????31 with ZDC at FL2780 319.0 > 282.2. Routing toward Harrisburg. I think he mentioned the SCAPE fix too. Kind of sounds like SCORE31.
1904- to 227.125
1912- to 270.3
1916- 33.75 for the next handoff. ?? Not finding it on any ZNY freqs.

1917- now on 348.725
1918- 6k for 17. The flight leader's radio sucks. Earlier he mentioned 10 mile legs at OTT.
1956- It sounded like they were going to head to Andrews, but now handed off to ZDC 281.4 and climbing.
2002- to 327.8 at FL240

1921- Just heard who I think may USMC C-130 165809 joking about what better way to celebrate than close down an airport. They're at 1400ft right now. Also heard some other commercial plane mentioning not having any planned plane to divert. 119.85

118.675 TRACON telling a flight holding instructions will follow. What's going on?


1957- TOPCAT5 possibly, with CP on 251.2 talking about AR and weather issues.

2015- ROMAN85 female pilot, 'cleared to Pax'. 281.4 May be a few planes.
