Got N632TK orbiting Dumfries/Quantico area now. Seems like I can only get 1 side of the conversation on (136.275). Plane was saying everything's good and they had to change to 8500 ft because of winds. Is this the input channel? Like would I be able to hear both sides of the conversation on a different freq?

It's not a repeater. They're probably talking to a ground unit.

Haven't logged this old C-12 tail in many years if ever..

(AE08C0) 73-1214 C-12C King Air 2045z Titus 52 inbound Andrews from Edinburgh Scotland where it had a nose wheel flat according to reports and spent a few extra days there before onto Iceland etc.

This tail was doing embassy duty in Malaysia back in 2011 and appears it came
West thru Middle East this past Month..Maybe home in US to finally retire?

Red Flag 16-1 finished up Friday 2/12 with some folks from out east here..
Mass ANG F-15C's, 335 FS SJ F-15's and Tyndall F-22's and SC F-16's.
What ever happened to New England Mil fans? seems they have dropped out of sight on boards.

Cool flight line video of various types.. The AT F-16 tail taxiing threw me but they are Arizona ANG Test Center F-16's.Course got to like the Dyess 9th BS "Bats" B-1's taking off.
