Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[Mark]

SWAMP ONE, a flight of two black Langley T-38s heads for Toronto and talks on 263.025 about going down low VFR over the coast of Lake Erie and Niagra Falls.

USAF sure likes the Falls, though i was up there a few years ago and a Canada C-130 was circling Falls too
Forgot about the Jacksonville P-8A's also like the Falls.
Now looks like landing at Falls airport KIAG as long way from Ft Campbell where they departed.

SWAMP 71, a flight of two black Langley T-38s, heads for Niagra Falls and talks on 263.025 about going down low VFR over the coast of Lake Erie and the Falls.

I believe that was 236.025, not 263.

I believe that was 236.025, not 263.

Thanks Jared, you are right as usual.

These guys did the Falls last month as well. Are they staff officers getting flight time in the T-38s?

71 and 72 were in Grand Rapids, Minneapolis and Indianapolis this weekend, talking air to air on 238.825.

They are going to orbit the Falls and do a little sightseeing before landing.

Missed a lot of CAP action this afternoon..Fighters sound like STOP-31,32 but can't quite make it out.
Say on their last A/R will get to 8k total to have 2.5k left by the time they make it home. Sound like F-16 fuel numbers.

 

[ak3e]

Just heard as STOMP 31

 

[freqhopping]

The callsign is sounding like STALK to me. 169th FW F-16s from SC. We'll know soon.

 

[Dutchmil]

ROMA 75 ( 85-0039) should be departing from KWRI to EGUN at 0100z, supporting more "HL" F-35s from Spangdahlem to Hill AFB on Tuesday.

Close call but think it is STALK-31 flight.. Still circling here in NE Maryland.
Mentioned an update of Charlie Alpha Echo which is Colombia SC.
NOTAM at KMMT says smaller runways 5/23 closed for construction and long runway 14/32 ILS inop during construction.
and Mil Aerodrome is closed thru 5/9. KCAE is only 16 miles from McEntire so maybe working out of KCAE.

STALK-31 flight seemed to be using Huntress 260.900 as A/A and Boom as nothing else on searches.
Must be using VHF for ATC as again nothing heard on UHF ATC in or out.Only chats I heard from them was on 260.900
MUDDY-41 had same problem on way in was told A/R Boom is 247.050 and replied we are not setup for that yet so
will use 260.900 for Boom freq.McEntire ANG base sounds like a construction mess scheduled so far thru 7/6/22.

2040 local "NextGen-290" with Dover apch 132.425 GLF4 N290PS not trackable with Flightaware.
Looks like out of Teterboro NJ showing as XGN290 maybe headed into Easton MD?
Maybe relative or new owner of the late Tom Clancy house to check out there Duck house estate? LOL Good wx week coming up.

 

[Mark]

Funny as I made comment about Easton airport but sure are a lot of charter choppers and execjets
into that little Eastern Shore airport..Money folks in and out.. Fake news..They secretly run the Country
ESN Easton/Newnam Fld Airport (ESN/KESN) - FlightAware

I believe NextGen is based at Easton Airport. There is a large sign advertising them on US 50 north of the airport.

The 169th is temporarily based at KCAE while KMMT resurfaces their "F-16 runway."

F-16s Arrive at Columbia Airport - Lexington County Chronicle

They have arrived. Or, more accurately, roughly one third of them have.

Did the Langley TDY NOBLEs take most of the weekend off? Only worked on Saturday. Maybe wx in Tidewater was particularly bad.
Friday: SLAM 104th FW F-15s
Saturday: NOBLE 159th FW F-15s
Sunday: MUDDY 112th FS F-16s, SLAM 104th FW F-15s, STALK 169th FW F-16s

Nice catch/confirmation on McEntire relocation
NextGen seems based in Lexington Ky but has service areas all over from Kentucky to Roanoke.
WHY NEXGEN | NexGen Aviation, LLC | Lexington, KY (flynexgen.com)
Maybe Easton just a Eastern Shore hub/stop...Hard to track cause they block when they can.
Bet they were busy during the recent Kentucky Derby Hope that long shot horse that Won can pass the tests!

2125 XGN-290 back off the deck I think him chatting A/A with fellow charter A/A 123.450 talking about miserable busy weekend between
Lexington,NY and Carib.. Course a lot of charters had busy weekend.Economy is booming LOL

Have noticed that sundays they work in other units guess so everyone gets CAP time. ie, cosmic, slam and the scramble tanker out of WRI always using what ever the callsign for the weekend is 99
