s STROKE 11, CHESTY 21, CORSAIR 31, BRASS 41. Push frequencies 254.200 and 316.300 (a new one for me) were mentioned. The mystery Spy Drones (?) were back in the area again - Audio.

Looks like C-32 # 98-0001 (ADFEB7) might be heading back to ADW soon. He was spotted out over the Gulf of Mexico using callsign SAM 940. Maybe he's done with rehab and this was check flt.

View attachment 117890

SAM940 returned to ADW today. Had used the same c/s for each flight since it flew to Atlanta in December.

Some kind of helicopter flew over my house heading to HGR. Couldn't see it, but it sounded like Coast Guard Dolphin. Appeared as a generic UFO as it flew over town.

1435 local have someone A/A Huntress 260.900 trying to solve left and right wing fuel load problems.
Must be a ways off as sort of weak signal.
1446 One says we have 110 knots wind speed here at FL270.
Earlier had RAVEN-1 flight VFR at 2500 feet going to Warren Grove range.I don't think it is them.

F16s out of Atlantic City doing intercept training. Using 294.725 as air air and intercept freq for practice comms.
using 140.700 and 298.600 as well - may be two separate groups doing training.
