1029 local BOEING 28 off McGuire westbound C-17 #04-4128.
Looks like back to factory for some overhaul work.

1146 local SHADO-61 shows up level 24k MC-130P #69-5823
I think this is a MIldenhall tail.

Mark,

He prob said Reach 545 and I heard 505---sorry. My guess is that the C A ANG guys are providing the acft and the 135th are providing the support personnel for this deploiyment. Was on local news last night that a 100 or so MD ANG folks are headed to Afghanistan.

 

[jsoergel]

JOSA 542 is headed to KADW...could someone please pass on the tail number for my logs? He was into the clouds before I had a chance to see it.

I see C-17 07-7171 was displaying 326ROXS today. Any idea what 326/326th they mean?
Midday I logged unknown AE0460 displaying RAWHD01. Code is within the range C-2As.

Had a couple of "strange" ones today:

1622- N426CA (Casa-212)- w/Phillips AAF (126.15)
1623- N150RL (BE-200)-w/BW (119.275) in restricted areas.

I logged N150RL for one minute at 1558, 9800ft.
N426CA from 1544 (11,100ft) to 1602 (740ft) That ending alt doesn't seem right for going into KAPG http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N426CA I should've lost it much higher.

1712- ANGRY-1 and BULLY-1 flights inbound for ADW 335.5. A WILD flight landed a little bit earlier.

Travis,

Thanks for the tie ins---just wondering who they belong to and what they are doing. Landings database has both of them owned by holding companies.

Travis--heard the Bully & Angry flts working on 139.15 & 143.6---both VHF xmitters sounded very strange. Not sure but maybe they've gotten new VHF xmitters

F-15 deployment to Seymour Johnson AFB

Hi,

The 4FW F-15s that were deployed to the Gulf, should be returning to KGSB from LEMO Thursday as Mazda 11, 21 and 31 flight.

Happy listening !!


René.

1506- Dragnet (E-3B AWACS Tinker AFB OK)-w/GK (249.8) w/track correlation checks on tracks in Norfolk area.

I'm guessing you guys already know this but in case you don't "DRAGNET" is the mission crew callsign for the 966th Airborne Air Control Squadron. In the 1980's and '90's it it was the 966th AWACTS which was the flying training squadron. (552 TRS conducts the ground phases of training). I assume they still do the training mission even though they dropped the "T" from the name.

 

[jsoergel]

AXIS 16 (EC-130) departed Patterson just after 0200Z, direct KBGR. Passed the callsign TOXIC by accident on departure before catching it. Anyone get it on the box?

Also had REACH 9003 (C-5A, 69-0003) depart before that, but I don't know where it's going...maybe McGuire?

Possibly, I logged it for five minutes until 2122 and it had descended from FL250 to 220.

A-10 deployment to Lajes

Good morning everyone,

1120z GOLD 82 flight checking in with Boston center on 128.750
1125z The airpare MAZDA 47 departs the formation and wants to hold over Sea Isle, waiting for the second cell.
1130z MAZDA 41 flight working tankers GOLD 81 and GOLD 82 on boom frequency 373.550.
1145z GOLD 81 and GOLD 82 are checking in with New York center on 125.925. GOLD 82 wants to return to KWRI.
1157z GOLD 82 is cleared to KWRI by New York center.

1212z MAZDA 51 and GOLD 92 discussing status of the second tanker, GOLD 91. Wants phonecall to xxx-918-6375.
1218z GOLD 92 checking in with Boston center.
1220z GOLD 92 can give each A-10 another 2000 pounds, while they wait for the other tanker, divert maybe Pease ANGB.
1228z GOLD 91 is a no-show, MAZDA 51 flight likes to return to Martin State.
1230z GOLD 92 is co-ordinating their return routing with Boston center on 290.300

These are the 184FS and 104FS A-10s, replacing the 354FS A-10s in Afghanistan. They should have departed from
Martin State airport, MD. Not sure on this however, but maybe Alan can confirm that

René.

Hello René. I've got MAZDA 51, flight of six A-10s working their way through ZDC. They went from ZDC-Kenton 354.15 to ZDC-Woodstown 363.0 to ZDC-Atlantic City 281.45 in the mid-1100Z hour. They are working tanker GOLD 92 (KC-135T, 59-1460, 171st ARW PA-ANG Pittsburgh). The strange thing is that their AR freq is 314.1 and not 314.5 which should be the correct Coronet AR freq.
One of the A-10s is running with his Mode-S turned on and showing AE18FF (A-10A, 79-0129, 47th Fighter Squadron)
At 0647 local (1147Z), they are still in AR mode and now GOLD 92 is doing the reporting with ZDC-Atlantic City 281.45 and declares MARSA with the gaggle of them.
0648: GOLD 92, along with the chicks, handed off to ZNY-Manta 353.5 and checks in there.

René, neither your AR freq nor mine are the regular Coronet freqs. Any indication they've reprogrammed them?

0650: GOLD 92 trying to contact MAZDA 47 on the 314.1 freq...no joy.
0652: GOLD 92 reports to ZDC-Manta that he'll "take MARSA for both of them"...perhaps meaning both flights of A-10s.
0654: MAZDA 51 tells GOLD 92 he's taking a lot of spray during the refueling...GOLD 92 replies that he's down to one pump...MAZDA 51 breaks away...314.1
0655: MAZDA 47 now working 314.1 along with the others.

Ref below: Thanks for the info René. They're coming your way - well, at least closer to your radio, if not your location. Just about out of range from here at 0657 local time. Never found the chicks on air-to-air but didn't have a lot of opportunity to search either.

Had another A-10 Mode-S hit for AE18EE (A-10C, 79-0104) That one has been working out of Martin State with the 104th FS recently. I just noticed it on my log. That one was first detected at 0548 local (1048Z) which might be the MAZDA 47 guy.
At 0705 local I'm getting some very weak chat on 256.925 but can't tell who it is...a few voices so it may be the MAZDA flight.

Just for info...(Picked up from Adrian's SBS on Cape Cod)
GOLD 81 = KC-10A, 86-0030, 305th AMW McGuire
GOLD 82 = KC-135R, 62-3508, 108th ARW NJ-ANG McGuire

Mark, welcome to the net. Great to see you there.

Thanks Alan, That 314.500 Coronet frequency was changed to 314.100 last year I think.
Likewise, the "old" 372.300 was replaced by 373.550.


René.
