TinEar said:1951: Confirm...AXEMAN and RAVEN flights going to the Duke MOA and will refuel. One flight is 18 minutes ahead of the other (not sure which is first). The lagging flight advised the first flight to jump on the tanker if he's there. They used their Ops freq as a common...143.8
They'll be operating on 259.4 in the Duke per a message from Ops.
2006: REACH 369 (C-17A, 04-4137, 6th AS McGuire) arriving Andrews....ETA 30 past the hour, no pax or cargo...378.1
2011: CRAB 56 (C-130J, 98-1356, 135th AS MD-ANG) with Crab Ops...385.6
(CRAB 52 is somewhere in the area too)
2015: Here he is...CRAB 52 (C-130J, 97-1352, 135th AS MD-ANG) w/Crab Ops...385.6
That reminds me...I still haven't pinned down exactly where their drop zone is. I think it's around Phillips AAF. The callsign they use for the drop controller is AEGIS DZ (Drop Zone) and usually use 148.925 when they talk to him.
2022: Saudi Arabian Air Force HZ 124 climbing out of Dulles (A-340, tail HZ-124)...TRACON
[That Brazilian Air force C-130 that I logged last night - tail FAB2466 - was in the area again today around 1300. That's the only other foreign air force craft noted today.]

2036: CRAB 56 to Crab Ops with arrival message...20 minutes out, A-1, 23K on the gas...385.9

The past two nights, Coast Guard Station Hampton Roads has been received here better than Baltimore. They're loud and clear on channel 16 - 156.8.
Ref REACH 6159 (C-17A, 06-6159, 60th AMW Travis) mentioned also that he was scheduled for an AR op but would cancel and take on fuel at McGuire. Wanted the scheduling agency notified. I also had an OPEC 49 (KC-10A, 79-0434 I think, out of McGuire) hanging around and asking someone on 311.0 about his scheduled refueling. He might have been the one left without a dance partner.
