Sticky Thread For MilAir V (2010)

[zerg901]

Hub awaits Haiti’s injured - The Boston Globe

Boston may start receiving Haitian victims soon - I assume that since the military airlift is restarting, that the Haitians will come to Boston via military aircraft.

Travis,

1535 EST--just went outside to check mail and heard the distinctive whine of a C-5 flying over BWI. Couldn't see him because of the cloud cover but would guess he's at about 10,000 ft whic is what they usually do over this area.

Might have been 68-0211 (C-5A, 167th AS WV-ANG) showing DECOY 11.
*************************************************************************************

Speaking of freq changes, I've got a bunch of them now that I have finally caught up with a chunk of my reading. Here's a local one upcoming:
Dulles (KIAD) Tower for runway 1L/19R...Delete 128.425 and Add 134.425. This is marked as effective as of 08 April 2010.

Also for John Murtha (gag) Airport in PA...Add 36.5 FM for KEYSTONE OPS (Army National Guard)

Indianapolis ARTCC (ZID), Portmouth OH RCAG....Add 135.75/290.5 Discrete Low

Wallops Island Tower...Delete 394.3, Add 306.975
Wallops Island Ground Control...Add 127.825/269.325 (There were no freqs to delete in the notice)

All across the country, the MilAir freqs between 380-399.975 are slowly being changed.
I've also got notes on a couple of other freq changes for ARTCCs across the country which I'll post here (for Paul to update the database if he's still reading here - as soon as I find the notes I scribbled them on).

Here's one...MInneapolis ARTCC (ZMP) for the Dupree SD RCAG...Delete 120.05/290.35 Low, Add 126.8/256.7 Low
Another...Denver ARTCC (ZDV) for the Ogallala NE RCAG...Delete 381.55, Add 257.75 HIgh
One more...Oakland ARTCC (ZOA) for the Priest CA RCAG...Delete 126.9 Low (that's all they said - no addition)
And finally...Houston ARTCC (ZHU) for the Rockport TX RCAG...Add 133.4 Oceanic Low (Nothing to delete)

Ref Below: Very good Paul. Glad you're still here. Hope all is well with your "new" life.

Ed, AF1 as usual had a couple of accompanying aircraft with it. SAM 93 (C-32A, 99-0003, 1st AS) and SAM 50050 (C-20C, 85-0050, 99th AS). They have returned to this area in the past few minutes and AF1 (VC-25A, 92-9000) just showed up. Not sure if you had any hits on the other two.

Re: United 77170

Brian,

77170 should be C-17A 07-7170, are you sure about the United part of the callsign? Last reference I can see from my non-network SBS perch here is for an E77170 on 02.01.2010 in Kentucky. Callsign was EVAC.

Tony

1903 hr: 378.1-United 77170

 

[bmlure]

That is what it sounded like. He said his callsign fast. But I could be wrong.

EVAC77170 went out to the west coast yesterday and returned to this coast this evening. No one in this immediate area logged it on Mode-S though. Closest was Kentucky again at 1816 which would put early 1900 hour as logical for somewhere fairly closeby. He must have flown just too far north for Mode-S receivers to catch it in this area.

 

[bmlure]

It was very strong and pegged my bars. Rechecked my recording and it sounded like United 77170.

1215 local- (Missed IDs, poss heard YANKEE) Flight of (2) UH-60s southbound at the VZ bridge on 51.50 then switched over to Lakehurst NAEC tower 127.775

E77170 was at BLV today. I believe they RON'd last night.

It's up again right now...lost him at 2133 while at 5500 feet and he may have gone into Dover (but that's just a guess). He's flying as REACH 7170 at this time according to Mode-S.

Exercise

Guys,

received a tip from a guy in the Midwest that there could be a StratCom exercise tomorrow starting in the morning and lasting until about 5 PM. So may we could see increased E-6B acty out of PAX as well as possibly an NAOC ABNCP out of Andrews.
