These were multiple messeages from SNIPER 01 and 02. They were up in Condor Scotty ATCAA
over Maine doing a T.O.I. exercise with Huntress. After that, they did some targeting pod practices
then returned to Burlington.

1435- Heard Venus 7 (C-20C # 85-0050) use the "Scoot" suffix when departing ADW. Scoot is a SPECIAL AIR OPS term used by SAM acft. First time I've heard them use this callsign suffix.

1115 local.Ron I think Silver Dollar and VENUS 07 up now,I'm showing
E-4B #75-0125 callsign FEND63 and C-20 85-0050 both around FL16k.
Just heard them say thanks for work on 142.7500.
C-20 is landing and E-4 on way home to Offutt I think.

1040 RICAN 74 C-130E 62-1820 PR 198thAS/156thAW inbound McGuire
Gave tail # and also showed as (AE12E8)

1800- EVADE-31 checking in with GK on 255.0. New F-15 callsign for me. Anyone know the unit?
1805- EVADE entering at FISSH on 312.3
1811- BICEP-11 x2 at FL210 direct Waterloo. ZDC-Coyle 254.3. They want direct W107 if they can get it.

Last C-130E Hercules aircraft leave Ramstein

Posted 11/3/2009 Updated 11/3/2009

by Senior Airman Amanda Dick
86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFNS) –– After more than 30 years of flying for
the Air Force, the last C-130E Hercules aircraft here set forth Nov. 2
destined for a new life.

Tail number 1299, which has been at Ramstein since 2007, departed for
Poland, under a Foreign Military Sales lease agreement between Air Force
Materiel Command and Poland in support of our partnership and teamwork with
United States allies.

"We are saying goodbye as it moves forward into a new era of air power,"
said Master Sgt. Patrick Perry, 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron section
chief, during a ceremony held on the flightline to commemorate the momentous
event.

As part of this partnership, members of the Polish Air Force learned
maintenance techniques on the aircraft while 86th Maintenance Group
personnel performed a scheduled home station check during the week leading
up to the aircraft's departure.

This aircraft is in addition to the five C-130Es Poland is authorized to
receive from the United States in an effort to help build up Poland's
airlift capability sooner and allow them to support their forces in
Afghanistan.

The departure of the aircraft is also part of the transition to the new,
more capable, and cost-effective J-model C-130 aircraft, of which Ramstein
will have 14. Part of the upgrade includes a new system onboard the
aircraft.

"The J-model is all computerized and automated," said Master Sgt. Jay
Mitchell, 37th Airlift Squadron flight engineer. "So, they've done away with
the flight engineer and navigator positions."

But, this is no loss for navigators and flight engineers as it opens up
other opportunities. For example, Sergeant Mitchell will be heading to
Hurlburt Field, Fla., to fly on the AC-130 Gunships.

As the aircraft taxied down the runway, Team Ramstein members saluted one
last time as two fire trucks sprayed an archway of water for 1299 to pass
through.

"It's a day in history we will never forget," Sergeant Mitchell said. "This
is an awesome aircraft. The C-130 has always been the workhorse of the Air
Force and will continue that way with the J-model, but to see the last
C-130E leaving here...we're sad to see it go."

Aircraft 1299 is the second C-130E to go to the Polish Air Force, as the
first was delivered in March under a separate program and has flown more
than 100 sorties since then.



Ramstein sends off last C-130E
By Jennifer H. Svan, Stars and Stripes
European edition, Tuesday, November 3, 2009
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — The gray bird did a wing wave on its final pass before flying off into the mist.

The early Monday morning flight marked the end of an era as the 86th Airlift Wing bid farewell to its last C-130E Hercules, a versatile transport plane that’s been flying for the U.S. Air Force since 1973.

With the wing and U.S. Air Forces in Europe shifting to the bigger, faster and stronger C-130J Super Hercules, 14 E-models were phased out this year. Some were reassigned to other airlift wings; some were transferred to the U.S. Army for jump-training purposes, and some found what might be a final resting spot in storage at the Air Force’s aircraft “boneyard” at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz.

The 86th Aircraft Maintenance Group was the host at a small ceremony for the last of the batch to depart, with members lining up to salute the plane Monday as it taxied down the flight line.

The wing’s vice commander, Col. Douglas Sevier, a C-130 pilot since 1988, compared the E-model to a car that’s been in the family for 30 or 40 years.

“As excited as you are about getting a new car, you still kind of have that emotional attachment,” he said. “That’s why we wanted to come out and do something. We couldn’t just let them go.”

The last to go, Tail No. 72-1299, saw initial duty in the Pacific, where it was first assigned to Clark Air Base in the Philippines to help shuttle American prisoners of the Vietnam war out of Hanoi. It later was assigned to Yokota Air Base in Japan, and most recently, Ramstein. It participated in Operations Desert Shield, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, among other airlift and airdrop missions over the years, military officials at Ramstein said.

And its adventures don’t appear to be over yet: A crew from Ramstein’s 37th Airlift Squadron was to deliver the plane to Powidz air base, Poland, where the Polish air force would try to squeeze a few more flying hours out of it.

Aircraft ownership was transferred to Air Force Materiel Command and Poland is leasing the plane for 11 months, according to USAFE officials. Information on the cost of the program to Poland or the Air Force was not available by deadline.

Air crews and maintainers said that, despite the C-130’s age, Poland was still getting a sky-worthy plane.

Fifteen maintainers with the 86th AMU spent four days last week inspecting the aircraft and fixing 105 “gigs,” or minor maintenance problems. The home-check station inspection, typically done every 220 flying hours, wasn’t due until December, but the unit did it early for the transfer, said Master Sgt. Darren Veneman, 86th AMU production superintendent.

“They should be able to fly this airplane until … it’s ready to be retired next summer,” Veneman said of the Polish air force.

For others who have spent a career with the C-130E, the end of an era will come sooner. The Poland-bound fliers were the last C-130E crew remaining at Ramstein. Most are headed to new assignments within the Air Force in two months or less.

Just heard someone on 266.8, presumably Norfolk App. Then they switched to 328.4 at FL180 to 190. What else is 328.4 besides Quantico Range Control Secondary and VR-53 Base Ops?
