CACTI 21 flight swiched to Moncton center on 123.900 around 1015z, the airspares TREND 77/78
are now (1044z) checking in with Boston center on 292.150. They were cleared back to Andrews AFB.

I noted on the European boards that CACTI 21 went into Mildenhall and the TREND 71-76 flight went into Caslav, Czech Republic so everyone made it just fine.
**********************************************

1447: HARASS 41/42 arriving in the area to replace 35/36. HARASS 41 notifies 35 that 42 has an avionics malfunction and can't employ any weapons. He may need to RTB to get another jet...260.9 (HARASS 35 has an awful transmitter)
HARASS 41/42 were discussing the problems aboard 42 on interflight 360.15 while on the way.
1451: TEFLON 14 exits the area, TEFLON 15 descends from FL 250 to 240 coming in from the south as 14 exits to the north...260.9
1452: HARASS 41 reports coming in from the south and it's definite now - 42 will RTB due to bad avionics...the current HARASS flight (at least one of them) will accompany 42 home...260.9
1455: HARASS 35 asks 41 for the status of 42...41 says 42 can't employ...35 tells 41 that he will accompany 42 but needs to get gas first. Looks like 36 will now stay with 41 until a replacement shows up...260.9 (41 is having trouble understanding 35's bad transmitter so it isn't just me having the problem)
1459: HARASS 41 tells 35 that is number one radio is unreadable...35 is just producing a carrier now with no modulation...36 asks 41 if hears 35...41 replies that he's just hearing mic clicks and 36 tells him to fly closer to him so apparently 36 is hearing some very weak modulation...260.9

1502: HARASS 41 gives tail number to TEFLON 15's boomer...260.9
HARASS 41 = F-15C, 84-0022, 71st FS Langley
1504: HARASS 35 and 42 report RTB at this time...260.9
1504: HARASS 35 and 42 get clearance from Potomac 350.25 and are handed off to ZDC-Calvert 281.4 where they start for home.
1505: HARASS 42 and 35 report leaving HUNTRESS' freq...42 asks 35 to come up 3 AUX and appear on 360.15...260.0
1507: HARASS 36 heading for TEFLON 15's boom, is asked for his tail number and gives it...260.9
HARASS 36 = F-15C, 85-0106, 71st FS Langley
HARASS 35 and 42 are talking on interflight so apparently 35 has either fixed the radio problem or has simply switched to his other radio.

TEFLON 16 = KC-135R, 62-3506, 133rd ARS, NH-ANG Pease

1856: And here we go again...HARASS 43/44 arrive in the CAP but 44 is broken and must RTB. Problem is a left spinout? and no radar. HARASS 41 will accompany 44 back to Langley.
1858: HARASS 41 to Potomac TRACON for clearance to RTB Langley in five minutes and says he'll be taking 44 back with him...350.25

1901: HARASS 42 back in the CAP after taking 9K fuel...260.9
1904: HARASS 41/44 cleared to RTB...260.9
1905: HARASS 41 picking up clearance to RTB Langley from Potomac...cleared OTT, HCM, LFI...350.25
1906: HARASS 41 and 44 go to "3 AUX" to talk about the problems with 44...360.15
1907: HARASS 41/44 handed off from Potomac TRACON to ZDC-Calvert and check in at FL 210 in the right turn toward Harcum...281.4
1909: HARASS 43 off the tanker's boom and back in the CAP...260.9
1910: HARASS 42/43 go to interflight (MAN AUX) and chat...42 reports his radar is getting "squirrely"....they then talk about the problems both are having...one of them says, "Things are starting to break down."...360.15

2017: HARASS 44 just making it back to the CAP...says he's 40 miles south and heading toward the tanker with nose cold and weapons safe...260.9
2018: HARASS 42 heading to the tanker for 1000 pounds (for the purpose of night AR training requirements which he mentioned earlier on interflight freq)...260.9
2026: HARASS 42 to Potomac TRACON for RTB clearance in 5 minutes...uhhh...more like 2 minutes...350.25
2027: HARASS 44 was going to topoff with the tanker but 43 told him to just take 1K....TEFLON 16 boomer asks for 44's tail number which he provides...260.9
HARASS 44 = F-15C, 81-0038, 71st FS Langley
2031: TEFLON 16's boomer tells HARASS 44 that his fuel recepticle is not latching...44 then relays that info to 43 and 43 asks if that isn't the same jet he had the other day...it is - he says it's 1038...260.9
2033: TEFLON 16 and HARASS 44 are going to do more training and 44 is going back for another 1K...they'll see if the recepticle latches this time after they're done...260.9
2035: When done passing fuel, 44 reports it still isn't latching...44 says he's going to stay in pre-contact for a minute...260.9
2036: HARASS 43/44 go to interflight and discuss the problem...43 decides 44 should stay in the CAP and continue on if it's okay with TEFLON 16...HARASS 44 and TEFLON 16 then chat about what they're going to do...43 then pops in and tells HUNTRESS that he should allow 44 to RTB because he's unable to receive gas...260.9 (HARASS 42 has never left the area...was waiting to see what was going on w/44)
2041: After a bunch of chat on interflight, it was decided that HARASS 42 should go home and he starts the process...350.25
2042: Now 44 is saying that according to TEFLON 16, the procedure they'd have to use is for emergency refueling only...sooooo....43 tells him that he should stay for awhile and when he gets down to the point that he has to go home because of fuel, 43 will send him home and 44 will maintain the CAP...360.15 (HARASS 42 better get down the road before they change their minds)
2044: HARASS 42 gets his RTB clearance from Potomac and is handed off to ZDC-Calvert...281.4
2055: HARASS 43 tells TEFLON 16 that he's sending 44 in for another try to refuel...if it's not successful, he'll send 44 home in about an hour when he'll have just enough fuel for the trip home. (44 currently has 13.7K fuel)...43 then explains the whole mess to HUNTRESS that it's an emergency procedure under current conditions with 44...260.9

XV107 43C0A8 VC-10C-1K RAF RRR2531 1239--1245 (Eastbound)
>>>>>> back to Brize Norton, came to USA 9/01, noted mostly Balt/Virginia but also Michigan.

I logged this on 9/3 calling Metro for weather at McGuire and Dover; never did give a position, but most likely north of Patterson if it was picked up in Michigan.

Adrian,

These logs must be a lot of work for you do research and post. Thank you--- I like the format and teh info contained in them.

Ron

So do I. That's really the bottom line for all those flights to explain why we heard them. I think it's a fantastic piece of work. That's why I couldn't understand why anyone would get worked up the other day over that kind of info even though the basic aircraft ID came from an SBS list that had been edited down to include only specific aircraft. Damn...that's good stuff!

I ran out of time to edit the past message so had to start a new one.

2105: HARASS 44 tells TEFLON 16 he'll come to the boom in about 10 minutes...he then tells HUNTRESS he has about one hour of fuel before he has to leave for home - if he can't take fuel from the tanker...260.9
2111: HARASS 43 tells TEFLON 16 to do the refueling attempt with 44 on the backup AR freq 228.9...16 didn't hear him so he repeats the part about doing it on the backup freq but doesn't repeat the freq (don't know where the tanker will go)...260.9
2113: HARASS 43 and 44 go to 228.9 and check in...we'll see if 16 shows up here...he does so 44 starts heading to the tanker...228.9
2115: TEFLON 16 clears HARASS 44 astern...228.9
2120: HARASS 44 cleared to the boom of TEFLON 16...228.9
2122: HARASS 44 on the boom...16 asks if he wants a topoff - he does...228.9
2123: TEFLON 16 gave some gas and HARASS 44 reports he now has 16,000 pounds...(didn't mention whether it latched or if they're using the emergency procedure to pass fuel without the recepticle latching onto the boom. In this case, the boomer is just sort of "shooting" the gas into the recepticle. I can see the danger involved if something goes wrong such as 44 not being able to hold his aircraft steady during the AR. They continue the operation.)...228.9
2126: HARASS 44 asks if he was latching on that time and TEFLON's boomer confirms that he was...228.9 (Everyone goes back to 260.9)
2127: HARASS 44 to HUNTRESS to report he's back in the CAP with enough gas to complete the VOL...260.9

2303: CAP done for the night.

0629Z 349.400 BUCKEYE CONTROL - REACH 0358 (KC-135R, 60-0538) calling, no response

Seems very urgent, calling every 20 or so seconds.

Still no contact after 10 attempts. I really wish they'd list Patterson Dispatch as the primary contact for the base - the AFRC folks deal almost solely with the 445th AW and usually just tell everyone else to use the PTD frequency. I once heard a C-5 (from another unit) hailing Buckeye desperately with an engine out IFE, and after 30 minutes of calling, they finally answered and told them nonchalantly to switch to 372.2. I'm hoping REACH 0358 isn't having a problem like that....

I think they've given up after 20 minutes of trying. Hopefully if they've got a problem they can find a divert somewhere nearby.

Back to bed for me (at least until something else starts transmitting).

1040 EDT- Reach 109 w/ZDC Casino (127.7)--can't tell if inbound or outbound.

1050- Reach 109 now w/ZBW Manta (128.3) so must be Eastbound.

NICKEL 32 (unid) airborne shortly after 1900Z. Haven't heard 31 (31 and 32 came in on Friday).

Just listened back to my recordings, NICKEL 31 left earlier this morning, requested VHF for ZID (32 took UHF).

??? 61 departed, direct FWA.

??? 1 (maybe TULSA?) departed, requested direct TRIVO or CVG.

Rch7621 checking in on 133.45 ACK.
>>> only thing on the box was N810AX DC10 of Omni Air with OAE761 in the c/s block.
>>> looking up OAE761 on Flightaware shows a previous flight of FortBliss/Biggs AAF New Mexico to
>>> Norfolk Naval Station. So most likely a positioning flight and is now taking Naval supplies out East.

REACH 237T (unid) - blocking in at 2135Z, requesting crew transport, no pax, no cargo, 8 crew, parking India ?, RON
MAPLE? 81 (unid) - sounded like MASIL 81 (closer to "MACE LATE ONE"), 20000 lbs of fuel, RON
BENGAL 41 (unid, maybe P-3?)

Moving back to school tomorrow, so maybe I can confirm the first two visually if they don't depart early.
