Guessing it got a overhaul down Georgia way.
I figured heading back across.
I think SHADO is a Mildenhall UK 67thSOS/ 352nd SOG callsign

Not much out of Patterson today. Aero Club open house was flying around all day, but caught a few others in the mix.

BLADE 71 (possibly F-16AM, J-010) - departure
FLIGHT CHECK 87 (CL60, N87) - departure
CHILI 14 (C-5, unid) - arrival
UNKNOWN (see below)
REACH 8215 (C-5A, 68-0215) - departed on mission

My dad told me he saw 2 F-16s fly over while outside. Grabbed my radio to listen for them with TRACON, but couldn't find anything. Did catch them on 139.000 interplane with ATIS for Patterson. Checking my other radio recordings, they departed from there earlier - no callsign. It's possible they did a flyover for the UC game in Cincinnati...I'll ask one of my friends who went to the game if that's the case.

Mark,
this one now confirmed as 69-5827 arriving at Mildenhall, it was Rch1010 on the radio.
My records show this one as 16SOW/9SOS but was noted on heavy maintenance at PEMCO
in Alabama during 11/08.
Not clear yet if it is a new assignment to 352SOG at Mildenhall or still 16SOW going to the sand.

I think SHADO callsign says a Hall based plane but you never know.
Speaking of special C-130's logged this today.
(AE12CC) # 66-0223 HC-130P showing callsign KING 51 129 RQW Ca ANG
at level 20k 2000z-2026z.

Another KC-10 visitor from Travis.
KC-10 #79-1950 (AE012F) showing callsign GUCCI00 1940z.

Looks like a NYC CAP Monday ... http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_9_9329.html

Looks like Dover's C-5M #86-0013 was busy early this morning.
C-5M sets 41 world records

Ref below: Nice pic Adrian.Looks some wealthy guy didn't forget his WW2 Navy roots?
according to web site: VF-15 was disestablished on Oct. 20, 1945.
"Fabled Fifteen" participated in all the fast carrier fleet offensives of the second half of 1944 including the Mariannas Turkey Shoot, where the squadron was credited (by most recent sources) with 68.5 kills, the most victories in one day of any Navy squadron

Appologies for being off topic, but if i may.....

while out today with one of my other hobbies, photographing planes, boats etc. The following caught
shortly before arriving in Edgartown here on the Vineyard. Previous to this the most interesting named
yacht i had caught was `007`, complete with stylized Walther PPK.

Here`s VF-15.

Ref. above.
Yes Mark. I watched the passengers disembark, they were an old couple no-doubt in their 80s. He must be a VF-15 veteran, i looked
them up also, lots of aces. Hats off to this fellow for his service.

Here`s some more info on this yacht, seems she`s a 2009 model, but already on here second name

Need a lot of help with my logs today:

TORO 01 (T-38C, unid) - departure (arrived earlier this week)
GAMMA? 01 FLIGHT (5x unid - fighter) - departure (could've been GAMBLE, but I'm not sure)
SABER 11 FLIGHT (2x F-16, unid) - departure
??? ?1 FLIGHT (2x unid - fighter) - departure
AUSTIN 01 (unid- fighter) - departure
AUSTIN 06 (unid- fighter) - departure
FAST 51 (T-38A, unid) - departure
REACH 338 (unid) enroute KFWH > CYYT called Metro for weather at CYYT
NAVY 7N 675 (UC-12B, 161309) - picking up A3, 150 gal of fuel; to KADW?
VADER 08 (C-130H, 90-9108) - from KYNG; to KYNG

If anyone can help with IDs, I could really use it. I'm curious if the 5-card was GAMBLE; that would associate it, AUSTIN, and possibly the unknown from the 52nd FW.

1100--1113 local on 271.00 [104FW F-15s heard in W105?]

Tin,
Mark,

Gotta a couple of heavy foreign accents in the area this PM:

1348- MTN044 (unid--id as heavy--heavy foreign accent)-depart DOV (132.425)--Slavic/East European accent

1409- sounded like 977CP w/ZDC Calvert (133.9)---Middle East accent
According to the Landings database : FALCON 2000EX
Aircraft Year :
Owner Name : BANK OF AMERICA NA
Owner Address : C/O CITGO PETROLEUM CORP

HOUSTON, TX, 77077-1670


Did either of these guys show up on your boxes?

1425- 977CP now w/DOV approach (132.425)

 

[mdmonitor]

Tin,

If you're listenng do you hear anything on 121.95? I have an acft working with a ground station (very weak)---the acft is reporting "ops normal" or " on station". Last position was 15 miles north of Baltimore at 1420 EDT---acft told ground station hel'll contact him in 15 mins.

I've seen this freq used before by the Naval Academy to control inbound VIP helos, etc when they are going o land on Academy grounds. But this sounds different.So far haven't heard a callsign from the acft.
