Sticky Thread for MilAir II

[Gemini]

Ref above: Jeff, I've got nothing on 296.6 in my records.

Rgr. Tin,


BTW The freq was 296.9

Recently new for me as well. Used extensively in GK areas but predominately by VA ANG. But I have caught JEDI on it talking to VA ANG and also have had BEAR coordinating ACMs.

Still unsure as how to tag the freq but still working it.

Also worth noting is that the Signal Strengths I see for this freq are exceptionally better than those I typically see for the majority of the other freqs I hear in the GK Areas. Quite often the 1st FW freqs are a little aggrivating for me to listen to as I tend to lose them at the lower altitudes. This freq does not appear to be as prone to this.

1730: There has been a NAVY RU-797 flying around the area. Heard him with TRACON on 119.85. However, he has been calling VR-53 many, many times on 280.2 which is the normal VAQ-209 freq at Andrews. VR-53 is an Andrews unit also.
1738: NAVY RU-797 with Andrews Tower on final for runway 19L...118.4
Seems he never did make contact with VR-53 but he's still trying all the way down to the ground. Since he never made contact with the VR-53 unit on 280.2, I guess we can't assign a new use to that freq...yet. I believe he's a C-130T, BuNo 165351 from VR-55 Point Mugu CA.
(No question about it now....just checked the VR-55 homepage and their tails are RU.)

Add NAVY RG-910, C20G, BuNo 165094 from Hawaii to the visitor list at Andrews. He departed ADW to the north.

I don't pay close attention to the MUSSEL helos at Andrews but I believe I almost always hear them using one or two digits as a suffix. I heard one about an hour ago using MUSSEL 668. Anyone know if that's normal?

1831: HOIST 90 (KC10A, tail 79-1949, 305th AMW, McGuire AFB) to McGuire CP with arrival message....30 minutes out, A-2 for APU #1 generator bus, no pax or cargo...319.4

1845: SAM 1160 (C37A, tail 97-0400, 99th Airlift Squadron Andrews) landing at ADW...118.4
1845: AIREVAC 01791 (C130H, tail 90-1791, 164th Airlift Squadron OH-ANG) landing ADW...118.4

I sent a message to someone else about the GOLD 82 but forgot to post it here. I also left off BOLAR 99 going into Dover who said he was on the local out/back run today. Went to Charleston and back. He was loaded with 12 pallets and 39 pax and his Mode 4 IFF was inop. That was around 1700 with Dover CP on 349.4. I probably missed posting several other transports too while messing around with other things and the radio noise in the background.

 

[freqhopping]

I've never heard a MUSSELL flight with more than double digits.

Just now heard HUNTRESS on 139.7. I guess he's talking to BLACKJACK (can't hear) and asked them to call back when they're RTB.

2037-Both BLACKJACKs are up. I can hear -1.



One flight from yesterday I haven't seen mentioned.
Beginning at 1840 FAST-58 Marlinton>Montebello>Blackstone>Langley via HARCUM

 

[Gemini]

I sent a message to Rene about the GOLD 82 but forgot to post it here. I also left off BOLAR 99 going into Dover who said he was on the local out/back run today. Went to Charleston and back. He was loaded with 12 pallets and 39 pax and his Mode 4 IFF was inop. That was around 1700 with Dover CP on 349.4. I probably missed posting several other transports too while messing around with other things and the radio noise in the background.

FWIW I have 1 single audio Clip of GOLD 52 calling OPS at ADW on 234.8 0320 hrs 03/09/07

Resorted the Audio list and have several more from GOLD 52:
03/09 0317: 386.6 GOLD 52 calling ADW PTD
03/09 0320: 234.8 GOLD 52 calling ADW OPS
03/09 0326: 378:1 GOLD 52 CALLING ADW CP. looking for Aircraft that are supposed to be coming out of ADW NAVY SIDE. Wants CP to call Navy side for more info.

Also:
03/09 0543: 285.4 MAZDA 05 switching to an unheard freq

Figured I would stick these up since you guys were discussiing CORONETS

2037-Both BLACKJACKs are up. I can hear -1.

2043: I'm hearing the female BLACKJACK 2 getting ready to land at Andrews...118.4/119.3
Actually, it sounds like BLACKJACK is just playing around the localizer to ADW...doing some flight procedure training. BLACKJACK is complaining about the ADW Tower's transmitter as have many, many others today. Tower has a good transmitter but keeps changing back to the bad one until someone complains and then switches to the good one for a bit. There's probably some maintenance guy that took a look at the bad one and told the tower operator there's nothing wrong with it. And around and around they go.

And on the three-digit MUSSEL, thanks Travis. I though that sounded unusual when I heard it.

FWIW I have 1 single audio Clip of GOLD 52 calling OPS at ADW on 238.4 0320 hrs 03/09/07

He was at ADW to escort some EA-6Bs that were due to leave for Iraq yesterday. It was scheduled for early in the morning - like 3 a.m. - so that fits perfectly Jeff. I wanted to hear them go out but wasn't going to stay up that late.

03/09 0543: 285.4 MAZDA 05 switching to an unheard freq

Guess they got out of here much later than planned if they were only with ZDC-Casino by 0543. Makes it look like they must have been about 2 1/2 hours later than the schedule indicated.

2145: REACH 4133 (C17A, tail 04-4133, 305th AMW, McGuire AFb) with arrival message to McGuire CP...A-1, ETA 0315Z, no pax or cargo, need crew transportation and parking...319.4
2220: REACH 8054 (C17A, tail 98-0054, 62nd Airlift Wing, McChord AFB WA) to McGuire CP with arrival message...estimating blocks 45 after the hour, maintenance diverting to McGuire due to a ?WACS? computer inop...8 pax, cargo is a throughload...319.4
2246: REACH 506 [female] to Dover Command Post with arrival message....25 minutes out, A-3, needs a baggage loader, a crew bus and parking spot...needs Customs and Ag...349.4
2310-20: REACH 8448 (C5A, tail 70-0448, 89th Airlift Squadron, Wright Patterson AFB OH) calling Dover CP...349.4 (He has said REACH 8448 several times but it should be 0448 based on his tail number - last dight of the year and last three of the serial.)

No Dedication ;-)

I was out of town all day yesterday but had it on the recorded audio. I have spent the last 5 hours reviewing recorded audio from 3 computers and still have 2 to go.

Thanks Mark. I was too tired to look it up.
Correct on the REACH 9064...C17A, tail 99-0064 from the 62ndAW at McChord.

2353: HOIST 94 (KC10A McGuire) calling McGuire CP...319.4

Time to call it a night. Till tomorrow...

 

[Mateo]

1348: BLAZER 210 being given climb vector commands on 118.95, but no responses were heard, so I assume he was on UHF freqs. Was given -D> HAFNR and handed to ZDC on 284.7. This should be T-45A 163610, seen earlier this week at Dulles (by Mr. Citationjet himself), and carries code B-210.

1611: SAM 1252 (C-32 98-0002 seen) on 119.85 vectoring over IAD and into ADW.
1728: NAVY RU 787 (C-130 seen, and I'm perfectly willing to accept 165351 as a BuNo) on 119.85 going over IAD and turning ENE to set up for an approach to the 19s at Andrews.

Re: MUSSEL 668 - I've never heard a 3-digit callsign, but I've seen 69-6668 in 1st Helicopter Squadron markings as recently as this past October's Dover show.

 

[freqhopping]

AMBUSH-11 flight of four. ZDC-Norfolk>Tar River looking for FL290 > ZDC-Hopewell at FL280 not getting an answer on 323.225
Don't know where they went after that. I thought I may have heard them with Gordonsville.


1027 FAST-58 departing ADW 257.2 >ZDC-Linden, up to FL270
1032 ???? FL270 for FL360, the callsign didn't sound anything like FAST. Then FAST-58 direct Charleston.
1034 Freq change to ZDC-Moorefield
1046 Got FL360 from 380 because of a swift headwind. Freq change to 363.175. Must be new, I don't have it listed.

 

[TinEar]

1250: SAM flight off from Andrews. It's a C20B, tail 86-0202 and he's using his tail for a callsign...SAM 60202. I've never noticed them do this previously...TRACON 118.95 and then over to VHF ZDC at 1258.
1300: NAVY RU-787 (C130T, BuNo 165351, VR-55) off from Andrews....TRACON 118.95...handed off to ZDC at 1306.

1345: PIT 19 (C130H, tail 86-0419, 758th Airlift Squadron, Pittsburgh PA) in the area (missed freq)
1359: PIT 19 calling McGuire CP...319.4
[As much as I'd like to believe the callsign is PITT since it's from Pittsburgh...it's just one 'T'...maybe an inside joke in the unit]

1401: REACH 9006 (C5A, tail 69-0006, 433rd Airlift Wing, Kelly AFB TX) to Dover CP reporting off at 55, heading to Kelly...349.4
1403: PIT 19 to McGuire CP with arrival message...15 minutes out, delivering 9 personnel...319.4

1413: Navy JR-093 (C20G, BuNo 165093, VR-48 Andrews) to Andrews Navy Ops transmitting in the blind that he's 15 minutes out...386.8

1504: CAPE 11 (F-15 102nd FW MA) with ZDC-Potomac at FL 430...307.025

1511: CAPE 11 to ZDC-DuPont checks in at FL 430...direct destination...explains that's Otis on Cape Cod, Massachusetts...307.25
1515: PIT 19 (C-130H, 758th AS) back up...guess he dropped his pax at McGuire and scooted away.
1520: CAPE 11 handed to ZNY-Kennedy and checks in at FL 430...282.3
1525: OPEC 76 finally makes contact with McGuire CP but is now too weak for me to copy...319.4
1526: CAPE 11 handed off to ZBW-Hampton and checks in...299.7
1527: BLACKJACK 1 with ADW Tower...118.4 (noted he mentioned a time of 2025Z which probably means he didn't change his clock this morning...just 4 hours difference now to GMT.)
1532: CAPE 11 descending to 10,000 feet...299.7
1533: REACH 5005 (C5B, Tail 85-0005, 436th AW Dover) to Dover CP...returning to base due to a problem...they just took off a few minutes ago...20 minutes out...349.0
1539: REACH 5005 asking Dover for a parking spot or should they go back to Oscar...yup, it's Oscar...349.5

1548: REACH 4135 (Probably C-17A, tail 04-4135, 6th Airlift Squadron McGuire) makes contact with McGuire...30 minutes out, A-1, needs parking...no pax or cargo...319.4
1548-52: REACH 4135 got no response from McGuire after his message so he calls many more times without reply from ground...319.4
1553: REACH 4135 finally makes contact...all he wanted was his parking spot...gets Mike-3...319.4

Coming up on 1600...Time for NASCAR race...see y'all later.

1825 local Navy aircraft req wx on Andrews metro 344.600,no reply heard.Then heard same aircraft
getting wx for New Brunswick NAS on 225.400.He was getting his wx info as he replied several times to report.
I only heard that because I have that programmed as UHF Dover Tower ground freq.
Odd...

Once again FOX TV blew the pre-race flyover of the T-Birds at Nascar race in Las Vegas.
Always seems FOX TV Race director never expects Mil flyovers and seem unprepared.A few seconds of T-Birds
then nothing but camera shots of fans staring skyward... DOH!
Hello FOX? Almost every Nascar race has Mil flyover so be ready next time!

Ref below: Rgr Tin,FOX adds all these in car cameras etc but not much good when they don't know what is going on.
Personally I miss the old ESPN coverage.

I never did mention yesterday that the C130H birds from the DE-ANG were active all afternoon. They use some confusing freqs. Their Base Ops freq is 343.0 - the same as Willow Grove. Their interplane freq is 303.0 - the same as the 108th ARW at McGuire. They were using them most of the afternoon. Among them were CARMEN 5 and CARMEN 7.

0530: JOSA 803 calling Andrews Dispatch...372.2
0538: REACH 481 calls Quantico Base Ops...355.3

0710: REACH 293 landing runway 19L at Andrews...118.4 (And that solves that problem!)
0713: PAT 067 with TRACON...119.85/118.95...going into Davison AAF's runway 32.
0719: JOSA 993 (C21A 84-0077, 457th Airlift Squadron Andrews AFB MD) calling Griffin Command...no joy x3...378.1
0721: JOSA 993 to Griffin Command...no joy on Victor either...141.55
0741: GOLD 81 to McGuire Command Post to inquire about their receivers they're supposed to meet around Sea Isle...He says they were not at Sea Isle so they'll look for them up near Hampton...319.4
At the same time, I'm hearing a couple of tankers - or tanker and receivers - chatting on tanker interplane...139.875
0745: REACH 483 to Quantico Ops...10 minutes out, needs Customs and Ag along with 27,000 pounds of fuel...355.3
0748: Tanker/receiver chatting on 139.875 mention coming up on 378.2 (boom freq)....so, I go to 378.2 and sure enough hear GOLD 81 talking with a U/I aircraft. (They should be MAZDA 21-25, a scheduled Coronet mission for today.)
0751: REACH 509 (C17A, 92-3291, 62nd Airlift Wing McChord AFB WA) to Andrews with arrival msg...blocks at 1220Z, need Customs...378.1
0751: GOLD 81 says they'll be on 129.9 with New York Center for Oceanic clearance...heard weakly there and mentions LMKR...378.2

1136: TACO 81 (F-16, 188th Fighter Squadron NM-ANG Kirtland AFB) just arrived at Andrews...landed with Tower and said he'd park on the Navy side...349.0

1322: Just heard a Kalitta Air 4499 flight landing at Andrews...118.4 (Mark, you mentioned this airline sometime back about something they were doing for the Air Force or DOD. What was the job? Was it to bring home KIA from the war zones?)

About a half hour ago (around 1300) I heard a LOBO 71 flight with Giant Killer on 255.0 going into W-107 for work. Said they'd be working the surface up to 25,000 feet and would have another player with them. I can't place that callsign for any local unit. Said they'd be in from 1700-2000Z.
[Jeff, do you have anything there at Pax for LOBO? See next item.]

And while I was typing the above, I just heard (at 1326) a BAC161NG (A Northrup Grumman aircraft) calling Giant Killer on 255.0 to enter W-107 and saying he'd be working with a LOBO flight. So, that ties the two together. That probably makes the LOBO flight someone/something from Patuxent NAS since that's who they've been working with recently. Registration info as follows:
N-number : N161NG
Aircraft Serial Number : BAC 067
Aircraft Manufacturer : BRITISH AIRCRAFT CORP.
Model : BAC 1-11 401/AK
Engine Manufacturer : ROLLS-ROYCE
Model : SPEY 511-14
Aircraft Year : 1966
Owner Name : NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP
Owner Address : 7323 AVIATION BLVD MS 520
BALTIMORE, MD, 21240
Type of Owner : Corporation
Registration Date : 06-Jul-2001
Airworthiness Certificate Type : Experimental
Approved Operations : Research and Development

At 1330, BAC161NG tells GK he's now in W-107 and would like to work 337.225 (A couple of minutes later he's heard on 337.225)
[He's pronouncing the BAC in his callsign as in the composer's name -- Johann Sebastian Bach -- yeah, that Bach.]
1337: 161NG reports he's ready to start his run...he's level at 17,500 feet...337.225

1400: Have an Egyptian Air Force C130H coming into the area...callsign EGY 1105, tail 1293/SU-BKS. (On one of the TRACON freqs..not sure where he's landing but not heard with Andrews so apparently not there. Now, that's a tad unusual. Probably here to pick up another billion dollars from our treasury in crisp new $100 bills to take home.)
1403: PAT 572 arriving Willow Grove with Ops...306.8
1409: REACH 1193 [female] (C17A, 01-0193, 437th Airlift Wing Charleston AFB SC) coming into Andrews...has 4 pallets and 2 vehicles to dump off...also needs Customs and Ag so she's not an out/back local flight...378.1
1424: BAC161NG and LOBO 71 are still working out in W-107...they have made several "runs" per the card they have for the test flight....337.225
1427: VENUS 32 flying his C40B, tail 02-0042 home to Andrews...arriving 1850Z...378.1
1445: 1778 (C37B, 04-1778) landing at Andrews...118.4 (No callsign..just used tail number)
1447: SAM 1216 (C20B, 86-0202) with ADW Approach for runway 19R...119.3 (Went out as SAM 60202 yesterday to KSFO. Can you guess why?)
1452: SAM 1216 on 7 mile final for runway 19R...gear down...118.4

1536: Just to update -- LOBO 71 and BAC161NG are still doing their work in W-107 and still on 337.225.
1555: LOBO 71 sounds like he's finishing up...with Giant Killer...255.0
1555: COBRA 26 (Possibly EA-6B VAQ-209 Andrews) with TRACON...119.85

I'm worn out...end of log.

So where are the fighters today? Had those Langley Raptors out in W-386 this morning and that was it. None of the ANG units have been heard today.

Ref below: Thanks Jeff. I missed them - was away from the radios right after I heard them go into W386.
Now, tell me something good about LOBO 71.

PA A-10's haven't been up in about a week I think. Odd too, they had their scheduled 'work weekend' this past.

Last nite, about 2315, I was laying in bed, heard something large coming in...looked out the window, definitley something bigger, then flipped on the scanner quick. scared the hell out of my wife, all i managed to hear was what I thought was YANKEE....one checks out to KC-130 VMGR-452, Stewart ANGB, NY. definitley could of been what i saw and heard as well (i know it was not a c-130). by chance anyone hear anything on that? im pretty sure a c-130 came in right after that though too, so i'm not sure if the yankee call was to the first or the c-130.

PA A-10's haven't been up in about a week I think. Odd too, they had their scheduled 'work weekend' this past.

Last week I read on a different thread that they were heard/seen at the Avon range in Florida. So they must be doing some work away from home right now.

I missed the C-130's last night, I must have been sound asleep. I have heard the Yankee Callsign for the KC-130's from NY and also C-130's from the Navy detachment at Andrews.
