REACH 0461 (C-5A, 70-0461) - was scheduled to leave on Friday and got held back due to the snow...headed somewhere in Alabama, I think (hasn't departed yet)

Went to see "Dear John" Saturday night - a decent date movie. The main character (John) is a Green Beret based out of Charleston AFB and there are a good number of 437th AW C-17s featured. I was able to catch 01-0194 and 01-0196 in different scenes. Lots of Black Hawks shown as well, but I couldn't see any distinct markings on them.

 

[jsoergel]

Just finally confirmed the C-21 callsign for Battle Creek from a Michigan milair thread: BATTLE. (Simple enough.)

The two C-21s currently operated are 84-0142 and 84-0071; they are due to recieve one more from the 103rd AW.

Patterson logs for today (cont'd):
REACH 0461 (C-5A, 70-0461) - to KHUA
REACH 01 (C-21A, unid) - called Metro for weather at KBLV, pax dropoff (A3); to KBLV

This one was 06-6158.

Just now ASCOT-2103 XV104 VC-10 just showed up on the box at FL285 and climbing.
1047- Found it on ZDC-Potomac 133.975
1117- Lost it for a while, but just heard it hand off from ZDC 134.625, only caught .675 for the next freq.

I've found a new ZDC freq. 121.925 It's for ultra-high, being used by flights on J75 around Lynchburg. Found it when a flight was handed off from ZDC-Potomac 133.975



Anyone know the buno for 7C-792? I tied it to a mode-S code yesterday.

Drove to Pease to catch these guys. Sat there for awhile but had to go home at 1900z.
Only milair I saw were two KC-135s in the pattern. (PACK 11 and 22).
Oh well. Will try on the radios now.

Hi Ed,

They all went to Westover after all, sorry .....

Hi Ed,

René.

Well, that explains why I never heard them. Ok Rene, thanks for solving
the mystery. Appreciate it. Now I need to leave the radios for awhile and
get some chow!

Thanks for the heads up anyway. Hey, at least I saw two tankers doing pattern
work at Pease so it wasn't a total loss.

Found an interesting story on the local fire dept website. Back in November the canopy of a Marine T-2 busted at altitude and they landed at KJYO. Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company Incident Log
I couldn't find anything in my Radarbox log to match to it.


2006- ASCOT-9223 ZD950 passing through the area.
2013- Just handed off from ZDC-Gordonsville. 133.725

Re: NAVY 7C 792

Hop,

I don't know the BuNo but by process of elimination: did you already have codes for 161203, 163843 and 163844? How about 163839?

Tony

Anyone know the buno for 7C-792? I tied it to a mode-S code yesterday.

 

[freqhopping]

AE0749 163840
AE074E
AE074F 163843
AE0751 163842

Don't have a code for 161203
And 163839 has been using the common Navy miscode 29CBB8.

This one was 06-6158.

Thanks - went down to the base and visually confirmed it today (before seeing your post).

Found an interesting story on the local fire dept website. Back in November the canopy of a Marine T-2 busted at altitude and they landed at KJYO. Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company Incident Log
I couldn't find anything in my Radarbox log to match to it.

The aircraft is T-2C 159713. It was wearing modex F-809 (with VT-86) prior to the T-2s being retired in September 2009. Sometime between then and November it was transferred to VX-20 and is wearing the BuNo in place of a modex. Apparently, it's a support aircraft for the P-8A test team; probably flying chase for the prototype. The emergency landing was on 11/18; I found a source that said a C-130 arrived on 11/20 to drop off a maintenance crew...is that aircraft in your logs?

 

[jsoergel]

REACH 290 (C-17A, 06-6158) departed KFFO at 2100Z for LERT. Was scheduled to leave yesterday, but was held up by heavy snow. Uploaded cargo and 85K fuel earlier today.

 

[Mark]

Not much to talk about today..Snowed in and my 4x4 truck stuck
3/4 way down off my driveway in ditch..going nowhere there tonight..LOL
Did log a ROCCO 82 today unknown McGuire KC-135R (AE07BE).
Some of our regular locals are showing elsewhere tonight avoiding the wx.
KING 21 HC-130 #88-2101 from Gabreski showing out in Bay area Cal.

I logged 160627 from VX-20 down to 1310ft on 11/20 at 1530 so that coudl be it. Haven't logged it since though. And I would expect to have a plane into KJYO down to about 300ft.

Guys,

Not much flying around--a couple of PAT & one SPAR from McDill. Looks like ADW is open though

BTW: Got 14-18 ins of new snow on top of the old 30 ins--will be shoveling for days
