Boeing in Ridley Park PA that test flies the CH47 and V22 usually use 123.200, 123.250, 123.425, 267.200, 321.700 and 49.80 FM

Wednesday they had two flight tests active V22 at Millvile and CH47 at Summit Aviation. So they were using 123.200 and 123.250 for air to air and air/ground. Primary arrival and departure frequencies with Boeing Tower are 123.250 and 267.200

Terry,

I'm pretty sure that I'm too far away to hear them. Would expect their test to be a fairly low altitudes.

Well if I read the text correctly - the current leg of the flight was filed as AE058A using SELCAL code DRAJ but was supposed to be as we see it displayed AE0560 with SELCAL of FHMQ

You might be surprised.

According to my records AE058A belongs to C-5M # 87-0045. So they must've switched acft.

You might be surprised.

Terry,

Got them plugged in & will see what happens.
Thanks

Will try to remember to activate my site link in PA. I can hear Boeing Tower and aircraft on the ground there quite clearly. Only 2.75 miles from the site to the Boeing Tower.

Vintage military aircraft collide mid-air at Dallas air show

Vid shows that was really bad as C-17 cut in half. Almost looks like intentional Kamikaze type hit..

Possible STEELJAW tac on 362.475 a bit ago. Saw one earlier and now hearing “Jabroni 2” calling “Jabroni 1.” Definite prop sound in the background.

2035- Elvis 88 working over A.P. Hill again.

 

[Mark]

1153- Potomac (119.7) advises acft " the F-18s are inbound now"
1157- Potomac clears Drago 51 to Martin State.
1158- Drago 51 (self is as flt of two) on Martin tower (254.425) requesting a carrier break at 800 AGL

Ron i was getting some weak A/A coms maybe from that DRAGO-51 flight on 227.400.
Heard one say to other "This is how we are gonna make this work"
Could be VFC-12 A/A possibly as they arrived yesterday at Martin State as AMBUSH 11,12

They were a little late for the Anthem at the Navy game today which was played at M+T Stadium in Baltimore.

[Hbright]

SAM250 moved today from RMS-XJD Al Udeid.

 

[wbagley]

SAM250 moved today from RMS-XJD Al Udeid.

Thanks as always for the tip!

I think Al Udeid was the fuel stop on the way to Paya Lebar, Singapore.

The routing in the FMS box to WSAP from the satcom appears to be:
