A special notice to pilots in the Washington, D.C., area
==> ATTENTION PILOTS <==
AOPA PRESIDENT TO PILOTS: REMAIN CLEAR OF ADIZ DURING STATE OF UNION
AOPA President Phil Boyer urges pilots flying around the Washington,
D.C., area to exercise extreme caution on Tuesday, January 23, during
President Bush's State of the Union address. This has been declared a
national security event, prohibiting general aviation flight within
the Washington, D.C., Air Defense Identification Zone from 8 p.m.
local until 11 p.m. local.
"We don't want GA making headline news after the president's address,"
Boyer said. "It is up to each of us as pilots to be responsible, check
notams, and stay clear of the Washington, D.C., ADIZ."
Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight.
and here is the Official NOTAM:
!FDC 7/0381 ZDC PART 1 OF 4 FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WASHINGTON, DC, JANUARY 23, 2007. PURSUANT TO TITLE 14, CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, SECTIONS 91.141 AND 99.7 SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS, EFFECTIVE 0701240100 UTC (2000 LOCAL 01/23/07) UNTIL 0701240400 UTC (2300 LOCAL 01/23/07).

I wonder if it'll be the BRAVEs from Andrews that have the duty tomorrow night? The TFR for tomorrow's CAP has been posted since January 8th at the FAA's Graphic TFR site. I prefer their site just because their postings are much cleaner/clearer than those from AOPA. For instance:
NOTAM Number : FDC 7/0381
Issue Date : January 08, 2007 at 2020 UTC
Location : Washington, District of Columbia
Beginning Date and Time : January 24, 2007 at 0100 UTC
Ending Date and Time : January 24, 2007 at 0400 UTC
Reason for NOTAM : Temporary flight restrictions for VIP (Very Important Person) Movement Type : VIP
http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html
And then if you want to plot the specific airspace, they give all the coordinates to define the areas. Either way, we still get notice when to expect a CAP in place.
This one will all be contained in the southern Guard Dog CAP area. If you want to put the entire Guard Dog CAP area on a flight map, draw two 20-mile diameter circles - one centered over Thurmont and one over D.C. Then draw about a 15-mile wide corridor between the two circles and you'll have the track for Guard Dog.

I post these cause they are emailed directly to me and I don't have to go searching for them....but you are correct, the tfr's are much nicer.
and on that note:
FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER WILMINGTON ON WEDNESDAY
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Wilmington,
Delaware, that the FAA has issued a notam restricting flight in the
area during President Bush's planned visit on Wednesday, January 24.
There will be a large 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight
restriction (TFR) centered on the DQO VOR's 041-degree radial
at 2.7 miles, extending up to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect
from 9:20 a.m. local until 12:45 p.m. local on Wednesday. Also, there
will be multiple smaller 10-nm-radius GA no-fly zones in effect within
the larger TFR during that timeframe. See AOPA Online for the full
text of the notam along with a graphical depiction
And the TFR:

If you're interested, I finally got around to picking up a helicopter route chart for the area. I took some pics and uploaded them. Most of the images will take up more than a full screen. It's the only way to make them legible.
Having this makes things much clearer now, particularly when they mention 'zones'.

Thanks Paul. The reason:
President George W. Bush is scheduled to visit Wilmington on Wednesday.He's coming to talk about energy initiatives -- one day after his State of the Union address.White House spokesman Blair Jones confirmed the visit to The (Wilmington) News Journal, but said details on time and location were not available.
http://www.nbc10.com/news/10817335/detail.html
I assume the visit will be to one of the DuPont facilities.

Caught a NIGHTHAWK 52 into Wilm Sunday afternoon as posted.
Not sure if test run or leave it there as backup.
Also a group of KC-10's came into Mcguire tonite.
WOODEN 31 KC-10 arrive McGuire 2000z
WOODEN 91 KC-10 arrive McGuire 2350z
WOODEN 01 KC-10 arrive McGuire 0050z
01 is alpha 3 and crew of 12.
Not sure if Travis or McGuire KC-10's.
Sad note had REACH 1197 C-17 arrive Dover tonite with 25 HR's aboard.
Bad weekend in Iraq for our guys... I'm getting sick of hearing these flights into Dover and Andrews.
Hope something changes soon for the better over there.

139.7 For HUNTRESS BLUE 61
Folks,
I am sitting here at work reviewing my recorded audio of the DC CAP from today. Just noted something I was wondering if anyone else could confirm.
At 05:48:39 PITMAN 63 came up on 350.25 (POTOMAC) Checking in, advising they had Tanker 20 miles west of Dover, inbound. Then they advised they were going to try HUNTRESS now on victor "BLUE 61".
They immediately came up on HUNTRESS Freq 139.7 advising good morning and that they were talking to GUARD DOG on 350.25.
What I was hoping was that someone else could give the confirmation that they have heard this freq referred to in the past as "BLUE 61" as I wanted to note this in my notes. A confirmation from others would cement the deal.
I'll likely put this out on MilCom as well to try to get a feel if this applies to other areas around the conutry as well.

Jeff, I've never heard the "Blue" reference to the 139.7 freq. Not ever. Until the recent use by PITMAN for the CAP, I've only ever heard the Andrews BRAVE F-16s refer to it by their preset number which is V-9. I've heard the SPIDERs go to it, while still here, on instruction from HUNTRESS but they just used the actual freq. Same goes for the 138.2 freq which is also used by HUNTRESS - normally when the NJ-ANG COSMIC F-16s have the duty - just the actual freq is referenced. You're perhaps on to something. I didn't get to hear any part of today's CAP. But I'll sure listen for the "Blue" reference in the future now that you've heard it once.

TinEar. I have several other lists that give various "BLUE" designations to certain HUNTRESS freqs I know they do use this and have heard it before but I have no references to this particular freq being "Blue 61". I had an R-8500 scanning only recent CAP related freqs and this was the 2nd transmission of the morning from PITMAN just after they switch from Guard Dog UHF.
Also, as I sit here reviewing more audio, something else worth mentioning. At 07:11 PITMAN on 135.525 is up with GUARD DOG advising they are picking up alot of FM noise on this freq. They requested alternate victor. PITMAN confirms VICTOR 126.55 is the new victor and makes the switch. Unfortunately I was not manning the scanner at this time so I could not punch it in. My logs show the next time 135.525 went active was at 10:48:25. Comms were weak. I only show 4 more transmissions on 135.525 for the rest of the CAP and several of those don't seem CAP related

I agree with you that HUNTRESS uses "Blue" freqs all across the UHF band. I've just never heard it used to refer to a VHF freq. I have a list too that goes up to about Blue 40. Now, that 126.55 freq is interesting and kind of surprises me. It's part of Potomac TRACON's Mount Vernon area freq list. If I had to guess, I would think they'd use one from Potomac's Shenandoah list considering the transmission sites although they are probably able to bring up that freq on any of the TRACON's antennas no matter which area it's in. But that's just a WAG on my part.
Edit: I have to take back what I said above Jeff. I just pulled up a list I had in Word and it indeed shows 139.7 to be Blue 61. It's the only VHF freq on the list other than an old reference to Blue 62 being 124.775 used in this area in the distant past. I don't know where else 139.7 was heard or when but obviously was. So, that should confirm it's use.

Ditto Tin. We'll have to watch for that in the future. Some Pilots routinely reference the BLUE designations while others never mention it. I like the ones that do.
Re the GUARD DOG Alternate. I have put that in a Scan List with the other 2 PTMC APP (GUARD DOG) freqs and noted it as alternate. I will be scanning and recording on it t for future CAPS so we will see what comes back on that. I don't know it they have that as a designated GUARD DOG alternate or just picked it out of a hat. I would assume there is some plan at work here.
EDIT:
Tin, Just saw your confirmation on BLUE 61. That is good enough for me. I have thus tagged it accordingly in my motes. Thanks for the confirmation. We'll likely see some commentary on MilCom from the post I put out as well.
