Who and where is HMX?



"Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), is a United States Marine Corps helicopter squadron responsible for the transportation of the President of the United States, Vice President, Cabinet members and other VIPs. A Marine helicopter which has the President aboard uses the call sign "Marine One". In addition to its VIP transport role, it is also tasked with operational test and evaluation of new flight systems for Marine Corps helicopters. Nicknamed "Nighthawks", they are headquartered at Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico, Virginia, and maintain detachments at Naval Support Facility Anacostia in Washington, D.C. and Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility in Maryland."

Looks like P-3 159812 WARLOCK1 could be doing laps in the MRB area. I'll have to listen for it.
QAF003 A320 A7-AAG heading ESE across central VA.

C-17 01-0189 ELVIS71 altitude all over the place so I'm not sure how high it really is or where it may be. But steady at 2900ft > now, so maybe MRB?
Showed down to 1900 then jumped to 26,000 where it has stayed. :confused:

1325- KC-10 BLUE41 83-0079 with ADS-B heading up the Delmarva coast. Descending, probably into McGuire.

121st FS DC ANG

Guys,

One of the Georgia listeners posted this today. Seems the DC ANG F-16s are down there for this exercise. He noted they used the Gunny callsign---I had heard them use this callsign for a couple of years.

The Savannah Combat Readiness Training Center and Air Dominance Center is
hosting an exercise for the next two weeks named Sentry Savannah. Most of
the activity is air-to-air using the special use areas off the coast, but
there has been a bit of air-to-ground activity at Townsend Range. F-22s
from Tyndall, T-38s (I think from Tyndall), F-16s from Washington DC, and
F-16s from Duluth, MN are the visiting units. There are also KC-135s from
AL, TN, and IA. Here's what I've heard so far:
