54 AS out of Scott AFB. Operated into ADW as SPAR 19. I take it SAM flights don't usually use these aircraft ?

Sounds more like Boeing flight test operations in the South Jersey area. Signal is actually stronger at PA site then at NJ site.

Ground station is TM (aka Telemetry)

Okay in monitoring Boeing Flight Ops in PA, they have another aircraft off the helipad. The operation on 123.200 is a CH47 out of Summit Airport in Delaware and the chase aircraft is a Summit Aviation aircraft N418SA. See the attached for their operational working area.

They are returning to their base at Summit Airport. I would presume they may be on with Dover Radar 132.425 or just with Dover Tower 126.350

One of the acft asked the "chase" to let Dover AFB know they won't be going lower then 3.500 ft.

Sounded to me like WHISKEY. New MA ANG callsign for me.

Yeah I heard that....looks like Boeing in Middletown Delaware is licensed for microwave frequencies (data telemetry) so that makes sense based on the test altitude of about 10K. See license.....

FCC Callsign WPWF779 (THE BOEING COMPANY)

Middletown Delaware would be Summit Aviation.

Did you hear the part about the CH47 slowing down so the Cessna 182 could keep up with them ?

The Carrier USS Carl Vinson arrived back San Diego after losing a F-35C on this trip..
Blue Angels training in El Centro welcomed them home.. At first I thought was just a cloud popping up.
The new smoke machines on Blue Angels can really pump it out on a hot hazy San Diego day
Watch the Blue Angels fly over the USS Carl Vinson as they returned to San Diego from deployment. - YouTube

From Scramble news I know has been mentioned here already.

About 30min ago (2:15pm) I had an armed Blackhawk fly over me about 10 miles N of Lakehurst, along with another unarmed UH-60 escorting it. I see many blackhawks around here but this is a first for me. Only a TIS-B hit showing up.

The "armed" part of that -60 is actually an external fuel tank.
