Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2022

[freqhopping]

Rgr noticed that same pattern on Live Mil mode s ADSB site also..
Latest shows inbound ADW's. Not sure here. Almost like intentional spoof track.
Same tail but two different tracks..

Flightaware has the partial Lajes track which makes more sense. Almost seems they were keeping Bermuda as possible divert.
Strange flight path.
IAM4679 Italian Airforce Flight Tracking and History 06-May-2022 (TER / LPLA-KADW) - FlightAware

Two different aircraft. One being miscoded. IAM4684 arrived ~1635 local.

IAM4684 Italian Airforce Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware

Track Italian Airforce #4684 flight from St. John's Int'l to Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility

IAM4679 arrived three hours later.



A bunch of Italian C-130 codes don't show any activities for months. There could be a lot hex sharing or miscodes.

TREND 51, 53 and 55 flight were working Maastricht control on 398.025 this afternoon while overflying the Netherlands.
Air-to-air frequencies were 293.300, 271.400 and 266.600. They should be departing tomorrow to Ohrid airport [LWOH].

I have a recording of their A/A comms, will try to post it tomorrow ...

Here is the soundclip I promised, TREND 51, TREND 53 and TREND 55 flight checking in with
Maastricht radar and their unedited air-to-air comms at <293.300>, <271.400> and <266.600>.

I don't know what all the fun was about with TREND 53, maybe someone will understand .....

Rgr TREND-53 seemed to have laughing gas in her air mask
SOXOS was a strange sounding waypoint.I think She laughed at that too.
293.300 is Base Ops freq at KMTN but also doubles as A/A. 271.400 and 266.600 are normal A/A freqs here for the MD ANG A-10's.
Nice catch Near end sounded like call London radar on 127.365 or was that something else?

Thanks Mark, appreciate your translation ....

They were handed-over to Langen radar, controlling the airspace below fl. 250 into Spangdahlem, Ramstein and several German airbases.
