Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[wbagley]

Here's some edited LiveATC audio of the Polish Air Force 101 MAYDAY and the return to Warsaw with President Duda onboard.

Most of the conversation is in English, however the initial call about the problem is in Polish.

My thanks to whoever provides the WAW LiveATC feeds, they are excellent quality.

09-0017 quietly relocated from Ramstein to Krakrow, Poland a few hours ago. I'm guessing that officially it doesn't exist for purposes of routine transportation on this trip.

Do you know what time they landed in Krakow? I'm going through LiveATC archives to see if they're still using RCH267 c/s.

Edit: I hear RCH270 checking in w/ Krakow EPKK Approach at 1150Z. Nothing on ADSB.

President Biden boarded Air Force One at Poland’s Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport at 5:53 pm local, without speaking to the press and is wheels up for Warsaw.

It looks like Gulfstream PLF 106 may have taken Polish President Duda to Rzeszów after the Boeing turned back. AF1 and SAM 46 on the way to Warsaw. A Dutch NATO tanker overhead, two C-17s coming to collect the limos and a NATO AWACS patrols the border.

1330- EGY 1106 (Egyptian AF C-130 SU-BAE) inbound to BWI. Departed from San Antonio TX. Showing fairly normal alt on ADS-B. Maybe they got it fixed? I spoke too soon, as they got over Baltimore their altitude readings were all over the place.

Yep, normal REACH flights usually show up on ADS-B, I think REACH 270 is 09-0017 today.

He flew over my house at about 500-600 ft and his ADS-B was showing altitude of 118,000ft.

Meanwhile, new footage (from three years ago) of F-15E aerial footage from US Air Force Weapons School.

Neat vid full screen and you can see pursuer on his tail in background.. For a 3 year old vid now a viral hit on Tik-Tok now.

Whats really impressive is the vibration of the verticle stabilators ( twin tails ) of the target F15 that is being chased.

The old Black Sheep squadron VMA-214 are now VMFA-214.The last of the West Coast AV-8B's.
I guess the only remaining active AV-8B's are down at Cherry Point now.
