Aviation museum plans reception

The Hagerstown Aviation Museum is hosting a special reception Sunday. Museum members and donors who helped secure the return of the Fairchild C-82 Flying Boxcar to Hagerstown are invited to attend, as are other aviation enthusiasts.

Frank Lamm, who piloted the historic return flight home, will recall the adventurous and emotional flight. A large screen presentation of museum history, auction purchase and return flight of the C-82 will be shown. Tours of the C-82 will be available, weather permitting, and other museum aircraft will be on display in the hangar.

The reception will be from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Hagerstown Aircraft Services facility near the airport off U.S 11 North at 14235 Oak Springs Road, Hagerstown.

1408: AXEMAN flight of two MD-ANG A-10s from Warfield ANGB on interflight...142.3
1409: AXEMAN reports to Raven Ops they were airborne at 08...Ops acknowledges...347.2
1413: Refueling activity...288.0
1414: NJ-ANG F-16s on interflight...138.425
1421: MAI TAI 61 (F-22A Langley) with ZDC-Cape Charles ...256.8
1424: MAI TAI 61 requests handoff to Giant Killer...256.8
1424: MAI TAI 61 to Giant Killer on 238.1, no comms so switches to 249.8...his flight is working Event 2204 and he'll be MARSA with NACHO and RANCH flights.
Haven't heard the F-22As in a long time.
1426: MAI TAI 61, flight of two, says he's working in W-386D and is changing to 36...249.8
1426: Very weakly heard NACHO 41 (I think) reporting to Giant Killer...249.8
If RANCH shows up and is determined to be F-22A, it will be a new addition to the Raptor callsign list.
1430: RAVEN flight of MD-ANG A-10s report airborne at 28 to Raven Ops...347.2
1433: Very weaky heard someone say on 337.225 (GK freq) to switch to 288.0 (refueling freq) and then heard them even more weakly on that freq. Perhaps someone in a different area can pull out some callsigns. Thought I heard a BICEP (NJ-ANG) on 288.0 but not sure at all of that.
1437: NACHO 51 to Giant Killer to check in the area...238.1
1437: Confirm BICEP working the refueling freq...288.0
1438: Giant Killer's tactical freq active with F-22A activity...292.3
1440: BICEP 1 completes his AR per the U/I tanker...288.0
1440: BATON 74 with Baton Ops...395.1
1440: AERO 22 (NJ-ANG F-16) also with the tanker on...288.0
So...we've probably got BICEP 11 and AERO 21 flights active out in W-107 working GK's tactical freq 337.225 and with the U/I tanker on 288.0. On the scanners I can just barely tell there's activity on 288.0. With the R8500 I can hear them when they talk but the freq is very noisy with static interference of some type. One of the flights is working interflight 138.425 but no callsigns heard there yet.
1445: HIRE 70 (C-17A 62nd Airlift Wing, McChord AFB WA) calling McGuire Command Post...x2, no joy...319.4 (Tail #99-0061)
1449: Giant Killer's tactical freq active with F-22A activity...391.2
1451: MAI TAI 1 RTBing to Langley....249.8 (didn't state he had a problem as a reason for breaking from the flight to RTB)
1454: HIRE 70 to McGuire CP to report about 20 minutes out, arriving 15 after the hour, requests 95,000 pounds of fuel, has 78 pax to offload and 3 baggage pallets...needs servicing due to losing engine oil...319.4
1455: MAI TAI to ZDC-Cape Charles at FL 200...256.8
1456: BICEP to HUNTRESS...wants to know if there are any ?marshalls? on board...337.225
1457: RAVEN to Raven Ops to relay from AXEMAN that they are not going to "The Grove" today due to weather...143.8
1457: MAI TAI cleared down to 16000 feet...256.8
1458: NACHO 51 (F-22A) calling Giant Killer...no joy x3...238.1
1459: NACHO 51 to Giant Killer...says no contact on 238.1 but they are leaving W-386D at this time to RTB to Langley...233.7
1459: MAI TAI 61 tells ZDC they're in a 2 mile non-standard formation...256.8
Earlier, when I weakly thought I heard NACHO 41, that might have been RANCH 41 which would fit for the three flight mission...MAI TAI 61, NACHO 51 and RANCH 41. I would suspect RANCH would be another F-22A since he was flying with two F-22A flights. Adding it tentatively to the F-22A list.

1502: BICEP asking HUNTRESS about what type cargo aircraft they're looking for and does it have an Air Marshall on board...337.225 (I'm only hearing occasional transmissions on this freq - I guess when they turn just right or get up enough altitude.)
1504: NACHO 51 to ZDC-Cape Charles checking in at FL 200...256.8
1505: MAI TAI 61 flight with Norfolk TRACON...370.925
1507: BICEP to HUNTRESS to say target was intercepted..."TOI splash"...mentions calling the FAA...337.225
1508: Both BICEP and AERO flights report "teminate" mission...337.225
1511: Sounds like BICEP/AERO are beginning a new target acquisition...337.225 (Wish I could hear more of this mission. Sounds interesting and a bit different. Training to shoot down an airliner is one thing but imagine what a pilot would go through in a real scenario having to do that. They'd follow orders...BUT...
1515: AXEMAN still working interflight 142.3...making up missions as they go...probably out over the Bay...never did hear the RAVEN flight on an interflight freq even right after takeoff. I suspect they were on a low band FM freq but haven't caught one of those by this unit in a long time. I wonder if they've changed their FM freqs?
1516: The BICEP/AERO flights have faded from listening range.
1522: Oops...still there...AERO 21 with HUNTRESS giving a BRAA to the TOI...122/66/22000/southeast...337.225
BRAA=Bearing, Range, Altitude, Aspect (direction of flight)

Time for me to fade away too. 'Till later...

Interesting story on military.com about a synthetic fuel test in a B-52. I think the author made a mistake though in the story when he says the new fuel costs $20 a barrel. Did he mean $20 a gallon? What do you think?

I caught the 419th FLTS doing the initial testing for that at Edwards a few months back, using an MT B-52. Some economists have said the only thing that would ever get people looking seriously at alternative fuels, would be a fairly large increase in oil prices. I guess they were right.

1837: REACH 3125 to McGuire CP...319.4
1937: STEEL 62 (KC-135R PA-ANG 171st ARW Pittsburgh--tail #58-0074) to Steel Ops...311.0
2004: JOSA 946 to Andrews mentions circling over the airport - didn't say why...378.1
2037: MAPLE 24 (F-16 VT-ANG Burlington) with ZDC-Salisbury checks in at FL 260...he's been heard ever since leaving Burlington by listeners in New England...257.7
2042: MAPLE 24 cleared down to FL 200...257.7
2044: MAPLE 24 calls Maple Ops on Detachment Ops freq...repeats barometric pressure as 2973 and reports 114000...138.0
2046: MAPLE 24 cleared down to 12,000 feet....257.7
2047: MAPLE 24 handed off to Norfolk TRACON and checks in at 12,000 feet...370.925
2048: MAPLE 24 cleared to 3000 feet...370.925

Late addition: Just want to mention a JEDI/JINX 52 (C-17A) going into McGuire at 2321. Says he's 20 minutes out, A-1, no cargo or pax, needs parking spot and crew bus. He called a total of five times...the first and last he used JEDI and the middle three he used JINX. Guess he was confused.

20:45 - ROCK 84 doing some approach work with Willow Grove GCA on 128.675. Has been going at it now for about 25 minutes it seems.
20:55 - ROCK 84 now working with WG Tower on 119.6
21:00 - contacting 913th opps, one last touch and go and then they are landing
Thought i also heard ROCK 61 at one point coming in for a landing.....guess these guys are trying to get in as much flying as they can, seeing as how they are pretty much finished at the end of next month. Gotta feel bad for them.

Interesting note, Rock 84 is one of the 913th's demodified HC-130s with a funny nose. They used to be 'fulton recovery' system planes, and then were made into weather recee planes, WC-130s apparently. They received them in the spring of 06, and just started flying them. He was flying around 1730 today as well, caught a few pics out of my window as he went by. Sun was going down, didn't have time to change up settings on the camera, anyways...thought you guys might like to see what he looks like! Lighter grey than usual and on the tail, AFRC and then in purple WEATHER.

1424: AXEMAN flight still up...now with Dover Approach IDs as a flight of two A-10s and mentions going over to Atlantic City...257.875

Four A-10s (MOTLEY x2 and HENDO x2) from MA-ANG Barnes to Andrews with Navy Ops for unspecified mission. MAPLE 69 from Langley Detachment to home in Burlington VT. PA and MD-ANG A-10s flying around the area. CAPE 11 F-15 from Otis MA to McConnell AFB Kansas. Lots of transports moving around the area and high winds reported from here to New England by listeners.

Okay, enough logging for now. Time for other stuff.


Mark (or anyone), are the JINX/JEDI callsigns used for training at McGuire by any C-17A unit such as the THUG callsign is? I have them listed for McGuire but I've noted aircraft tails assigned to Charleston also using those callsigns.

Tin,

Caught this same xmsn and heard the flight number as 1, but the callsign was unreadable.

Tony

Just below the line you quoted Tony is where I caught it. It's HENDO, A-10s from Barnes also coming in with Navy Ops.

P.S. Okay, I will. :)

267.35 FM has some activity now.

Also just missed some callsigns with ZDC-Gordonsville > Blackstone and someone with Montebello.
1704- Well, there was activity on 267.35. Maybe I caught them finishing for the day. Now listening for anything inbound to any place I can hear.

ARMY-263 complaining about wake turbulence.
1730ish- JOSA-360 home station flight with 3 pax. 378.1
1742- MARINE-664 15 min out with a code. 141.55

The Navy's new stealth helicopter?
And doesn't exist anywhere on the internet because it's still classified. :)

I don't know either. Not a clue. Notice there is not a single marking on it anywhere. It looks like a primer coat of paint on it while perhaps awaiting its final paint job. WAG time. Looks military but no weapons visible either.

Rgr TIN GARBO 34 was probably a Pax River E-6,Those Pax callsigns for E-6's are never the same and they usually check in with Huntress when headed towards North Atlantic.

Had a THUG 01 flt of 2 into McGuire,tails are probably C-17,s 00-0170 and 00-0183
both McChord 62AW jobs.

Also heard COBRA 72 depart Andrews 2257z,relay to Offutt.Must be the OC-135 special.

Thanks for that GARBO translation Mark. I don't have anything at all for that call. And your THUG 01 is much better than the "BUD" I thought I heard until realizing it had to be THUG. By the way, the two tails for them are 99-0170 and 00-0183 and they are definitely from the 62nd at McChord. I can also confirm the COBRA 72 you heard was indeed who you said it was -- an OC-135B, tail number 61-2672 from the 45th Recon Squadron. He came into Andrews in the 1800 hour I believe.

There's also a PETRO 95 (tail 79-1712) floating around the area somewhere - a KC-10A from McGuire

I just did some work on the McChord 62nd Airlift Wing to identify their C-17s. Here's the list of what is stationed there if you want it. The list isn't necessarily all inclusive. It's what I've been able to identify only.

0715 327.125 MAZDA 75-76 flt of 2 F-16's diverting to Atlantic City with problems.
Our tanker GOLD 22 KC-135 will also land.
Mentions fixing problem before the crossing.

0950 relay update: Been told these are F-16's headed to Moron Spain.
Tankers are GOLD 11,12,13,21,22,23.

GOLD 22 mentioned they would use 4925 Khz on crossing.
Probably A/A with other tankers since GOLD 22 and company will be so far behind.
