Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

Forgot French Aircraft carrier DE Gaulle has US style catapults so even Carrier Bush F/18's can
land and depart on it and their own French E-2C's.

NOBLE-1 flight heading South A/A 263.200 saying that was their longest sortie ever for a CAP.
That was a long 6+ hour shift.. I guess with shorter daylight times they can squeeze out two shifts of F-15's instead of 3.
1243 NOBLE-1 flight inbound Langley over Cape Charles with Norfolk Tracon 370.925

RMAF-217 landing Dover 132.425 gives callsign "Romeo,Mike Alpha Foxtrot 217" Has very good English.

I use a Diamond discone D130J. It's been up 15 feet from the ground for 22 years. Still works and looks like new. Don't get the cheaper imitations. Get the Diamond.

I too use a Diamond discone, Mine is in my attic but works like champ.

Looking at these, wondering what your opinion of the Tram 1410, and what the difference might be (besides a savings of $75)

Guess just off the Gerald Ford Carrier already inbound Norfolk I assume. Wasting no time headed home.Nice catch!

See a OMEGA-71 climbing up out of Omaha seems headed South.

At 1500z Omega-71 departed out of Greenville SC and did race track pickup just West of Roanoke
but only made it to Omaha.. Maybe thats all it was needed for.

Don't know who's Blackhawk or where except down in tropics but sure had a close call with troops also sitting on the doorway.
After Blades hit water sounded funny so set her right down ASAP.

267.5 & 263.2 are interplane freqs for the Nantucket CAP

Ron, are these Langley fighters A-A? If so, I need to add them to my Langley freqs.

 

[mdmonitor]

Ed,

They are only used by the OR ANG F-15s (prob sqdn discretes) while on TDY CAP duty at Langley.

Ok, great! Thank you for clearing that up so I don't need to add these to all my scanners for Langley. Much appreciated Ron.

Thank you Ron. Most look familiar (I think I got them from you in the first place), but I'll go through them and see if there's some I don't have. Thank you for sharing!

Would have rode and grabbed some pics if I knew it was at Seymour.

Correction guys these same CAP freqs were also used by Cal ANG and Florida F-15's working the CAPs.
Mass ANG used their own squad freqs.
The 3rd NOBLE CAP common freq is 268.525

Omega-71 went on South to San Antonio Intl airport KSAT from Omaha at FL25k like dragging somebody.
Not sure what they were doing..
The USS Gerald Ford is due into Norfolk Saturday.Short less than 2 month publicity shakedown test cruise.
Maybe depart again with another carrier wing besides CV-8? Prob wait till after the Holidays.

"USS Gerald R. Ford is a first-in-class aircraft carrier, and the first new aircraft carrier designed in more than 40 years".
