Thanks for posting that Paul. I feel for those pilots that will have the CAP duty for three days and nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. I know it's what we all signed up for when we joined the military but I still wish they could be home with their families.
************************************
1430: There is an AXEMAN flight (and probably another) of A-10s from MTN working the Patuxent area. Hearing them on their interflight freq 142.3.
1450: One of the MTN A-10s is giving a weather report for the Pax area to Raven Ops. It sounds like there are more flights about to go down to that area...143.8
1453: U/I flight with Pax reporting he'll be going to mach 1.1 at 36,000 feet...270.8 (Certainly not the MTN A-10s
)
1458: CRAB 54 (C-130J MD-ANG MTN) to Crab Ops reporting he's 10 minutes out, he'll arrive with 25K on the fuel, is A-3 for flaps overspeed (sounded like that anyway)...385.9 (Crab Ops is loud and clear on this freq just as he used to be before they seemed to drop this freq for several months.)
1504: CRAB 54 with Martin State tower preparing for landing...121.3
1504: Crab Ops calls CRAB 54 and tells him to go to 148.925...385.9
1505: CRAB 54 calls Crab Ops on Victor...148.925 (his transmitter is very weak/bad on this freq and I can't hear ground here either without opening squelch...he was repeating his arrival message)
1512: Langley tac/interflight freq 233.525 active.
1514: BUGSY 21 flight of two F-22A aircraft check into W-386 G-J for the next 30 minutes on mission V-2011 with Giant Killer. Says they'll be MARSA with a DEVO flight (also F-22A)....238.1
1516: Giant Killer's ops freq 391.2 active...sounds like the BUGSY flight.
1521: TORCH 71 flight (F-15 Langley) trying to check into warning area W-72 with GK...238.1
1523: TORCH 71 changes freq to 233.7 to enter W-72 1B and reports as a flight of two F-15s climbing to FL 230.
1530: WOLF 01 flight (F-22A Langley) checks into W-386 A-F at Fl 230 with Giant Killer...238.1
1534: WOLF 01 announces switching to tactical freq at this time (but doesn't say which)...238.1
1541: BUGSY announces RTB for fuel...391.2
1543: BUGSY 21 flight tells GK they'll RTB now and are descending to 14,000 feet from area Golf...238.1
1544: BUGSY flight cleared direct Langley...238.1
1548: AXEMAN pair of A-10s coming home to Martin State...report 10 minutes out, both Code 1 to Raven Ops...347.2

1549: BUGSY 21 flight back on interflight freq 233.525 as they approach Langley.
1551: AXEMAN flight reports 17 miles to the southeast of the field...with MTN Tower...297.2
(The AXEMAN pair switched to AUX 5 and then AUX 3 on their "back" or auxiliary radio but I never heard them on any of those freqs and they should have been in range. Hmmm...)
1552: WOLF 01 announces RTB via HEELS in 20 mile trail with DEVO...238.1
1555: RAVEN flight of three A-10s also coming home to MTN...report 10 minutes out...1 is Code 1, 2 is Code 2 and 3 is Code 3 (what a coincidence)...with Raven Ops...347.2
1556: AXEMAN 1 and 2 report gear down, full stop landing....297.2
1556: REACH 288 calling Andrews CP...378.1

And also a closure at Patuxent NAS as follows:
AERODROME CLOSED 23 NOV 04:00 UNTIL 27 NOV 12:00
And a couple of interesting NOTAMs for Oceana NAS:
AIR REFUELING WILL TAKE PLACE FOR VFA 213 ON THE NTU 169 RADIAL 12-55 DME 12,500-14,500 FEET AGL. 21 NOV 20:15 UNTIL 21 NOV 21:30

1600: REACH 288 makes contact with Andrews CP to report he's an inbound C-17, tail number 03-3126, is A-1, has 5 vehicles and 30 pax, needs parking spot...378.1 (he's also being asked about seats available on the outbound to Charlestson...says if there's no cargo, he's got 64 available...parking in 13 row. (I'd guess this a support aircraft for the President's visit to Asia returning to Andrews.)
1604: RAVEN flight all reporting gear down for landing at MTN...297.2
1605: PACER 95 to Griffin Ops...arrival msg...30 minutes out, IDs as a C-21, tail 40115, is a home station trainer so has not pax...wants crew trans for 2 to (Building) 1420....378.1

1614: PACER 95 calls Caribou Ops on 283.75 to report "Things are very slow up here today. They're vectoring us all over the place." Report they'll be in at 1635 and apoligize for the delay. He also says he had a different freq in Channel 20 but he's got the right freq in now. (meaning the 283.75 freq)
1619: JOSA 514 calling Andrews...378.1 (no joy after a couple of calls)
1620: REACH 8049 (female) calling ?Shaw? Command Post with arrival message...will arrive on the hour, A-1, needs crew bus, parking spot and latrine service. Wants to know if Customs and Ag will be available when they land...381.3 (there is also a male speaking on this freq at the same time but no callsigns given - almost sounds like a crew member on intercom that hit the wrong button)
1628: ASCOT 6863 calls Dover CP several times on 134.1...no joy
1631: ASCOT 6863 makes contact with Dover CP on 349.4...arrival msg given but difficult to copy...is A-1, mentions nil offload but then says he has 4 pallets, needs a power cart and wants parking instructions...gets B-3 for parking (I missed several items in his report due to language barrier...sort of a Cockney accent.)
1635: End of log.
NOTE: For those of you that tune into my scanner webcast each evening, the old PC running that program has crashed and burned. The broadcast will not take place over the near future and I'm not sure when/if I can resume the operation.
