Sticky Thread For MilAir V (2010)

[freqhopping]

I'm receiving the AF1 orderwire now. Nothing on the box yet. Might've just heard it handing off from 125.65, so outbound to the east. Heading to Massachusetts.
1400- AF1 with ZDC 125.45

Re: the latest MC-12W

Tin, guys,

I saw an email that confirmed it as 09-0265 AE2F59 at RAF Mildenhall.

Tony

The latest MC-12W (AE2F59) that we logged through this area is just about to touch down at RAF Mildenhall early in the 1400 hour. I'm waiting for one of the spotters there to grab and confirm the tail number.

Rgr that Tony,they are still converting BE-300's into MC-12W's.
Interesting that last three MC-12w's FAA de-registered these 3 new BE-30's.
N624KA now (09-0264)and N6425D now (09-0625) N61726 now (09-0626)

Guys,

Got this about our local 193rd SOG off the Milcom blog:

HARRISBURG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Pa. - In an unprecedented humanitarian mission, some 50 Airmen and three C-130 aircraft from the 193rd Special Operations Wing have departed in support of relief efforts in Haiti. The aircraft will be staged at locations outside the devastated area.

Two of the aircraft are cargo aircraft. The third, named Commando Solo, is an airborne radio and television station that will provide important information to the Haitian people.

"Our National Guard is honored to extend a helping hand to the people of Haiti. I am proud of these dedicated Airmen who are always ready to answer the call of duty, whether it is for combat missions or to aid those in need," said Maj. Gen. Jessica L. Wright, commander, Pennsylvania National Guard.

One of the aircraft departed late Thursday evening, the other two aircraft left Middletown, Pa., today.

The 193rd was called to serve in Haiti more than a decade ago. In 1994, Commando Solo was used to broadcast radio and television messages to the citizens and leaders of Haiti during Operation Uphold Democracy. This is, however, the first humanitarian mission of its type for the wing.

The duration of the mission is undetermined at this time.

Members of the 193rd recently returned home from a deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

1/16 (cont'd):
COBRA 70 (OC-135B, 61-2670) - requesting 40K fuel, airstairs for pax, fleet service...may have departed back to KOFF

1/17:
REACH 967 (C-130H, 96-7322) - departure (arrived 1/15 as SUMMIT 22)
VADER 21 (C-130H, 92-3021) - returning JROTC cadets
UNKNOWN (possibly VADER 23 (C-130H, 92-3023)) - departure

1/18:
VENUS 22 (C-20B, 86-0202) - approaches before landing
JOSA 661 (C-21A, unid) - called Dispatch, may be stopping in to pick up pax and asking about de-ice capability

On COBRA 70:
Haiti From 15,000 Feet | Jamie McIntyre

Likely flights KOFF > KFFO > KADW > mission over Haiti and back to KFFO > KADW > KOFF. I could be wrong, but that's what I think the mission profile would be.

Well, it was him and not me! I think you double-pasted the serial for 02, though...do you have the correct one?

Also, any ID on SLIP 41? Is that still a ferry flight callsign?
