At the risk of beating this subject to death....
The use of 122.85 could simply have been a mistake on the part of the calling aircraft. I should have added at the time that that is not the current VHF Pilot-To-Dispatch (PTD) freq for Andrews which is 139.3 for both Air Force and Navy. Each service has its own UHF PTD - USAF on 372.2 and USN on 386.8. The Navy seems to make much more use of those freqs at Andrews than does the Air Force.
1022: Flight of three F-22A aircraft from Langley on tac «233.525»
1024: COBRA 1, flight of four, with ZDC-Salisbury «257.7» (COBRA probably from Langley.) Mention they are going to be working around Cherry Point.
I took a guess at one point that the new ZDC freq 235.625 might be Salisbury. Guess not.
1025: F-16s from NJ-ANG Atlantic City on tac «138.425» (Turns out it's the COBRA flight...see them logged again below at 1232.)
1028: COBRA 3 calls Giant Killer on «251.6» They are sent to «310.1» where COBRA 3 tries again to call GK. (Didn't seem to make contact and I don't know where they tried next. Those two freqs are normally for entering W-110 or W-122.)
1030: GK's ops freq «391.2» active. Sounds like F-22As.
1034: Langley tac freq «257.075» active.
1049: Navy refuelers on «123.525» One of the aircraft being refueled (or just on this freq) is a WATERBUG 808.
1114: RABID 74 flight from Langley checking into GK's area at FL 230 «238.1» With Norfolk TRACON «370.925» just prior to that.
1118: McGuire tanker freq «303.0» active. (ROCCO KC-135s most often heard here.)
1122: U/I fighter chat on tac freq «140.2»
Expecting a TREND 51-56 flight of F-16s deploying home from the Gulf through this general area sometime today.
1124: GK's ops freq «292.3» active.
1125: U/I flight, suffix 11, with ZDC-Cape Charles «256.8». Asking for direct Bradley (CT-ANG home) if possible. (Turns out to be a YANKEE 11 flight of A-10s from Bradley)
This might be the flight chatting their way through the area on tac 140.2.
1139: YANKEE 11 flight handed off to ZDC-Sea Isle «281.45» where they check in.
And, yes, these are the same guys chatting on 140.2.
1141: MACE 11, flight of two, with Reagan TRACON «270.275» checking in at 12,000 feet. They can't make contact so go back to ZDC-Irons on «360.85» to get a new freq and are sent to Andrews Approach «335.5» where they do check in.
MACE might be F-16s from the IN-ANG at Ft. Wayne.
1145: MACE 11 cleared down to 3,000 feet as they approach Andrews for landing. «335.5»
1147: Navy fighter tac freq «365.7» active. F/A-18s using callsign DOG have been heard here the past few times I've caught it active.
1148: MACE 11 fighter pair to Andrews Tower for landing. «349.0» They'll land on 1L and park on the Navy side. (This may negate the IN-ANG F-16 ID. I've also got that callsign in the database for F/A-18s from California.)
1157: YANKEE 11 flight handed off to ZNY-Kennedy «282.3» where they check in. (And still chatting on 140.2.)
1204: YANKEE 11 requests a separate flight plan for 12 who he IDs as an A-10. YANKEE 11 wants a lower altitude and will leave 12 up high. He also says they are both heading for Bradley. «282.3» 11 will go to 19,000 and 12 will stay at 24,000. By 1207, 11 has made it down to 20,000. (And that's the last time I heard the flight.)
1232: NJ-ANG F-16s active on tac «138.425» It's a flight of four aircraft. (Not sure anymore if this is a NJ flight. The flight seems to just be flying through the area. They are talking about the Air & Space Museum and the sights around D.C.) This is the COBRA flight from below.
1238: WATERBUG 808 with BayWatch at 15,000 on «270.8»
1242: COBRA 1 flight with ZDC-Linden «319.1» (Sounds like the same flight logged at 1024 above. Also had 138.425 active at that time.)
1243: COBRA 1 flight handed off to ZDC-Hagerstown «227.125» where they check in.
1247: COBRA 1 flight handed off to ZNY-Harrisburg «270.3» where they check in as a flight of four, non-standard at FL 270.
There are so many users of the COBRA callsign that it's difficult to pin an ID on this flight unless they give their destination. However, terminology makes them appear to be F-16s.
1253: COBRA 1 flight handed off to ZNY-Philipsburg «306.2» where they check in as a flight of four, non-standard, two miles front to back...heading direct Syracuse.
Now I think we can pin an ID on them...F-16s from the 138th Fighter Squadron of the NY-ANG at Syracuse.
1255: COBRA 1 flight handed off to ZNY-Milton «269.1» where they check in at FL 270. Meanwhile, over on tac «138.425» they are having a cerebral conversation about overflowing pee-packs.
1258: COBRA 1 flight handed off to ZNY-Binghamton «372.0» where they check in again at FL 270 and announce as a four ship. They request lower altitude for weather reasons.
1258: WARHOG 1 (OA-10 PA-ANG Willow Grove) with Philly TRACON «317.55»
1259: COBRA 1 flight assigned flight level 19,000. «372.0» (And they disappear from listening range both here and over on tac 138.425.)
1301: Have a GYPSY aircraft checking into the Pax River area on «305.2» for an hour's worth of work. GYPSY callsign was at one time used by an F-14 squadron from Oceana. No telling which unit has it now or if that same VF-32 unit has it with new aircraft.
1304: WARHOG 1 handed off to ZDC-Kenton «354.15» where he checks in.
1312: WARHOG 1 checking into Pax area with Approach on «305.2»
