Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[jetcrafter]

RCH 410 oceanic clearance was at FL290 M0.73 exiting at PIKIL. Advised Gander Radio they were negative CPDLC. Maybe just broken, or maybe a type not equipped with it ? Anyone getting any A-A from MASH 91-94 ?

Nice catch Airscan. I was just (1954z) getting MASH A-A on 311.3 (121st ARW freq, OH ANG) as they're passing West into Maine. I checked logs from earlier. MASH 91 and REACH 410 were using 308.8 for their boom freq at 1748z Eastbound. I have this as a Coronet LANT Juliet Primary freq.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I did hear RCH 410 get a selcal check on HF 5616 (couldn't hear the code). So probably just a transport with an inop CPDLC system.

Heads up in the coming days, have some RCH flights heading down to OTBH which came via Mildenhall, Coronet East 060, should be heading west bringing Saudi F15s for RF 22.2.

Positioning tankers below, RCH831 never made it out of Mildenhall today so either they slip or split the fighter cell?

Now at 2042z I'm getting comms on 319.175 Coronet LANT Kilo Pri which I believe is EDDIE 98 working another tanker discussing their Primary boom freq will be 308.8 I didn't see any receivers plotting but I found EDDIE 98 (62-3511). Now at 2056z, I'm hearing comms on 308.8 but hard to make out callsigns just yet.

Eddie98/99 working Moncton center for AAR with RCH967 (not on ADSB).

Correction - I believe it was the two EDDIE tankers I was hearing talking about their upcoming AR as they were heading East. This make more sense as the freq matches the unit from OH not the MASHs from Grissom IN.

At 2107z they are currently refueling on 308.8 one of the receivers gave a tail as 07-7182 (C-17) sounded like REACH ?67. That's all I have on these HEAVY transport refuels today.

Sorry

2146z Update -
Listening to LiveATC Moncton Center, I can now confirm EDDIE 98 refueled REACH 967 and EDDIE 99 refueled REACH 982.

Do the Opposing Forces usually run a Kfir for training in the Chesapeake?
I have seen some cool OPFOR a/c up your way, recently. Great job on logging, folks!

Not Milair but as I have been in the doghouse from time to time I thought this may be of interest --

A doghouse struck by a meteorite has sold at auction

A doghouse that was struck by a meteorite fragment in April 2019 -- complete with a hole in the roof -- is among the items that sold on Wednesday in an auction of rare meteorites.

Now he's already heading back.
Back in Baltimore now. Kinda a short mission.

Excuse my ignorant post on the Kfir; realize now how much I have been missing by using the military filter in ADSBExchange. This is everyday bread to you folks up in milair paradise. I find this discussion one of the best!

Most helicopter/osprey activity in my area show up as generic UFOs so I'm constantly switching from military filter to "show everything" with P enabled always.

Is Mt. Weather similar to Site R? Is it underground? It looks much more complex from the top.
