[JohnFB]

Yes, you are right, they are supporting MAZDA 51 & MAZDA 61 flight, that departed from Truax Field - Madison in the last hour.

Cheers, Rene .... they were early birds ..... passed me by before I got the scanners going.

I heard that as well from my QTH, but probably not as well as you ....

Has anyone figured out on what victor freq the tankers are talking to NY TRACON??? I know we were trying to figure that out this time last year for the last VET Day/UN session CAPs.

I know the fighters are using 363.100, which is either Stewart A/D or NY TRACON Liberty/Catskills sector [depending on what source you read].

Yes, think the action did move to Pittsburg. The NYC (YANKEE) CAP ended around 1500 today.

I just barely heard some CAP comms on 260.9.

René.

Had a couple BLUES out of Mcguire today René. I think they took some aircraft
westbound possibly.

BLUE 86 KC-10 #86-0027 departed 1600z back inbound Mcguire 2355z
BLUE 96 KC-10 #87-0120 departed 1620z back inbound McGuire2340z

2020 local tracked a (AE1DA9) from 900 feet slowly to 1100 and back down
to 400 feet.sqk 1200..Chopper no doubt and showed by another poster today as callsign VVJA813
which is most likely JA= the VX-1 Pioneers at Navy Pax river.
Could be testing that new Prez chopper as Navy choppers never show mode s.

Correct Ron but they did get some early test chassis demos I believe.
Maybe wringing out one of them.. Something new for sure though.
Funny thing though as close as it was no coms with local towers and I should have heard it outside
possibly at 400 feet...spooky!
