This morning had an interesting catch.

In the 0800 hour had Brave 1 & 2 (DC ANG F-16s) working w/Huntress (139.7) in a training scenario involving a couple of TOIs and using "simulated Guard freq". Info on the TOIs was passed to Huntress using a formatted msg of 9 lines.

Later in the 1100 hour had Cosmic 41 & 42 w/Huntress (260.9) working the very same scenario of two TOIs and "simulated Guard freq" and passing TOI info in formatted msg.

Didn't know Dover aircraft also hit the Bollen Range for work..
Logged this one 01-0186 C-17 as ROYAL 23 on March 24th..
Some cool high res pics for download.
Flares keep birds in the sky

This one gives nice overview of Bollen range..Note target buildings on right in high res shot.
Also a freight train in background..Not sure if target or real..Back right shows mobile targets like tanks.
Prob what Maryland A-10's also practice on..

Travis,

My guess for 254.425 would be Langley F-22s from 27/94th FS. Other guess would be a PAX test discrete.
