Good news as KC-10's are really needed these days but recently been
having mech problems that need addressing.
Have heard two in last week rtb McGuire with severe alpha 3 problems that scratched missions.
They are getting tired or need some real expertise overhauls.

As a matter of fact, a KC10 declared an emergency yesterday. HOIST 44 reported a wing AR line wouldn't retract.

I ended up tracking these to Connecticut. They're on the way back now, currently over NE MD.


Went out to Martinsburg yesterday to hunt. It's a drill weekend On the way there I noticed a low C-130 parallel to Leetown Rd. Got some pics of it once I to the girlfriend's mom's house. It made a few passes in the pattern. Later in the afternoon while out in the woods saw a Blackhawk with red crosses on the sides go into MRB. Sometime after that heard the props wound out for a while then suddenly nothing. About 5 minutes later I saw ANVIL68 at 4-5k ft over the base turning back to the west RTB Charleston. The C-17s were flying today, only got a brief glimpse of one before heading home.

ANVIL68 95-6709

Guys,

Anyone have the current freqs for the Pentagon Heliport? Are they still in business? Haven't seen any posts on them for quite awhile

 

[Tech792]

Any one recognize the ID of CASTLE? Doesn't come back to anything. Have 2 C-130 Hercules orbiting west of ACY on 343.0 (CASTLE 06 and 50) Sounds like they're dropping radiosondes. Keep referring to 'sondes".
Edit: Tracked it down from the reg: Comes back to DE ANG.

The DE ANG C-130s out of Wilmington/Newcastle started using Castle callsign several months ago---probably from the Newcastle location
