New ANG Units

Guys,

Got this off the Milcom Blog:

Three of the Air Guard's newest associate wings officially stood up Oct. 1, including the 126th Air Refueling Wing at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., the 157th Air Refueling Wing at Pease Air National Guard Base, N.H., and the 117th Air Refueling Wing at Birmingham ANGB, Ala. Those units conduct aerial refueling missions with the KC-135 Stratotankers.

MIRAGE 11 FLIGHT (3x AV-8B) and MIRAGE 21 FLIGHT (2x AV-8B) are headed home to KNKT after operating from Patterson for the past several weeks. Interplane is 308.200 for both flights.

Mark,

Heard him as well---the accent threw me at first---but think you're right about him being from Sheppard

Late arrival at 0220Z; JOSA 378 (C-21A, unid) - pax dropoff, RON and getting fuel in the morning.

Had a chuckle a little while ago with Dayton talking to a flight inbound for KDAY:
"You only have 12 miles to the airport, will you be able to descend in time?"
"Sure, we can fly the space shuttle approach!"

Guys,

Rich in Penn posted this on Milcom:

10/8

1440z 237.2 Raven flt (Martin State A10's) / Balky (Bollen range).
1445z 385.9 Raven flt a/a.

Rich - Reading, PA


The use of 385.9 as an A-A is new to me--if I'm not m istaken that was the old CP/Ops freq for the 135th C-130Js

167th at MRB is currently participating in an Operational Readiness Exercise. There is going to be an increased volume of air operations over the next couple of weeks.

I have been seen C-130’s from Texas, Delaware, and Georgia as well as C-17 from Mississippi in recent days.

OTIS 21 (KC-130J, 166382) departed around noon local for KNKT. It must have come back yesterday after leaving as OTIS 18 - though I was listening the whole time and never logged it. Visual confirmation as the same aircraft for both flights.

1642Z RATS 81 (KC-135, unid) getting clearance to KNQX.

81 off the deck at 1724Z, into the clouds before I could see a tail. If anyone logs it, let me know.
