To my friends old or young who served, thank you.
I was under the impression that 136.275 was FBI. Up here in NY/NJ metro area the IDs are in the 500's and 500 base. I've been able to match these guys up with JENA flights landing at Lakehurst NAS. Yesterday, they made a ref to "switch to vhf HOTEL 2" which is a known FBI channel in this area. Maybe its a mixed use air frequency?
05/23/12
1000 local- Starting to receive the Parade of Ships traffic entering New York harbor on 277.8
1023- WILD flights setting up AR on 288.0
1130- Caught some A/A on 333.3 mentioning "river" and making turns. No ID though.
Are you sure they were Chinooks and not CH-46 Sea Knights? 3 CH-46s (and 2 VH-3s) showed up at Manhattan-Downtown Heliport/JRB around 1330 on Friday and then departed in the direction of JFK about 10 minutes later. The President is coming to New York on Monday, so it was most likely a practice landing.1044am- 3 Chinooks flew over Del Haven from the Del. bay moving NE low and fast. Anyone have any info. Didnt hear them on any milair freqs.
0800 EDT- Ramrod 13 working w/Huntress (260.9). Is there a CAP going on? I've not been paying attention for the last couple of days
