REACH 7044 was a C5B, tail 87-0044, from the 60th AMW at Travis as you mentioned Mark.
REACH 929 was a C17A, tail 01-0194, from the 437th AW at Charleston. (He came through this area about 1915.)
******************************************************************
Have NJ-ANG F-16s on 138.425 interflight...callsign BICEP..still up 2015.
Early in 1900 hour FLYER, A-10, PA-ANG Willow Grove was up talking to Ops on 343.0
HUSKY 55, a C-130J from the 142nd AS DE-ANG reported takeoff at 2000 to his Ops also on 343.0
CRAB 55, a C-130J, tail 98-1355, from the 135th AS MD-ANG is up.
Various transports and tankers criss-crossing the sky overhead.
BLACKJACK 2 and TITUS 26 with Andrews Tower a couple of minutes before 2100.

About 1730, a French Air Force A319, tail 1556/F-RBFB came into Dulles (I think). He just took off again a few minutes before 2000.
Also had a Brazilian Air Force aircraft, tail 2115 in the area around 1900.
And a Belgian Air Force, callsign BAF 609 (A310, tail CA-01, 21st Squadron) around 1500.

Ref message below: Glad you got some activity to listen to Dave. I guess from your time line, the FLYER I heard was with Ops before going to the Duke. He was giving a PIREP to Ops about a big storm on the west side of Reading.

Below left picture is REACH 7044 (87-0044) and to the center is REACH 969 (01-0194). The picture on the right is the Belgian AF A310 with tail CA-01 that was here today.

Good Evening Everyone...I think I had a record number of Willow Grove A-10s up in the DUKE this evening! Five A-10s in two flights! FLYER flight of two checked into the DUKE MOA on 353.85 at around 1930. They were using 143.25 A2A. These two were playing with their new equipment, simulating laser bomb runs on a couple of targets and then a few mavericks runs on some poor persons house down in a valley not too far from the Slate Run. An UGLY flight of three checked in about 10 minutes after the FLYERS. They were using 143.75 A2A. It seemed like they were doing goggles on simulated laser bomb runs on the Slate Run VOR. FLYERS and UGLIES were A2A on 141.80 and 259.40 when they were all in the DUKE. The UGLY flight was RTB at around 1957 and the FLYER flight just about 2005. Departing Freq was ZOB 353.85 and ZNY 338.30. That was some fun listening, many thanks to the 111th FW.

2115- SAM-1293 calling PANTHER on 260.9. Reports he is 120 miles from the airfield at 50,000ft and says they can sparkle when ready.

Had some MUSSELL-06 comms a little prior to that.
Fighters have been on 315.85 for a while too. WILD I believe.

2125- SAM-1293 is still as loud as can be. Must be 120 miles in westerly direction from the airfield.

Gilly 1

Hi guys,

A recall there being a few messages posted a while back regarding GILLY 1 and it being a USAF UH-1? I just wanted to come back and confirm that this is definitely NOT the case - GILLY 1 has been a Cessna 172 the past fews days doing traffic survey work. I BELIEVE I have also seen a Robinson R44 using the same callsign.

1419Z 349.000 Andrews AFB TWR - WILD flight of four @ 7000' landing - all four IDed in sequence (WILD1/WILD2/WILD3/WILD4) as they prepare for approaches.

It's almost impossible to post a log and edit it with the problems the site is having.
Tony, I don't know if you have made an edit to your post but just in case...
The 706 was Navy JT706 (C-9B, BuNo 160051, VR-52 at Willow Grove).
On the WILD flight, WILD 2 was the new female driver at Andrews. She was having a fuel problem with her jet. Flight leader mentioned to SENATE SOF on 139.9 that for the second sortie, they'd replace her jet with the spare.

Also had COLT/RAVEN/AXEMAN A-10 flights all take off from Martin State within a couple of minutes of both sides of 1000. One of them went to Pax, one is at Warren Grove Range and I don't know where the third one went.

1400 hour: The CAP is up. Primary freq 260.9 with HUNTRESS and PITMAN 25 and 26 (F-16s Shaw AFB SC). The tanker is TANKER 11 from the 133rd ARS at Pease NH. They are about to refuel at 1500 and are using boom freq 228.9.
(I won't be doing edits to this post because of the problem with the site. It's taking several minutes to get the 'edit' button back after making a post. Should the sky fall I'll make a new post.)

 

[md_p97]

well, these things happen sometimes...

I am getting a lot of static, however on 121.500 today, not sure what is up with that.

But for a bit of good news, looks like I landed a contractor job down with the FAA in DC, so I'm kind of psyched about that.

And the other day I got a Garmin 60CSx GPS Tracker, so I am busy downloading all kinds of homebrew programs to convert topo maps into a usable format.

Pitman sounds loud and clear up hear today, as does Huntress and the Tanker. I am also picking up booming comms on 143.0000, but not sure who it is yet.
