DynCorp is a private company with the contract to provide maintenance and all sorts of other ancillary services at Andrews and a bunch of other bases.
Tried to go for an afternoon at Gravelly Point, but there were heavy buildups blocking my Andrews view, and lots of ground stops for the airliners, so I left fairly quickly. Of note, though:
1710: -231.3 (Pentagon Tower)- HAWK 30 (UH-60 seen) is at Hains Point and told to report Tidal Basin inbound, since Pentagon is landing to the west. He's just dropping off a pax, and heading back IFR to FAF (Felker). He's cleared to land on the pad, and told to reposition to Pod 3 (Sod 3?) after the passenger is let off. At 1717, Tower passes the clearance (via DAILY, 5000'), and the departure frequency (125.65).
1725: -128.35 (Potomac Approach)- VENUS 40 (C-37 97-0400 seen) is handed off to ADW Tower 20 miles out, skipping the 119.3 step entirely.
17:30:00: -231.3- The usual message - "Pentagon Tower is now closed. Will re-open tomorrow morning at 0730 Local."
Heard, but not seen, were PAT 176 departing (on 118.95 via LDN to the West), and REACH 504 Heavy departing (on 125.65 via DAILY to the south).

Re: GARBO
No, it definitely was GARBO. I have only ancient, now out of date listings for GARBO, but all were C-130s (one being the old 939th RS AFRC out of Portland) with the exception of an E-4 listing.

Thanks Matthew for the confirmation of DynCorp. I guessed correctly at the spelling.
After all these mentions of Gravelly Point, I've got to ask where that's located?

Hi Alan,
It's the park just to the north of Washington National.

Thanks Tony. But...but...it doesn't say you can watch/listen to Andrews in this description...
While it affords a lovely view of the Washington skyline, the main attraction of this little park, built on a landfill just north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, is the airport's runway, just 400 feet away.

Wish it were that easy - it was transiting "Alabaman" airspace W-E so originating point was somewhere further West of that...

Oh. Okay, that complicates things more. If I knew that the C-130 would be parked at a spot visible from the road I'd take a ride out to the airport to see if I could see it, but neither the ANG nor Army parking spots are visible from the road.

2100: RIDER 85 (ID Above) on AR218/220 freq telling his tanker he'll be on time and gives his squawk as 6521...352.6 (Can't hear the tanker but we know it's from McGuire)

Also heard a JINX 32 (C-17A, 04-4129, 6th AS McGuire) and REACH 2108 (C-17A, 02-1108, 62nd AW McChord AFB WA) on ZDC VHF but not sure of the freqs...I'm still not used to the new speaker placements and am not looking at the correct scanner in time)
Gotta quit. The site is operating too slowly.
Editorial: This is just plain sick...dirty...nasty. Military.com has a story of a "phishing" scam being played on military spouses. This is what they're doing...
The American Red Cross is warning military spouses about a new identity-theft scam that involves a person telephoning a military spouse, identifying herself as a representative of the Red Cross, and telling the spouse that her husband was hurt in Iraq, was medically evacuated to Germany, and that they need the spouse to verify her husband's Social Security number and date of birth to start the paperwork.
If they catch the ones doing this, they should stick an IED up their butts.

HANK 25 E-4B, 750125 overhead the Netherlands this morning at 6:30 GMT and landed in Germany Stuttgart (EDDS).
Also monitored some very interesting USAF traffic in Europe last days during visit of POTUS in Europe:
261.675 Mhz FLTSATCOM8 was relaying UHF AM fightercontrol traffic of 12B (unknown UHF setting). The USAFE formations were fully armed and training in Italy-Albania area, but also supporting as backup and CAP flight for the Air Force One. A/R frequency is unknown but called channel 11A.
Heard on June 10th:
QUID 90 KC-135R USAF tanker from Mildenhall in UK (EGUN)
QUID 95 KC-135R USAF tanker from Mildenhall in UK (EGUN)
QUID 86 KC-135R USAF tanker from Mildenhall in UK (EGUN)
WOLFHOUND is CP USAFE Ramstein Germany
WIZARD ALFA, BRAVO, DELTA is E-3B and E-3C from KTIK
FROSTY [VCO] E-3B / E-3C
BUZZARD formation F-16 from Aviano AFB in Italy (LIPA)
GRIM formation F-15 from Lakenheath AFB (EGUL) in UK
RANGER is unkown (prob. AF1 meant...)
Routing back at 15:36 GMT was MAGGI-BRINDISI-AVIANO at FL180. GRIM 22 had an engine control malfunction. They switched all to TRAIL(?) at 386.800 Mhz.
Tirana CAP flight BUZZARD was RTB via TAPIS at FL240.
Note: WIZARD ALFA, WIZARD BRAVO etc. is Tactical call sign (back end radio), MATCC and pilots of the E-3 used SHUCK as c/s (front radio)
E-3B Sentry deployed:
SHUCK 81 780576
SHUCK 82 770351
SHUCK 84 750560
SHUCK 85 750557
E-3C Sentry deployed:
SHUCK 83 830008
Some audio files can be found on my website NCA log. Logging is in Dutch... sorry for that!

Thanks for both those pieces of information Mark - especially the type ID on GARBO 67. I had an inkling he was an E-6B from VQ-4 and I think you just put the last piece of the puzzle I've been working on into place for me. I'm even going to suggest a specific Navy aircraft - BuNo 164386.
Edit: The second possibility is another E-6B 164408. There's some question whether this one is another VQ-4 aircraft or belongs to VX-20 at Pax.
HuubRoem said:
Huub, thanks for the great information. I don't believe I've ever heard the front end of the E-3s using callsign SHUCK. I've got the callsign listed in my database for Tinker's E-3s but have never heard them use anything but SENTRY for the front end on this side of the pond so I found that interesting.
I'll take a look at your website later in the day when I have time. I've heard you have done some excellent work with military air comms.

There's activity all over the place around the 1000 hour...
BULLY flight of DC-ANG F-16s heading home to Andrews shortly after 1000.
Two flights of NJ-ANG F-16s are up on interflight freqs 138.425 and 138.875. The guys from 138.425 checked in w/Harrisburg 273.525 and then FSS to enter that low level route in southern PA.
MACE 91 (163rd FS, IN-ANG Ft. Wayne) flight about to land at Andrews w/Approach 335.5 at 1013.
DC 91 (KC-135R, 62-3543, 756th ARS Andrews) arriving home to ADW early 1000 hour.
COLT flight of MD-ANG A-10s reported takeoff at 1003 on 347.2 and are working interflight 142.3....heading for Pax.
Lots of KC-10A types from McGuire are flying in and through the area - including CACTI 11 (83-0081) and CACTI 21 (87-0122) returning to McGuire early in 1000 hour. They probably accompanied a flight from Europe to Shaw.
Transports all over the place including VENUS 23 (C-20B, 86-0203) who took off at 1008 and is heading to Dover and Atlantic City for 3 hours.
And almost forgot to mention the F-22As working out in W-72 with Giant Killer entering/exiting on 233.7. One callsign is BOBCAT working GK's tac freq 391.2...F-22s on interflight 233.525.
Other than those few dozen, not another thing is happening in the first 15 minutes of the 1000 hour.

1517: RODD 22 (C-5B, 87-0037, 337th AS Westover) arriving Andrews at 30 past the hour, looking for info on ramp freezes and parking...378.1
(Strange...I thought the RODD callsign was only used by Westover C-5s for local training missions - and the spelling does have two Ds according to their PIO.)
No ramp freeze NOTAMs have been published for Andrews today.
1518: Someone is working the Bollen Range on 237.2...believe it's MD-ANG A-10s because 142.3 interflight is also active
1552: RAVEN flight of three A-10s report to Raven Ops they're 10 minutes out, three Code 1s...347.2
Late 1500 hour and early 1600 hour...have an aircraft with ZDC-Irons 360.85 and now with Andrews Navy Ops 251.5 that's concerned about wind forecasts and told Irons he may have to divert to Dulles. Now with Navy Ops and apparently the weather warning has been cancelled so he'll go to Andrews as planned. His callsign sounds like LEAPER 1 but I'm just not sure of it.
1609: ?LEAPER? 1 handed off by ZDC-Irons to Potomac TRACON (ADw Approach) and checks in there at 12,000 feet...335.5
1611: REACH 3119 (C-17A, 03-3119, 183rd AS MS-ANG Jackson) reports takeoff time as 10 after the hour...378.1 (This was EVAC 33119 on inbound flight yesterday)
1614: LEAPER 1 being vectored toward runway 1R at Andrews...cleared from 8 to 4000 feet...then to 3000 feet at 1616...335.5
1614: CACTI 1 (KC-10A, 83-0081, 305th AMW McGuire) gives arrival message to McGuire...319.4
1620: LEAPER 1 cleared for ILS to runway 1R...335.5 (or maybe 349.0...forgot which speaker I was listening to)
1622: LEAPER 1 to ADW Tower and cleared to land on runway 1R...349.0
1635: REACH 489 (C-17A, 02-1101, 437th AW Charleston) on the way into Andrews...378.1
Andrews seems to have improved their reception on the 378.1 freq but have not fixed it. Reception seems to be spotty for them. They'll get one transmission and then miss the next.
Does anyone happen to have that SALTY DOG 537 (SD 537) from VX-23 at Patuxent that I logged earlier in the day in their database? I'm trying to learn aircraft type and, if I get real lucky, the BuNo of that bird.
1648: Nasty looking weather cell on radar moving this way. Looks like it's in Harford County right now moving into BalCo and BalCity and coming right at me in AA. Moving from northeast to southwest direction. Getting ready to unplug antennas and turn everything off in the next 10 minutes.

Rgr Tin was 3rd of flight of 3 heard into Mcguire,
CACTI 81,91 and 01.
Sounds like tanker support for 12 TREND F-16's from 52ndFW that were to continue today on to Nellis AFB that we heard coming into Shaw the other day for
a rest break. Got to be a long haul flying those cramped F-16's across the pond!
I still remember line from F-16 pilot in early days of CAP duty and he said after 6 hours they had to pry him out of his cockpit.
