Sticky Thread For MilAir VII (2012)

[harryferg]

EAM on 323.800 here a minute ago (15:15 local). Pretty weak here in PHL. Sounded something Like "AREA CODE". Nothing at moment on planefinder but I did see at least one GOTO flights out over W-107 earlier..

 

[harryferg]

More EAM's now on 311.000 at 16:10 local. Does sound like AREA CODE

Guys,

One of the SBS box-ers in Florida had the P-8 down there showing callsign Ricardo. I haven't heard them using that one up here yet

Rgr Ron had that P8A 167951 climbing up last night 2225z
showing same RICARDO
Think it is just VX-20 guys funning around but we shall see.
Maybe going to Key West think they are Ricky Ricardo?

SHADOW03 164406 departing Pax. 250.3 > 281.4 So now they're using UHF, no wonder I don't haven't been hearing them when tuned to the VHFs they would be using.
2022- over to VHF 126.875 heading west.


Came across an interesting site with info about goings on at Pax.

Af1

Guys,

1108 EST- AF1 just departed ADW

1114 EST- getting some strong encrypted comms on 138.075 which has been used by Sierra Nevada

Guys,

1244 EST--just had a visual of one of the 1st Helo Sqdn's white tops (UH-1-Mussel) flying low over Glen Burnie area hovering over Baltimore-Washington Medical Center.

Not sure if he was trying to land on the hospital or was just going over for a familiarization. I can't see him anymore but I can hear him---sounds like he's landed at BWMC.

1303 EST- On BWI tower freq (119.4) He idents as Mussel 10 lifting off of BWMC and heading for the Bay Bridge Airport. Interesting little diversion for me---never have seen military helos land at BWMC.

Hey, do you guys know what call the Pax E-2Ds have been using? I noticed they were on the current Red Flag list. Must be doing some op/eval.

Locally they would be SCORE## for VX-20 or PIONEER for VX-1 . I wouldn't even know if I heard one since I don't know of any mode-S codes for them.

 

[DPD1]

Thanks... Unknown if they would change for RF. But they might use the same.

Thanks... I don't think they've made an appearance yet. I recall when VX-9 did something similar on one RF with the Growler.

EA-6B VADER02 inbound for Andrews. ZDC 235.625 > 128.35

 

[harryferg]

Have two unid a/c chatting on 292.800. Sporadic for last half hour, now very strong. Carrier also popped up on 366.600 WFM. No callsigns. 2330 local time.

 

[harryferg]

Just realized 292.8 is SAM interplane. Think POTUS was flying back from Boston at time.
