Sticky Thread For MilAir V (2010)

[freqhopping]

I got E-6B 164406 heading north, just passed by Martinsburg. I think I just missed them on ZDC-Hagerstown 134.15, suffix -37.
Carrier on 366.6.

Dan Snyder's plane is departing Dulles now. N904DS Taking Shanahan home maybe? It is heading west.

1550- GHOST-53 departing Dulles. 126.65 Heading 270.
1600- Heading 300 then back to 280. 133.55
1621- PAT-148 ADFEE0 climbing west. 118.95

1630- GAF437 3F93C4 unknown inbound for Dulles. Will be looping around for 1R so I can't get a good view. It looks small.
E-6B 406 is now SE bound near Norfolk . 163918 is inbound from the west.

1646- OMAHA-1 N5204J will be landing at Dulles. 128.425

Guys,

1535- N426CA (Casa-212)-w/Phillips Tower (126.15) reports "jumpers away--12 canopies".

He's been at Phillips for the last couple of days----contract aircraft used for dropping Army paratroopers???? Or are they letting Phillips area be used for civilian skydivers???? Strange

Yeah they got out real early.
GOLD 91 was KC-10 #85-0034 so I guess they made it today.
GOLD 92 local tanker KC-135 #62-3508 McGuire

Hi Mark and all,

Yes, they almost took me by surprise aswell ...... they departed one hour earlier then expected.

Mazda 51-56 continued to Lajes with GOLD 91, and the second tanker GOLD 92 returned to KWRI.
The airspare MAZDA 57 returned to Martin State airport via Boston center 292.150.

Thanks for the tailnumbers, and thanks to everyone else reporting this deployment.
This messageboard once again proves to be more valuable them lists like MILCOM etc.

Here is my soundclip, not the best quality however ..... http://www.dutchmil.nl/CE2010/CE041A.wav

Guys,

He's been at Phillips for the last couple of days----contract aircraft used for dropping Army paratroopers???? Or are they letting Phillips area be used for civilian skydivers???? Strange

It's not a static line aircraft, so if it is military, they're spec-ops.

Also, thanks for the ID on 84-0096.

Thanks.

Yup inbound January 8th. Factsheets : 335th FS and 4th MXG reception information

Thanks for the confirmation Mark. I never did hear the MAZDAs at all. Searched VHF and UHF also
had UHF ZBW/ZNY going!! They must be out of my UHF range that far South. I REALLY need a directional
beam antenna!!!!!!!

BLUE 71,72 are inbound to you now, see my continuing post.

 

[TinEar]

1227: MAZDA 11 flight with ZDC-Salisbury 257.7 reporting in at FL 280. This should be the F-15E flight from the 335th FS returning to Seymour Johnson from the desert.
These guys sure aren't talkative. Heard a couple of transmissions on the 257.7 freq and then perhaps it was them again on 235.625 ZDC-Blackstone and that was it. Also heard a couple of quick transmissions on 300.375 which might have been their air-to-air.

 

[Mark]

1240 MAZDA 21 sounded like McGuire metro 239.800 req wx at SJ.
Using Brit accent or exchange pilot.
1244 141.550 MAZDA 11 tells 21 and Andrews? that callsigns will change to JEEP 11,21
inbound SJ.

Guys,

Just had Mazda 11 w/McGuire Metro (239.8) asking about Seymour-Johnson wx and both Mazda 11 Mazda 21 are using 141.55 as A-A.

 

[TinEar]

1248: MAZDA 21 (x6) flight w/ZDC-Atlantic City 281.45
1249: MAZDA 11 switches to ZDC-Norfolk 327.8 and checks in at FL 280
1250: MAZDA 21 requesting FL 180...gets 200...281.45
1251: MAZDA 21 flight handed off to ZDC-Salisbury and checks in there...257.7
1256: MAZDA 11 requesting direct Seymour Johnson when able from the ZDC-Norfolk controller...327.8
1257: MAZDA 11 cleared down to FL 240...327.8
1259: MAZDA 11 flight handed off but I couldn't understand the freq...327.8

1305: MAZDA 21 flight handed off from ZDC-Salisbury to somewhere - possibly Norfolk 370.925 but sounded more like 360.925.

Hex code 29CBB8 was up the entire time MAZDA 11 flight was passing through the area and the altitudes matched. There are several aircraft that use this bogus hex code so can't say for sure it was them. One of the C-130T types from VR-53 Andrews also uses it.
