Sticky Thread For MilAir 2015

[Tech792]

yes that seems to be the case. Thanks. Its also on their homepage.
I was also off on their location. They were circling over Coyle Field (an army drop zone) for a few hours last night.

 

[freqhopping]

Was out at Pt Lookout today. Saw what appeared to be P-8 167951 and unknown chase plane doing counterclockwise orbits. At the northern end they were passing over the point. Also saw an MV-22 in helicopter mode flying east to west over the point.

What's the chase plane? Tail looks like a UC-35, but the wings are swept and seem to have winglets. I'm thinking C-38A.

Edit: Must be, they bought two from the Air Force earlier this year, 94-1569 and 94-1570

Guys,

The F-22s and Rafales are out in W386 again this morning.

The Frenchies are using 257.075 as their A-A speaking French.

Nice Photos,are these over the air field.......

 

[Mark]

Seems 94-1570 still flying as BOXER 17 on 12/11/15
however logged as SCORE 86 back on Nov 16-20.
Maybe duel setting on mode s box still showing really old callsign Boxer 17.

94-1569 dropped off the mode s everywhere back on 7/27 so maybe getting work
or new unid mode s.

Nice catches..

I was 18 miles SSE of the field. Wish I had my 300mm lens. This was 200mm and manual focus while sitting in a kayak. For whatever reason this camera (D3100) really has issues auto-focusing on planes at altitude. These were probably around 15k ft. My D40 was better at photographing planes.

Last night 2125z FRED 50 C-5M 84-0060 into Dover from local
and a mess..alpha 3 for lots of things..Landing gear,avionics,manifold overheat #3,4 engines.
I think was recent C-5M upgrade and sometimes it doesn't go well at all.

What does "Alpha 3" mean? Did they declare an emergency? Also, 2125z is ~4:30PM locally, so did this happen in the afternoon, or around 9:30PM local?

 

[Mark]

Yes around 4:35pm local.. Alpha 3 means "Not mission capable"..
No IFE heard but they had to get waiver for BASH (Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard) as most bases around here have flocking bird problems this time of year around sunset.

Scott,

I maintain a callsign list which I send out every 3 months,

Was wondering if you have a current list of the Langley callsigns---would be super if you have them by sqdn 27th & 94th for the F-22s and theone for the newly reactivated 71st and their T-38Bs.
