MIST 11 / 12 / 13 - Minot B52's - AR with TEDDY 61 / 62 out of McGuire in AR62 then MISTS will cross the atlantic.
1753-1800z
Caught the McGuire tankers on recording chatting away on 268.025 on their way back down from AR-62 discussing the BUFFs and formations, pictures taken, "with the snow in the background". Good stuff!

Saw this last night, sorry it took me so long to post it. Looks like GRYHK72, AE5E4D. an E-2D according to Military Air planes with Mode-S ADS-B and part of VAW-120 NAS Chambers VA according to Ron's (mdmonitor) callsign list (Greyhawk), took off from Chambers Field (NGU), flew to and landed on a carrier at sea in W-72B and later returned and landed at Chambers Field (NGU). The transponder was on and shows speed and altitude consistent with landing on and taking off from a carrier. I'm not positive what carrier it would be, but according to marinevesseltraffic.com, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) left Norfolk 7 days ago and according to the U.S Naval Institute News, it's off of the east coast of the U.S in the western Atlantic, so I'm guessing it's CVN 77. It's probably also where Roman21, an F/A-18F Super Hornet from VFA-106 according to Ron's (mdmonitor) callsign list(Roman) and as reported by freqhopping as being visible on the adsbexchange.com, was heading. I see where it looks like various aircraft probably took off from, landed on, or interacted with a carrier fairly often, and W-72 is often used for carrier operations(per VACAPES OPSMAN or VACAPES EIS or FEIS, sorry, no links) , but this is the first time I've seen one that looks like it actually landed with its transponder on. (not just disappeared from view before landing.)

HULK 25 exchanges pleasantries with TITAN 25 on 141.75 AM.

Confirm 141.750? That’s a new one for them; they usually prefer 142.750.


Could somebody be so kind as to provide me the frequencies for the F-18 Rhino demo team?

They don’t use a tactical freq during the demo. You’ll only hear them on their squadron freqs when they arrive/depart for the shows.

Change to my last post, on careful examination of the flight track, GRYHK72 seems to have landed on the carrier around 1:41Z, taken off again at about 02:10Z, circled once, landed again at about 02:19Z, took off again at around 02:24Z, circled once again and landed again around 02:31 and turning off or otherwise losing the transponder, then took off a little before 04:04:24Z to return to Chambers Field. It also appears that the carrier was on a south-easterly course of bout 135 at between 6 and 9 knots.

11:49 am - Biden's South Lawn departure, originally scheduled for 11:15, has been delayed. Should be departing shortly.

12:15pm AF1 82-8000 on the way to Los Angeles

Interesting set of players today looks like 09-0016 is backup but headed northwest, not on the path of 82-8000, while SAM224 01-0015 is departing to the SW.
