E-6B 164388 has departed Pax and is now heading west direct GVE. Callsign ends with 13, may begin with a B. Something like BUNKO.
1510- ZDC-Montebello>Luray. Turning to the northwest.

Earlier I found a former supervisor flying around in his personal Cessna 182. I wasn't so sure he had mode-s.

Huh. We have 164408 out over the Pacific, also ending in 13 ...

Mark, what's up with those times? Do you really mean they were in the 0300Z hour last night?

I had AE0B35 logged at 1540 but I have nothing on it either.

It almost looked like those two E-6Bs were going to fly the same route but in opposite directions - one clockwise and the other counterclockwise.

Huh. We have 164408 out over the Pacific, also ending in 13 ...

Jordan, I've noticed a couple of times that the east and west coast birds used the same suffix at the same time from your reports. I don't know if that's just a happy coincidence or if it's planned that way. We catch the callsigns so seldomly that it's difficult to pin it down and, because they don't program the callsign, I can't go back in the database and check it. Not important anyway - just curiosity.

Travis,

6530 is one of the most recent at Reagan. He was up here this past week in Balto doing a search for a reported bridge jumper then RTB'ed to Reagan

 

[ka3jjz]

Re the Coast Guard helos; it will be interesting to see if the semi-new ops frequencies will be used...

345.0 Operations Primary AM Mode
237.9 Operations Secondary AM Mode
326.15 Air-to-Ground Primary AM Mode
379.05 Air-to-Ground Secondary AM Mode

I know they have been reported being used elsewhere, but not so much here. Wonder why?

VENUS-94 is inbound or not. Someone was checking the laser warning system it sounded like. There were some comms on 260.9.
AF-2 has climbed to FL340.

1618- DEA N215BB is inbound to IAD.

1629- FBI N254CX is airborne, from Manassas probably.
1642- JENA-623 direct PALEO 125.65

1830- N400MP has departed IAD. Heading the same way as JENA-623. REACH-6168 and HIRE-41 are passing through.
To BWI App 128.7 rather than 125.65.
1845- A70F5F N554ME STAT-12 enroute to Children's Hospital.

2030- SAM-91 came in a little while ago, that must've been Obama and co arriving.
