Here we go again.. NOBLE-01,02 taking the CAP and again ZDC 363.000 is still deaf to Center.
You would think someone at ZDC would make a note of that and make a change and list that freq as unusable.
NOBLE's make switch to new freq 307.250.

Late yesterday afternoon a KC-10 began refueling orbits with passes over the house, which eventually led to this photo opp. Here the F-15 had just finished fueling, pulled back then alongside the KC-10 to acknowledge the fill-up, then dropped to bank hard left and shoot off. The early evening light and clear atmospheric conditions set the stage for this photo. This was the first KC-10 I’ve noticed overhead – we usually get KC-135s and KC-46s down from New Hampshire. This guy was fairly local, from McGuire.
1050- NOBLE 01 checking in ZNY 282.3 direct Deer Park, sounds like the first team heading home.
1052- Just heard the rumble go over me.

After being in the shop in San Antonio since November 30, 2020, VC-25A 92-9000 comes home to Andrews as VENUS 02.

After 9/11, a friend of mine that worked for the FAA as a radio tech and his buddy had so many calls from ZNY in the area they served for rfi that they couldn't keep up with them. I told my friend that I would volunteer my help in trying to locate some of their rfi issues. On a vhf ZNY freq in Feb 2002, there was a dead carrier (no mod) less than a half mile from me in the Reading area where the tx for the area was located in Selinsgrove, PA. It was intermittent and the carrier moved up or down in freq by about 10KHz off the ZNY freq depending on the temp. The a/c over Reading reported a dead carrier so ZNY had them change to a b/u freq. As I drove around with my vhf beam, I located the rfi from the local Y102 (102.5) WRFY FM Reading radio station tower which is less than a half mile from me. It had me stumped for awhile until I saw some other antennas on the tower. I called the radio station and talked to the engineer and told him what was happening. He told me there were several paging companies using their tower for paging. I started listening to the pager freqs and found one that when it wasn't paging, I heard this dead carrier come up on the ZNY freq. When the pager sent a tx out, the carrier dropped! When the paging stopped - the carrier appeared. I called my FAA friend and told him what was happening; in the mean time ZNY switched to another freq. It was a couple of weeks until the FAA sent 2 techs from New England with a $20K equipped truck to check the issue and my buddy told them that the carrier moved up/down the freq depending on the temp. The two FAA guys parked at the Pagoda mountain top (about a mile from the Y102 site) and filed a report that they heard no rfi as told to me from my FAA friend and that ZNY could use the freq again. When I was on my way home from work after 11pm that night, I heard the carrier on again and I thought those idiots didn't bother to check above or below the freq for the rfi. I told my FAA friend the rfi was still there and now the a/c said they are getting a dead carrier on the freq again. After getting the pager techs and my friend up to the Y102 site a few weeks later; the one pager tech found some components burned out on one of the circuit boards which was leaving residual voltage back into the circuitry and resonating on the ZNY freq. Because the circuit was unstable the freq would drift a few KHz off the ZNY freq. The tech replaced the circuit board and voila no more rfi on the ZNY freq! My FAA friend's boss out of the Lehigh Valley airport thanked me and gave me a wall certificate for my help and a brand new vhf/uhf military vertical antenna. The pager techs asked who discovered the problem as they never heard of anything like this happening to their equipment and my FAA friend told him my ham radio buddy figured it out and two of our best FAA techs failed to fix the problem.

I think perhaps I spoke too soon.
This is possibly a post-maintenance acceptance flight with a USAF Andrews crew onboard from the VENUS 02 callsign.
