Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[TerryPavlick]

Here are some F18 pictures on the ground at KPHL from a news media web cam...CANYON 21 flight
and the last is the ADSBexchange view of the same fighters taxiing after landing.
I did see the Golden Knight DH8D go by on the cam - but they were quicker than my fingers.
The CH47 was 15-08188
Photography aircraft for the opening ceremony was N2426G (C206 aircraft) and they almost collided with a Frontier flight departing KPHL.
Tower told them to keep their turns over the field north of the departure corridor. If you go to archives on LiveATC for 118.500 after 15:20 local time - you can hear the controllers comment.

BOBBY-74 KC-10 #85-0032 Southwest dep from Bangor now seems to be landing Wright Pat prob
as next leg tanker when AK CUBES F-22's decide to go home.I recall on first wave of CUBES that KC-10 did the
same running them as far as Edmonton Ca.Those F-22's got good range with those ER Altrav wing tanks.

Golden Knights plane did lots of loops in the area..

Check out the camera aircraft - the long TV shots during the game - I think they burned a hole in my monitor.

Gonna take them all the way back to Langley? BOBBY-71 was supposed to go back home to Fairchild KSKA after handoff.
Crew probably not happy about that.

Guys,

Attached is a file I have been working on for the last couple of years. My purpose for the file was to keep track (by ADS-B ident) of local acft. The reasoning being, if units changed callsigns this would be one way of seeing who the new calls belonged to.

Many thanks to Jetwash for cleaning up the file and making easy to post here on the Forum. My original file was in Excel and the Forum "attach files" system wouldn't let me send that way. I'm "technically challenged" so I couldn't figure out how to make it work so Jetwash was kind enogh to fix it for me.

Just open the attached file in Excel and Voila.

Hope you guys find this useful

So, again, Thank You Jetwash..
