Got an order wire on 362.3 but the only thing I'm seeing in the area is SPAR23 C-40 05-0932 inbound to ADW.-

1750- C-37 SPAR29 due in 30 minutes.
1803- C-37 SAM772 30 minutes out
1815- SAM772 99-0404 now showing a flight ID
1817- SPAR29 01-0029 now on mode-s

VENUS01 (82-8000) just departed ADW enroute to KMDT for touch and goes. Just got handed off to Harrisburg approach (124.1).

 

[FIREBOX2914]

Anyone picked up 92-9000 lately? Havent seen/heard it airborne. AF1/2 Seem to be a constant VC-25/C-32 pair the last few months it seems.

April 23 was the last time I logged it.

Got a possible F-15 on mode-S. Hearing 1st FW on 228.45, possibly with ZDC 257.7

Guys,


Looks like East Coast TACAMO (Fire Opal) is coming back to Pax River. New East Coast TACAMO is probably Flat Ware. Fire Opal was ttrying to contact Flat Ware on 311.0 but no response. Just heard Fire Opal say they were 15 mins out of PAX.


Fire Opal is E-6B # 164404 & Flat Ware is # 164407

164406 is also heading east. They took off from Travis AFB a couple of hours ago and they're already over Oklahoma; so they're in "haul ***" mode, and not their normal "loiter" mode.

That C-32B GOYA16 on the map, last night I saw that heading into ADW it looked like. I was too busy to follow it wherever it went.

I logged TERRA97 C-32B 00-9001 mid-morning


1800- GAF291 3E8A6E landed at Dulles

 

[Tech792]

11/10/15 @ 2140 local- PAT 388 C-12 Huron into KWRI (92-3329) 118.65

Anybody know what's using mode-s 040000? I tracked it on Flightradar24 from SC to Buffalo, NY on Sunday and was never able to hear it with the centers as it passed through this area. I even listened to Buffalo approach on LiveATC when it was descending into that area. Had it down to like 4k and never heard a thing.

It just passed through this area in the coastal area at FL310. Never heard it UHF or VHF, now descending into the CT area on a track totally different than all the other traffic in that area.

1715- It went down to 1800ft about 30 miles east of Poughkeepsie, NY.

Travis,

Thanks for the correction. After he checked in on 128.35 I left the radios and just assumed he landed at Andrews.

FBI's got heavy surveillance going on now. Cessna 182 focusing Burke like it has for months now. But there is also Cessna 560 looping all over Fairfax and Prince William counties.
