Hi all. Had a few quick comms this morning at around 9:45 am local. Not positive but it sounded like GOLD 14 calling GOLD 15 on "Lightning Ops" 321.000. I only heard 14 and he came back and said "oh you are on thirty thirty". Switching to 303.000 I heard 14 only but missed the actual comms. I show Lightning Ops as McDill. I could be wrong on the GOLD c/s but sure sounded like it. These were the first milcom's on my newly resurrected Uniden BC-3000xlt which I have set up in my office at work. Not bad using a whip in a steel building...

These were the 927th ARW KC-135s that were flown from McDill to Pease over the weekend,
taking shelter for the hurricane. They were BOLT 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. They returned yesterday.

Hope this helps,


René.

Anyone know why 2 fighters just flew about 500 ft off the deck by Cape May at 1515 hrs.? They were moving.

[FONT=&quot]This is pretty cool.

[FONT=&quot]FAA Commemorates 9/11 with NextGen arrival profiles into National Airport[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]No one who was working at the Department of Transportation 11 years ago [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]will forget the morning of September 11, 2001. Whether it was the Federal [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Aviation Administration's air traffic controllers, who helped bring every [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]aircraft in U.S. (insert periods) airspace safely to ground, or the U.S. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Merchant Marine Academy's midshipmen, who went into the chaos of Lower [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Manhattan to support the maritime evacuation of Wall Street workers, 9/11 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]is permanently etched into the Department's memory.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To commemorate that day, the FAA's Washington Metroplex Team has named two [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]arrival sequences to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to honor [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]those who died that day and those who have served our country from that [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]day forward. Each arrival sequence, FRDMM (Freedom) and TRUPS (Troops), is [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]part of our new NextGen descents, which use satellite-based information to [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]make more efficient arrivals and departures at airports. The sequences [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]contain a series of five-letter waypoints – points in the sky through [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]which an aircraft must fly to remain on course – and together, they spell [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]out messages of support and remembrance for 9/11. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Aircraft flying the Freedom route to National from the northwest pass [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]through waypoints named “WEEEE,” “WLLLL,” “NEVVR,” “FORGT” and “SEP11.” [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Those flying the Troops route from the southwest pass through waypoints [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]named “USAAY,” “WEEDU,” “SUPRT,” “OOURR” and “TRUPS.” Depending on the [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]runway configuration, aircraft might also pass through waypoints named [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“STAND” and “TOGETHER” or “LETZZ,” “RLLLL,” “VCTRY” and “HEROO."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] This not the first time a waypoint has been designated to recall 9/11. A [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]waypoint published last year over Shanksville, Pa., was named “GARDN” [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](Guardian) in honor of United Flight 93, which crashed after passengers [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]fought with hijackers for control of the plane and prevented it from [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]reaching Washington, D.C. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The men and women of America's airways were also deeply affected by the [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]events of September 11, and airline pilots and crews have responded [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]strongly to these new waypoints. Recently, for example, on a morning [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]flight from Detroit to Reagan National, a Delta Air Lines pilot came over [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the Public Address system and began sharing the story of the new arrival [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]procedure with his passengers. As the flight crew began their precision [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]descent into the capital area, the pilot read aloud the names of the [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]waypoints they would be passing through prior to arrival: HONNR, BRVRY, [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]COURG; MORLL PLDGE: WEEEE WLLLL NEVER FORGT SEP11, ALWYZ FRDMM.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"As he was reading them," reported one passenger, "the people were all [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]quiet, and we all stopped talking or reading or whatever else we were [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]doing. Everyone just listened. We could hear the pilot starting to get [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]choked up as he talked about how proud he was to read those points off as [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]we entered DC."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The FAA’s Metroplex initiative is creating satellite-based procedures to [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]transform our national airspace system, making it more flexible and [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]decreasing our carbon footprint. NextGen flight tracks, like the [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]procedures commemorating 9/11, will relieve bottlenecks, improve safety [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and efficiency, and foster the flow of commerce. NextGen will deliver more [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]on-time and fuel-efficient flights, and continue to ensure that our system [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]remains the safest air transportation system in the world.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]These descents are also powerful proof that we at DOT remember 9/11 365 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]days a year.[/FONT]

Checking out the full arrival routes I found some other new waypoints with meaning- RANJR, JARHD and PJAAE. There is also supposed to be SEALZ. The VCTRY waypoint doesn't exist yet either.[/FONT]

LETHAL## inbound to Dulles. 125.8 > 120.1 Sounds like a fighter type, Navy T-45 maybe?



1945- Yep, probably Navy. Now have NAVY134 inbound. Doesn't sound like a fighter. 120.1
Ramp called him 6E-134, parking at Signature.

I went over to Dulles today and there were two T-45s and a T-6.

163650 from TW-2
165482 from VT-9/TW-1

6134 from TAW-5

Anyone local with a working mode-S receiver logs these or unknown codes?

1730 local- Had DARK SAIL (or DRY SAIL, loud and hard to make out) calling BLACK BODY on 311.0.....very solid signal. I'm guessing an E-6B in the area.
