Landed at Bangor this afternoon.
We just called them by an abbreviation of their tail number (ie November 97 or such).
Working one taught me the value of a high antenna, on one ILS instillation we put the VHF antenna on top of a 60+ foot glide-slope antenna mast vs. on top of the equipment shelter (which was normal), and we could hear a LOT more (as in them just taking off from another airfield and talking about breakfast with another flight check aircraft taking off from a third airfield.

7 injured after F-35 jet crashes on aircraft carrier in South China Sea | CNN Politics
The pilot of a US F-35 jet ejected as his jet crashed on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier in the South China Sea, injuring seven, the US Pacific Fleet said in a statement Monday.

The Great Lakes are icing over, and most shipping is on hold, so most calls are for people ice fishing that drift away from shore.
CGAS Detroit is located on Selfridge ANGB, which has shoreline on Lake St. Clair. That lake has semi-regular ice floe issues. (We used that lake for our ice rescue training, for the Selfridge crash crews, since we could just walk into the ice.)

Today over my house near Site R around 14:00. Headed north north-east. Were actually side by side. My telephoto lense couldn't zoom out enough to get them together.

135.85 or 138.5 (It was a long time ago...) ATC never really talked to them on the frequency we used for the flight check itself. Our comms were probably far more interesting, mostly maintenance / panel operator with info related to the checks themselves.
Thanks
