115AM local...just turned on radio. Pair of NJ ANG F16 COSMICS doing intercept tests with BLACKJACK 01 and two civil air patrol Cessna 182s. COSMIC air-air on 298.6. 350.25 and 126.55 with ATC. BIGFOOT ON 139.7. COSMICS not heard lower than 9K feet and up to 14K feet. Civil air patrol Cessnas at 1800 and 2800 feet. There's also PAT099 95-00099 Beech C-12V at about 8K feet that seems to be involved...sometimes trailing the air patrol Cessnas and sometimes leading on the same path.

Simultaneous but not related, the Commonwealth of Virginia has a Cessna T206 "Turbo Stationair" that flew from Lynchburg Regional to about 5 miles SW of Warrenton around 5K feet altitude making themselves dizzy with repeated 2-mile-radius circles

155AM. Everybody RTB. COSMICs at FL210 neaded NE. Civil air patrol northbound over the Potomac. The Beech seemes headed direct IAD.

worked with the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office to help locate a missing suicidal woman near Springs Rd. Fairfax 1 was also up. Unclear if they found her.

Anyone else see this one? Took off from DTW, I know it's a bit far for Mid Atlantic, but it's just East of me and this is where I get most of my info. Though it interesting nonetheless. (no comms btw, )

That's just the Colonel Ollie North shuttle between Detroit, Miami and Managua.

Nothing to see here folks. ;)

No, it's due to it using two ICAO addresses concurrently. Position data sourced from different onboard systems and the flight tracking website isn't 'clever' enough to combine them despite the twin addresses being known.

Like I said, the aircraft only has one hex address, AE1166 is listed some databases, AE1167 in others. The plane itself does not use both as far as I know.

Other instances where ADSBExchange will display the double target are when data is received from ADS-B or MLAT and another source like TIS-B or ADS-C.


Here's a shot of AF1 with a phantom TIS-B target in formation.

I see message 36. It seems to discuss having both 978 and 1090 ADS-B units on the same code. I don't believe a Boeing would ever have a 978 UAT would it?

No but the FAA addressed the question about having two transponders with two different Hex codes active at the same time while the aircraft is in flight.
