Sticky Thread for MilAir II

[trainman111]

Actually, I thought we already had it identified as a Barksdale AFB LA B-52.

Jeff edited his post after I posted. I didn't see that. Good catch Jeff!

Tony (CitationJet) also posted a message last week that tied LOBO 71 to Barksdale.

TIN this afternoon had a FLIGHTCHECK 67 do some touch and go's at Dover then
later heard doing same at Phillips both runways 8 and 22.
Phillips tower asked how did we do? and FLIGHTCHECK said everything OK.
Is this an FAA aircraft doing runway appch checks?

Sounds like that SENTRY 02 hanging out at McGuire this week so far.
Working with ROCCO 62 till he had problems.
asked metro about wx for TAF?

OK Google check had this for TAF.Guess he just wanted local McGuire report TAF format.

TAF Decoder

A Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is a concise statement of the expected meteorological conditions at an airport during a specified period (usually 24 hours). Each ICAO state may modify the code as needed. The TAF code, as described here, is the one used in the United States. TAFs use the same weather code found in METAR weather reports.

Ref below: Rgr that and thanks ,He had Phillips AAF turn runway lights up and then back down on appch/departure.
Guess Flightcheck67 was working some local Mil bases today.

Mark, the FlightCheck aircraft are indeed FAA that perform checks at every airport. From an NACO document... "FAA flight inspection routinely inspects thousands of navaids and instrument procedures, including ILS, MLS, VOR, DME, TACAN, GPS, NDB, various radars, and airport lighting." Their aircraft include..."...bringing the total FAA flight inspection fleet today to eighteen Beech BE-300F's, six British Aerospace BAe-800's, six Bombardier Lear 60's, and three Bombardier Challenger 601's..."
You can read the entire article at the following URL which explains the entire story about what it is they do and what they do it with.

Yeah, that SENTRY 02 spent most of the day flying around the area. At one point they called McGuire for a message to be passed to their ground crew at the "Transition Alert Building" that they were 30 minutes out. I don't know if they were just observing today or just what they were doing. There was a Tinker E-3 in the area (DARKSTAR ROMEO/SENTRY 52) working the W-107/W-72 areas so they may have been shadowing that aircraft.

Just want to mention a refueling operation about to take place in this area. At 1118, I picked up STEEL 61 (KC-135R 59-1460, 171st ARW Pittsburgh) talking to BATON 20 (EC-130J 193rd SOW Harrisburg) on the Baton Ops freq 395.1. They were talking about the upcoming AR mission. Then, one of the two mentioned switching to the AR freq and they came up on 295.8 where more chat took place about BATON 20 being 20 minutes early to the IP. They spoke about two lines on that freq and suddenly said to switch to secondary AR freq. They then went to 303.0 which was kind of a surprise to be used for refueling since it's the squadron freq for the 108th ARW at McGuire and they were close by. Anyway, STEEL 61 is picking up his speed, BATON 20 is slowing down and they'll meet up over Sea Isle at 1540Z. At 1127 they are still chatting about the upcoming op and the training needs of the STEEL 61 tanker.

There's also a Royal Air Force VC-10 overhead, callsign RRR 2112, tail XV-108, 101 Squadron at Brize Norton.
Yesterday we had the Brazilian tanker and now an RAF tanker in this area. The RAF's VC10s are supposed to be phased out next year in favor of Airbus tankers.

Ref below:

I was surprised that I picked up 61 also from my location. I was updating the post about 139.0750 P25 when that came through. Must be good conditions today. In the middle of the 61 comms I heard "Panther, SAM 1270" on 260.9

I bet that STEEL 61 flew right over your head Brian. He was coming from Pittsburgh on his way to Sea Isle so, if not right overhead, he had to be close. And I'm not sure who PANTHER is. We also heard him at the end of the CAP on Sunday on 260.9 when the PITMAN fighters did the Sparkle warning system check with him.
Edit: Forgot to add that SAM 1270 was on landing approach to Andrews when you heard him on 260.9 with PANTHER and that's right where the PITMAN fighters were when working PANTHER for the Sparkle test.

1230-ish: Our Northrup Grumman test flight guy is working the Pax area today. Just heard him on 270.8. He didn't give his aircraft ID but it's the same pilot that has been flying the N161NG aircraft that was heard with the LOBO 71 B-52 in W-107 and with the DC 52 KC-135 tanker last Friday in W-386.

BRAVE-61 calling CAPITOL on 139.7 First heard them passing fuel status.

1613- VENUS-24 squawking A3 maint, for anti-skid in-op light illuminates when landing during touch and go ops; and nutcracker test switch is illuminated during the same.

I guess AF-1 is inbound too. 136.725 just had some chatter about the weather when passing MANNE, actually a 777 causing the turbulence.
I ought to be able to see these guys soon.

1618- More chatter from the BRAVE flight. 139.7 Must be an exercise.
One of them will be using the HUNTRESS callsign, TOI 135, 230, 13000ft

1624- No ramp freeze shown. 300.4 is active. More chatter on 136.725

1625- SAM-50049 has visual with ADW. 119.85

1630- VENUS-24 mentions there is a ramp freeze. Asks to relay maintenance status message to SAM 4. 378.1
FYI, SAM 4 is on TG 103 on the 380mhz trunked system.

1634- AIR FORCE-1 12,000 for 8,000 119.85
1636- Visual on AF-1 crossing IAD area. A little later handed off to 124.7 and then 119.3 at 1643.

1648- BRAVE-61 and 62 are RTB. 139.7

There was a ramp freeze posted before the arrival of AF 1. It was posted for 2040-2110Z. It's down now of course since it's after the event. Just before the arrival of AF 1, there was an EVAC 01796 trying to be excused from the ramp freeze because of his EVAC status. I don't think he made it in in time though. There were two C-20B types and a C-32A that were allowed to land so, I presume, they were part of the Presidential party. SAM 50049 (from his tail number - 85-0049) a C-20C wasn't part of the group even though he came in about the same time.

I'm not sure what the purpose of that BRAVE 61/62 flight was. As freqhopping mentioned, one of the F-16s was playing the part of HUNTRESS while they practiced intercepts on each other. There was one spoofed intercept of a Cessna C210 (supposedly with tail number N6969) thrown into the mix too.

1745: There's an AXEMAN flight of A-10s just coming home to MTN. Reported 10 minutes out, both Code 1 to Raven Ops...347.2 Other than that, it's quiet except for the normal mix of transports and tankers moving around.

I mentioned earlier that there was an RAF VC-10 in the area. Later, shortly after 1400, there was also an RAF C-130 through the area. Tail number was XV299 on this one.

1800: Two more A-10s coming home to MTN (must be RAVEN)...reporting 10 out, both Code 1...347.2 (Using 142.3 for interflight) (Confirm it's a RAVEN flight...with Tower 297.2)
1800: CRAB 55 (C-130J, 98-1355, 135th AS MD-ANG Warfield ANGB) landing at MTN...121.3
1827: HOIST 90 (KC-10A, 305th AMW, McGuire AFB) with arrival message to McGuire CP...30 minutes out, A-2, about 30K on the gas remaining, need parking...319.4
1857: EVAC 33116 (C-17A, 03-3116, 183rd AS MS-ANG Jackson) departing Andrews...reports" reason for delayed takeoff was waiting for YOUR fleet service for over an hour"...378.1 (with tower 118.4/TRACON 118.95)

1911: REACH 794T (C-17A, 95-0104, 437th AW Charleston AFB) to Andrews with arrival msg...20 minutes out, A-1, need fuel and will let you know how much uponlanding...35 pax and 5 rolling stock (think he said it's a band)...378.1
1935: Two flights of F-16s of the NJ-ANG in the air on interflight freqs...138.425 and 138.875
Looks like the 138.425 is BICEP. Flight lead from 138.425 wanted them to all get together and fly as one flight through the UHF Center freqs but that was vetoed by the 138.875 pair.
1941: U/I aircraft on 343.0 says he's going to land in about 5 minutes because of a wheel well overheat problem. (I think this is DE-ANG aircraft rather than Willow Grove...they both use this freq)
1941: WB-774 to Giant Killer to use W-386 (probably a WATERBUG from Pax)...249.8
1943: MD-ANG AXEMAN A-10s with ZNY-Lancaster (backup)...mentions Slate Run...at 13000 feet...285.65
1946: AXEMAN flight handed off to ZNY-Hyper and check in at 16000...322.5
Heading up your way Dave if you're reading...to The Duke!
There is also a flight with ZNY-Kennedy 282.3 and over to ZNY-Dixie 307.8 that's probably New England A-10s heading to Warren Grove Range.
1949: AXEMAN flight handed off to ZNY-Middletown...check in as a flight of two, non-standard formation, 16,000 feet...322.4
1950: BOXER 25 (C-40C, 02-0202, 201st AS Andrews) is in the pattern at Andrews where he's been for at least 30 minutes going 'round and 'round...118.4/119.3
1951: Interflight freq 141.675 active...that's MA-ANG Barnes so that's probably who was heard on 282.3/307.8 with ZNY.
All the fighters waited for darkness to do their work today.
1953: AXEMAN handed off to ZNY-Williamsport and check in - same info as above...338.3
1954: NJ-ANG flight on 138.875 is callsign BANGER
1955: And a SCARY flight of F-16s from Andrews is up...on interflight 143.6 and with ZDC-Salisbury 257.7...mention tanking
1955: WILD flight on interflight 139.15
1956: SCARY flight to Giant Killer to enter W-386...will be MARSA with WILD flight...238.1...say's WILD will be along in 5-8 minutes...asks about STEEL tanker....working for 30 minutes in this area.
1958: BICEP F-16 flight is performing Close Air Support mission...sounds like they're at Pax...138.425
1959: STEEL 71 (KC-135R PA-ANG Pittsburgh) is the tanker for SCARY/WILD...says he can only give them about 4000 pounds each tonight...tells them AR boom freq will be 288.0 (of course)

So, we've got AXEMAN flight MD-ANG going to the Duke MOA....SCARY/WILD flights of DC-ANG out in W-386 and refueling....BICEP/BANGER flights of NJ-ANG at Pax doing CAS...MA-ANG flight of A-10s at Warren Grove (never heard their callsign)

2003: WILD flight checking in with Giant Killer as a two ship...238.1
2003: SCARY flight leader says to move to the boom freq...288.0
2004: AXEMAN flight handed off to ZOB-Bradford and check in there...353.85
2005: STEEL 71 on boom freq and makes contact with SCARY...288.0
2010: WILD tells Giant Killer they're pushing to the boom freq...238.1
2010: WILD checks in with STEEL 71 on boom freq...STEEL clears them to a one mile trail with the ongoing AR op with the SCARY flight...288.0
2012: SCARY flight is finished the AR...they took 2500 pounds each...288.0
2012: Looks like another A-10 flight out of MTN...142.3 interflight (probably RAVEN since AXEMAN is way up north out of listening range)
2013: WILD going to the boom...STEEL 71 tells them he'll give them 3000 each...288.0
2014: SCARY flight to Giant Killer to say they're done with the AR and want to enter W-386 A-F for the next 30 minutes MARSA WILD (when done with their AR)...238.1
2014: SCARY flight moving to GK's tactical freq to work...312.3
2018: WILD flight tells GK they're done with the AR...238.1....they move to tac freq 312.3 with SCARY...WILD indicates to GK they'll be working down at 5-6000 feet so this will be near impossible to hear from W-386
2022: NAVY 7N-096 (An Andrews bird) calling Navy Ops...x3, no joy...139.3
2030: STEEL 71 with ZNY-Dixie...307.8
2031: BICEP flight done in R-4006 at Pax...354.8
2032: BICEP 11 flight with ZDC-Cape Charles 256.8 and then ZDC-Casino 285.4 on their way home at 9500 feet...two ship, 2 miles front to back.
2034: BANGER notifies Pax they're 5 minutes from RTB...354.8
2035: BICEP 11 flight changes over to Atlantic City Approach and tries to check in...x2, no joy...327.125
2036: BICEP 11 tries the other ACY Approach freq (North) 385.5 and are sent back to 327.125 where they're heard this time...6000 feet, 30 miles southwest of the field...full stop landing on runway 31 coming up
2038: BATON 54 (EC-130J, 193rd SOW Harrisburg) to Giant Killer to say he'll be in the airspace (W-107) for another 50 minutes...255.0
2039: WILD/SCARY getting ready to exit W-386...249.8
2041: SCARY tells GK they're 20 miles in trail with the WILD flight...249.8
2042: BANGER 21 flight over to ZDC-Cape Charles 256.8 to head for Atlantic City
2043: AXEMAN flight on the way back from the Duke...with ZNY 338.3 and then 285.65...sounds like they're going to make a trip over to R-5802 on the way home
2045: WILD 2 declaring an emergency due to fuel system problem and is going direct Andrews...238.1 (also chatting about it on interflight 139.15)
2046: BANGER 21 flight with ZDC-Casino 285.4 at 13000 feet
2047: WILD 1 flight to ZDC-Salisbury...257.7

2049: WILD flight to ZDC-Casino...285.4...descending to 14000 feet.
2049: WILD 2 says "Let's cross the Chesapeake and then we'll start a descent."...139.15
2050: BANGER flight went to ACY Approach 327.125 to descend from 8 to 4000 feet
2050: SCARY flight with ZDC-Cape Charles...256.8
2051: WILD 2 thinks he's just got a bad fuel guage...139.15
2052: WILD 2 wants to start the descent now...139.15
2053: WILD flight to TRACON...317.425
2054: WILD handed to TRACON...270.275...9000 feet descending to 7000...heading for runway 1R...report Andrews in sight...WILD 1 will chase WILD 2 down and then climb out
2056: Andrews SOF comes up on interflight freq to talk to WILD 2 about the problem...139.15...WILD2 degoggle

2059: SCARY flight with TRACON 270.275 as they approach the field.

Okay...2100 and time to watch The Unit...so end of log
Insert: WILD 1 and the SCARY pair all landed at ADW a few minutes after 2100.
RAVEN flight of two was indeed the ones working 142.3 as guessed above...2126 they report 10 minutes out and both Code 1 to Raven Ops on 347.2

Ref below: Difficult to catch it all Nick. There's so much posted. (Oops..that's my fault.)

Ref below below below...Good catch Dave. Glad to see you're with us. Guess all the ANG units had night flying on their schedule for today. It sure got busy for a bit there with 7 fighter flights working plus the tankers. I almost ran out of radios.

Tony (CitationJet) also posted a message last week that tied LOBO 71 to Barksdale.

Sorry Tin, I must have missed that one. Today was a pretty boring day down here. I had some F-15 interflight frequencies active from Seymour-Johnson along with all the transports and such.

 

[ka3jjz]

Per a previous question - about PANTHER. I'm not sure it makes much sense, and it might not, but that's a popular DEA callsign. Used to be heard quite frequently on HF, now on occasion on the COTHEN network.

DC Laser Warning System

I've been doing some research to try to understand more of what I'm hearing during the CAP's. Reference Tin somewhere above, I also heard PITMAN 31 on Sunday talking about a low approach to Andrews for a Sparkle demo. I found a video of a Laser Warning System on an FAA website. Video is a link on http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org...ivisions/eastern_region/avsafety_program/vws/

1946: AXEMAN flight handed off to ZNY-Hyper and check in at 16000...322.5
Heading up your way Dave if you're reading...to The Duke!

AXEMAN flight was up refuelling with ROCCO 61. I believe ROCCO is a KC-135 out of McGuire AFB. Work was on 259.40. AXEMAN 1 tail number was 78-0694, did not get AXEMAN 2 tail number. Of a somewhat intersting note, the ROCCO boom operator had a thick foreign accent, perhaps Spanish, which, of course, did not affect the refuelling. It was professional as usual.

The AXEMAN flight did request to R-5802, I heard them talking to the BALKY range control on 237.2 when they reported about 25 miles north of the area. The AXEMAN flight must have been using an FM Low Freq for A2A, I searched the 138-144 band for the entire time they were in the DUKE and nothing popped up.

0923 DRAGO 51 heard dropping down to 4k on Pot Appch 279.5750

Hard time over Arlington for DRAGO 51 is 1350Z. After doing the flyby, they're cleared along flight plan route direct DRYER which is a VOR/DME in Cleveland. The only possible funeral I see on the schedule that would have a flyby is for Louis T. Seith, General USAF - but that was scheduled for 0900. Perhaps a delay?
Ref message below: I had originally thought this might be the two F-16s from the OH-ANG heard flying into Andrews earlier, however, Tony says he had visual confirmation of B-52 for the DRAGO 51 flyby. "Visual" beats "guesses" every time.
