I think the local FBI planes are doing something different now. I'm not home to see if I'm tracking one on mode-s. But the one I'm seeing now doing loops over Sterling isn't showing online. Maybe they've shut off mode-s and only using mode-c or something now.

Now it is July almost time for Red Flag 16-3 at Nellis..
Hot enough to fry eggs on the wings?
Anyway lots of local area squads headed that way including high voltage AC F-16's and DC F-16's.
(Noticed both local F-16 squads busy lately in warning areas)
F-16 show out there with 4 visiting squads of F-16's (not counting local Nellis aggressors) and some Langley 1FW F-22's to boot.

Nellis AFB to host Red Flag 16-3 July 11

these belong to PHI Inc, some sort of Petroleum Helicopter operation. Flight Aware said they'd been flying out of Easton. don't know if working on refineries, pipelines, offshore stuff, or maybe leased for something else.

Those are medevac helos. N329PH has filled in as Aircare4 when N431P was away for higher level maintenance.

I know N303PH is currently subbing for N324PH Aircare3.

I don't think they "operate" (base) out of Easton: I base my aircraft at ESN and haven't seen them routinely. However, there is a hanger at 2W6 (St Mary's County) next to the MSP hanger that has blue & yellow helos - might be those. I think they used to be based at 2W5 (Maryland Airport.) PHI is a large operator of helicopters across several industries.

Medstar Helos (Medstar 1,2,3) are at 2W5 ((Medstar 2)) (Maryland Airport), FME ((Medstar 1))(Tipton)[MX Base], and 2W6 (Medstar 3)) (St Marys Airport) Use to be at FDK & ESN as well

N721PH is an Air Care Unit from VA. Odd it is at ESN unless they were on an Incident on the VA Shore and stopped for fuel.


For those who care...
Other Medevacs in Md:

N522ME/ STAT Medevac 10 (Johns Hopkins Lifeline) at Pier 7 in Baltimore
N329PH/ Express Care 1 [University of Maryland Medical](PHI Helo) at MTN
Life Net 81 (Air Methods) at HGR

thanks for info

maybe they were just pit-stopping as suggested.

Interesting thread.. Reading some more,the normal range on those little Med-Evac choppers is only 180 miles. No wonder the fuel pitstop there.
The larger MSP AW-139 can go 675 miles according to AgustaWestland.
