Sticky Thread For MilAir VI (2011)

[JohnFB]

Coronet & an interesting C/S

1259Z : BLUE 61 wkg unknowns on 396.200. Possibly a flt x8. Their A2A was 139.800. They were noting Mt. Snow [VT] but I know not their direction of travel.

2119Z : HELA 64 [spelled] wkg KGTB WX on 304.300 with no response [not surprising]. Then KCEF WX on 274.750 looking for current & 2200Z @ KBGR.

 

[freqhopping]

Had another Russian plane also into area 2019z.
Rossiya IL-96-300 RA-96019 (157713) came in from Northeast US.
Logged here briefly for 1 minute at 11k showing callsign RSD008.
Ilyushin Il-96 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark

I logged it 10 minutes later at 4140 to 3590ft. I'm thinking it may be a miscode though. Rossiya's flight IDs are SDM and FV.


Also logged IL-76 VDA6963 heading to Pittsburgh.


2330- Apparently KDCA is closed. MES2485 getting diverted to Dulles. Brazilian Air Force Embraer BRS2582 inbound to somewhere right now too.

BLUE 61 KC-10 79-1711 was taking 4 of the T-BIRDS from Bangor back home to Nellis.
TBIRDS 5 thru 8 after Eurpoean tour.BLUE 61 back to McGuire around 1930z.
The other day BLUE 51 took the first 4 also back to Nellis.

HELA 64 sounds like Navy E-6 #164404 going to Bangor. Navy E-6's always use strange
one time callsigns.Logged passing at FL35k last night here 2050z.

Posting on behalf of mdmonitor1 who is currently unable to access the Thread:

0955 EDT- Speed Racer (unid, prob Sierra Nevada Corp)-on discrete (267.35 FM-analog & encrypted) calling Indian Hole (unid). Speed Racer advises that there are some problems "on the othrt side" so they need to put up the SAT-1 for 11 July. Speed Racer also asks ground unit if "81" is on C-12 or C-4 and if they are getting them on the telemetry.

Any of you with a box have any acft that are assoc with this acty?

Speed Racer is FlightAware > N315CR

Guys,

At Tony's suggestion I switched browsers to Firefox and now it seems to be working fine on the RR thread. Hope it stays that way.

Thank you Tony

Travis,

Thanks for that ident. Looks like they cut their acty short though--didn't hear anything from them for the rest of the day

You will only hear them contacting the ground station a little bit after they've gone airborne. After that they go encrypted on that freq.

Ron,

Re: Firefox - absolutely my pleasure, I've not used IE for years now unless it is absolutely necessary (mainly due to the fact that some sites (or functions on sites) will only work in IE. I think you'll enjoy it...

...and all:

Just a few from the late drive home this afternoon:

2026Z 124.200 PT APP - NAVY 7C 371 - 6K inbound Davison for rwy 32.
2029Z 118.675 PT A/D - PUMA 62 - QSY ZDC-Linden 133.550 17K to FL260 QSY ZDC-Moorefield 133.725.
2040Z 322.550 ZDC-Linden - GREYHAWK 05 - sounded like checking in @ FL190.
2050Z 128.350 PT APP - EDGE 22 - inbound Andrews rwy 19L.

tnx Mark, I thought they might be Blues.

.......eerrrr TBirds because of the A2A used, but I've heard Italian AF on that same freq so I didn't think it was exclusive ussage.

Online Streams For Mil-Air VHF/UHF??

I seem to be in a grey zone as far as Mil-Air comms go on VHF & UHF here in Palm Harbor, FL. I am a little too far from MacDill AFB to hear anything reliable ad KTPA & KPIE really dont have much other than carrier and general aviation traffic. I enjoy seeing all the great reports here, but it is a bummer that I cant hear any of the activity.

Does anyone offer a stream dedicated to Mil-Air?

Vince

Thanks For The List

Vince,

Thanks for the extensive list.....I guess I found a new use for an old 895xlt. I will load em up and let you know how I make out.

I appreciate your quick reply,

Vince

1523- Plane Finder is showing a C-130 (no callsign) registration # 1630 at

It was probably this one Saudi Air Force - Lockheed C-130H Hercules - 1630 - RAF Lyneham | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Had 1625 and 1626 through here last week.

Thanks for the feedback. Never did hear him on ATC freqs

Hello Vince,

You might be a bit too far from MacDill for ground comms but airborne AC's should be easy to pick up. Having lived in New Port Richey for nearly 30 years until '05 I listened to AC using the range above Ocala, AC's out of Clearwater Air Station, USCG AC's headed to Miami and Key West and sometimes AC's out of Tyndall headed east and southeast. Check on new frequency list like AirNav, etc. Might want to join Al Stern's MilRadioComms@yahoogroups.com There are several users down there active with weekly listings. Good Luck! PS: Might want to enter 157.150/125 as the USCG helos out of Clearwater use those when doing patrols up to Yankee Town and with the CG Aux units out of Gulf Harbors and Hudson.

2000z On radio "413 flight of two Maxwell Point landing
Wiede" AAF on Ops 126.200

Box and network id showed
(AE1FBD) UH-72A #10-72174 2017z
(AE1FBE) UH-72A #10-72175 2017z
Looks like two new consecutive tailed Lakota choppers for Army at KAPG

Maxwell Point is tip of Harford County so that explains what he was talking about.
