Maybe they were running early and had to kill some time.

Lake Murray is a great spot to do just that.

 

[etr37]

Not sure why or where he's headed to (didn't have my scanner on) - but MUSEL18 (69-6637 1st HS) just flew directly over my house at no more than 1000'

 

[RaleighGuy]

Interesting detour though.

Of course, we have no idea who is aboard or the mission today. It may have been planned.

1148- Salty Dog 69 (F-18, VX-23) working Giantkiller (238.1) for the Test track.

Google is your friend in a search box.. Canada hopefully will be flying them soon

So this is what I got, The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.

SAM694 is transporting the SECDEF to MCF (MacDill AFB) for CENTCOM Change of Command.

FBI CIRG 757 N874TW returned to RIC today from L-3 at Majors, Tx (GVT). Spend about 3 weeks there. Interesting location given that their (publicly disclosed) mission is to transport HRT and others to operations around the country.

CLEAN 04 is inbound, currently over Nova Scotia. I believe he has 5 x SJ F-15E's (TABOR 51 flight) in tow, returning from RAF Lakenheath.

Rgr that seems like CLEAN-01,02 did topoffs near UK and CLEAN 03,04 dragging them on in
CLEAN-03 seems on course for McGuire with chicks in tow it seems and CLEAN 04 seems headed for Pease..

Hearing BIRD DOG-71 on ZDC Sea Isle again FL280 going down to FL240.
Jet Blue 2701 doing circles off NJ now req return to JFK on ZDC Sea Isle. No Spring break for those folks yet

1513- Odd flt. KC-135R # 62-3523 22nd ARW McConnell AFB) over Baltimore heading east, possibly offshore. Stopped short and turned around. Looks like he's heading for the CAP.

 

[Mark]

Lot of Spring breakers ticked off out of New York.
Jet Blue 201 also rtb JFK instead of KFLL
CLEAN-03 making straight into McGuire.. Maybe dropped chicks off up North?
DEMON-11 flight off McGuire headed North ZNY Big Flat 270.300>306. A/A 298.600. There is a Res for Duke MOA
NATION-11 tanker #62-3523 taking first round of Del Potus CAP on 260.900

The Florida F-15's were supposed to finish up their TDY at Langley this Month so see if they are still around.

Thought I heard Tanker talking about NOBLE-11 flight with hydraulic issues..
Sounds like NOBLE-12 has issues and will be late?
NOBLE-11 entering CAP by himself on ZDC 307.250
NOBLE-11 closing on tanker on boom 247.050 tail #85-102

 

[mdmonitor]

1528- Noble 11 flt working PAX approach (314.0). Having some problems trying to get to the Compton CAP. Sounds like he's not familiar with the route procedure. Maybe new CAP pilots? QSY to ZDC Patuxent (281.4). Noble 11 advises the Noble 12 is down for maintenance. He checks in w/Nation 11 (247.05) & id's as single F-15. Noble 11 advises the Noble 12 will probably be there in about 20-25 mins.

1537- Two acft working on HMX-1 Ops freq (277.175). Two more HMX-1 on 273.95. One of the second flt tells the first flight, "enjoy flight home tonight". Nighthawk 1 & 2 working on 143.825. Acft 1 advises fairly gusty winds at 25 ft.

Which location is interesting ? Richmond or Majors Texas ?

 

[jaymatt1978]

1533 143.8250 (HMX-1) Nighthawk 3 is over Wilmington!! Heard loud and clear

 

[Mark]

Ron and all NOBLE-11 Tail #85-0102 comes back to Louisiana ANG F-15C 159 FW
Now hearing some A/A 341.850 chat maybe unrelated. Playing quiz trivia game
Maybe these are SJ F-15's headed home.. Thought I heard someone mention button # for SJ
and now someone relaying ATIS info to them all on 341.850

NOBLE-11 says on 260.900 NOBLE-12 will be in in around 20 minutes.
I was just thinking a couple weeks ago the Louisiana F-15C's are the only ANG F-15's we havent had in CAP in last 2 years
around here.We have had Oregon,California,Florida and Mass for short CAP hops.I think Louisiana was only F-15C types left.
Almost forgot we did have the Alabama F-16 Red Tails in between there somewhere

Landing officer callsign today is “Dickey”

 

[Hbright]

Which location is interesting ? Richmond or Majors Texas ?

Majors. My understanding is that acft (primarily USAF) go there to get comms upgrades from L-3. I don't know why the FBI plane would need that. I should add that they were c/s VADER, a known L-3 c/s.

Marine One flight to ILG worked 134.35>125.65>119.7>125.525

I heard HUSTLER11 (CH-53 165651) "off the Academy" working 125.65 at about 1545E.

Bayou Militia putting in work! I presume they are TDY at LFI also?
1625E: Wash raises NOBLE11 on 307.250, says "Wingman 12" is approaching, asks what altitude they will work. FL230, NOBLE11 replied.
1629E: NOBLE12 on 307.250, says MARSA with NOBLE11

I caught a brief TIS-b hit of a V-22 off ADW. Likely NIGHTHAWK flt of 2 or 3 headed to ILG w/ press pool.
