I have 238.85 as Pack A-A (thanks to Ed in Maine). Is that still valid? Are there others?

I'm listening/watching remotely at this time, When I get back home I will check my Milair comms log for today and see if it was used.

Two aircraft are doing approaches at KSBY Salisbury MD. One is WARLOK02 Hex AE5C17 at UV18.
What is the other aircraft's call sign and type ?

Hex is AE69DA - just a bit too low for me to hear on Salisbury tower freq of 119.425

That aircraft just arrived at Andrews from Greenville, Texas as SAM 300. It used the VENUS 79 callsign, later showing a SAME 55 ADS-B ident, a couple of days ago on a test flight out of GVT.

This should be the final regular VIP interior G550 deliveries. Last commercial delivery by Gulfstream was in July. I think there a few special mission government modified G550s going to foreign countries still to be delivered.

After the stop in Honolulu Secretary Blinken's plane SAM 978 made another tech stop in Pago Pago, American Samoa and is enroute once again to Melbourne, Australia.

When I was stationed in Oz, those were usual stops for the C-141s & C-5s, along with Christchurch in NZ, and Richmond in NSW.

Thanks for the correction. I had transposed the numbers

Around 1015 this morning there was a HUNTER 11 flight cleared into the Ft. Drum Range R5201. Is this a Selfridge A-10 ? Don't see it in the callsign list. There was also an MQ-9 COBRA 01 going to the Range that was handed off to Wheeler-Sack Approach on 120.225, I've never heard this frequency used before (?), the HUNTER flight about 10 minutes later was handed off to the regular Wheeler-Sack Approach frequency 124.875. Another MQ-9 working in the GRIMM and OSWEGO ATCAAs was cleared to R5201 via the "Reaper Procedure". Whatever route that is ?

Yep, this one is correct. Confirmed active today.

Yes, this is a Selfridge A-10. They are back on the Range now 273.250 Air/Air.

There was also an MQ-9 COBRA 01 going to the Range that was handed off to Wheeler-Sack Approach on 120.225, I've never heard this frequency used before

Interesting, I have not heard that before either. I hear 133.750 used as GTB approach occasionally - those times it has been a hand off from 124.875.

Yes, this is a Selfridge A-10. They are back on the Range now 273.250 Air/Air.

Thanks. Yeseterday the BOAR flight was told to try JTAC on 141.675 but came back to 226.900 complaining the frequency was unusable with interference and blocked by some sort of "relay" (their words) with other stations. Have you heard that one used or any other VHF JTAC freqs. in the R5201 area ?

Yes, I have heard 141.675 used a few times. It is the VHF side of Barkeater 244.500. I also get a lot of interference on that freq so have to lock it out of my scans. I heard BOAR flight calling on that freq yesterday and one of the MQ-9's who also reported lots of interference and had to return to 226.900. The interference is probably coming from the Canada side when the aircraft are at a certain altitude.

Have not heard any other VHF JTAC freqs. The only other similar freq is Drum Radio on 141.025 but I think that is generally used by low level helicopters transiting the area and too low for me to hear usually.

1010- Savor 50 (E-6B # 164387 VQ-4 Det) off PAX heading northeast.

Out of MacDill (Pax to MacDill on 6th according to my notes).
is it my imagination or is MacDill being used more by the E-6s over the past few months?
