Sticky Thread for MilAir

[CitationJet]

Just a few yesterday (07/07/2006) while at home and at IAD with the kid throughout the day:

c1245Z 120.100 IAD TWR East - PAT 571 (C-26B 91-0509) - lands rwy 1R.
1724Z 307.025 ZDC-Potomac - RIPPER 21 (F-18s now?) - to FL360.
1727Z 119.850 Potomac APP - DC 51 (KC-135R 459th ARW) - on the arr. to ADW 8000' oh/ AML.
1733Z 119.850 Potomac DEP - DC 52 - (KC-135R 459th ARW) - on the arr. to ADW 8000' oh/ AML.

Later on at around 2330Z, two Navy T-34Cs, calling NAVY 7G-344 and 7G-715 landed IAD 1R. 7G-715 should be 161815, 7G-344 I'm not sure of the serial.

0913: DEMO 1, apparently off from Andrews, with Reagan TRACON 343.7, to ZDC-Montebello 284.7, to ZDC-Irons 360.85 and to ZDC-Dominion 377.1 by 0922.

0916: BULLY, flight of three F-16s from Andrews, airborne on TRACON 348.725 and tac 139.15. Brief stop with SOF 139.9 to report airborne at 1316Z. From there to ZDC-Calvert 281.4 where they request direct Air Force Dare when available. (Dare County Bomb Range NC) At 0930 they're handed off to 290.425. I have no idea who that might be. By the time I got it set up they must have already checked in and I heard nothing.
(There might have been another flight ahead of them. I heard two brief transmissions on tac 143.15 just about the time the BULLY flight went airborne. Then, 143.15 was silent as flight got out of range.)
0938: NODAK 15 (F-16 ND-ANG Fargo) with ZDC-Calvert 281.4 and then ZDC-Swann 360.7 at 0940.
0941: NODAK 15 cleared direct Lancaster, direct Burlington «360.7» (The Swann controller warns another aircraft of the F-16's path, confirming the ID of NODAK.)
0947: NODAK 15 handed off to ZNY-Modena 335.6 where he checks in at FL 230. No joy so back to Swann on 360.7. Swann tells him to hold on and he'll get a new freq for him. A minute later says they have a backup receiver on now so go back to 335.6. NODAK 15 does that very thing and checks in again at 0949.
0950: NODAK 15 back to Swann 360.7 after no joy again on 335.6....Swann sends him to ZNY-Lancaster 239.05 this time where he checks in at FL 230 and is able to make contact.
0953: NODAK 15 handed off to ZNY-Parke 339.8 where he again checks in at FL 230.
0956: NODAK 15 handed off to ZNY-Milton 269.1 and checks in at..........FL 230.
0959: NODAK 15 handed off to ZNY-Stoneyfork 273.6 and again checks in at FL 230.

1001: NODAK 15 handed off to ZNY-Huguenot 285.5 and again checks in at FL 230. (This was finally the last heard from him.)
1001: UGLY 1 (A-10 Willow Grove) with Philadelphia Approach 319.15 and then 317.55 at 7000 feet...then up to 8000.
1001: U/I F-16 from Atlantic City active on tac 138.425.
1006: Philly Approach hands off the UGLY 1 flight to ZDC-Kenton 354.15 where the flight of two checks in and requests non-standard formation 1.5 miles in trail. Couple of minutes later cleared up to 19,000 feet.
1006: Tac 138.425 is callsign DEVIL, flight of two F-16s.
1009: TEAM 47 and TEAM 48 (KC-10A McGuire AFB NJ) on what appears to be an interplane freq 141.525. Heard them a few minutes earlier without the callsigns also.
1011: UGLY 1 flight heading for area R-4006 in the Pax River area per 354.15 conversation.
1013: UGLY 1 flight handed off to Patuxent Approach 305.2 where they check in and say they'll work for the next 15 minutes in that area.
1014: ANGRY flight coming back from some range...tac 143.15 and to SOF 139.9 with mission results and Codes....1 is Code 3, 2 is Code 2. 69 miles out.
1015: UGLY 1 flight handed off to BayWatch on 270.8 where they check in at 10,500 and are climbing to 15500. They'll work 3500-20000 for 15 minutes but BayWatch tells them to stay above 4000. They say when finished, their flight plan is direct Modena, direct Willow Grove at 11,000 feet.
1018: ANGRY flight to Reagan TRACON 270.275 for approach to Andrews.
1021: TEAM 47 and 48 still chatting on 141.525. (I did not have this as a TEAM interplane freq prior to this. Did have 143.525 previously though.)
1025: More Atlantic City F-16s on tac 138.875.
1025: F-22A activity on Langley tac freq 257.075.
1025: ANGRY to ADW Tower for landing. 349.0
1030-33: UGLY having trouble finding a T-2 flying near them that BayWatch keeps giving them heads up about....UGLY requests "noggins up" from BayWatch if he gets within 3 miles of them. Finally gives up and says they're ready to clear out of here and head home. «270.8»
1035: UGLY 1 flight heading for 11,000 - their assigned flight plan altitude «270.8» Handed off to Pax Approach «305.2» where they request direct Willow Grove.
1038: F-22A activity still going on 257.075 but no callsigns heard yet.
1039: BULLY flight being heard again on tac 139.15. (They sure didn't spend much time at Dare.)
1043: UGLY 1 flight to ZDC-Cape Charles 256.8 where they check in at 11000 and request direct Modena. They're handed off to ZDC-Casino 285.4 where they make the same request.
(The UGLY flight has not been heard on any of its six VHF tac freqs...they must be working one of their four low band freqs.)
1044: ZDC-Casino gives the UGLY 1 flight direct DuPont instead. «285.4»
1045: Primary AR-636 freq 238.9 active. One of the aircraft says he's 3 minutes from Norfolk right now.
1047: NAVY 377 in the pattern at ADW with Approach 119.3.
1048: BULLY flight with ZDC-Calvert 281.4 and then handed off to Reagan TRACON 270.275 at 1049.
1050: UGLY flight handed off by ZDC-Casino 285.4 to Philly Approach 269.25
1051: UGLY 1 flight to Philly Approach 269.25 where they check in at 11,000.
1052: BULLY, flight of three, to ADW Tower 349.0 where they check in 8 miles to the southeast heading for runway 19R.
1056: BULLY 1...2...3 all report base, gear, stop, right....and fall onto the runway. «349.0»

UGLY and BULLY flights are home...the NJ F-16s disappeared as did the F-22A activity and so....it's break time.

Oh-oh. I knew this had to come sooner or later.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--July 10, 2006--
Telephonics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Griffon Corporation (NYSE:GFF) announced today a Not-to-Exceed contract award in excess of $25M from The Boeing Company for production of the Communications Open System Architecture (COSA) Integrated Radio Management System (IRMS) for the USAF C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft.
This contract is for production of the first 33 shipsets of IRMS equipment to be delivered over the next year to Boeing for retrofit into the existing fleet of C-17A aircraft. The USAF and Boeing are expected to order a total of 124 shipsets over the next five years to provide a fully harmonized fleet. Total value of contract, including spares, is expected to exceed $110 million.

This communication management avionics system provides C-17 aircrews with secure fully digital audio, integrated displays and controls for management of all communication and navigation assets.

"The COSA IRMS system has been proven to greatly enhance the mission capability for the C-17 through its field performance on new production aircraft delivered from Boeing. The COSA upgrade provides the C-17 fleet with the ability to support its primary role as the backbone of the U.S. Air Force's capability for global projection and operations." stated Phil Nicholas, President of the Telephonics Communication Systems Division.
Telephonics is the world leader in the design and production of secure digital communications management and intercommunication systems for military aircraft for the U.S. Department of Defense and numerous international customers.
Work on the project will be accomplished at Telephonics facilities in Farmingdale and Huntington, N.Y.

1238: Have more F-22A aircraft on Langley tac 233.525. Not sure where these Raptors are staging from the past few days. Again today, I heard mention of "Archer" during the conversations -- possibly tied to Combat Archer.

1316: Have a MOVER 12 (KC-10A McGuire AFB) and WAVER 55 just finished refueling as reported to Giant Killer on 238.1. (I have nothing for WAVER) MOVER 12 handed off to ZDC-Cape Charles 132.55 where he's assigned 19,000 feet.
1318: WILD flight of two F-16s airborne from Andrews with TRACON 348.725 and tac 143.6...climbing out.
1321: WILD handed off to ZDC-Calvert 281.4 (U-7)...climbing through 16 for 17,000...heading for 22,000.
1326: WAVER 55 with Giant Killer on 238.1 but he's difficult to copy. I was sure of the WAVER callsign during the refueling but not so sure anymore.
1326: BULLY flight of four F-16s off the deck at Andrews and on tac 139.15. (BULLY 2 is the new femop)
1327: BULLY flight with ZDC-Calvert 281.4 climbing.
1329: WILD flight handed off to ZDC-???? 290.425 where they check in. (Yes, this is another Washington Center new freq. They called "Washington Center" on the freq.
In the recent past, when Andrews F-16s went to Dare County Range, they have been handed off from ZDC-Calvert to ZDC-Norfolk. However, the 327.8 ZDC-Norfolk freq was in use as of last Friday. I guess it could have changed between then and now but we'll have to wait for more proof before putting that label on it.
1329: BULLY flight tells ZDC-Calvert they want to go direct to restricted area 5314 (Dare County Range)
1333: BULLY 1 flight calling Washington Center on 290.425. No joy after three calls.
1334: BULLY 1 makes contact with Washington Center 290.425 and checks in at FL 220.
1337: Another pair of Willow Grove A-10s heading down this way. Currently with ZDC-Kenton 354.15. Callsign CADE,
1339: CADE flight over to Pax Approach 305.2 for entry into the R-4006 area.
1340: CADE to BayWatch on 354.8 where they say they'll be working in the area for the next 25 minutes. Say they'll hold hands and be in the northern part of R-4006. They are going to work 10,000 feet and below. Will be hard to hear if you're out of this general area. (Again, not hearing this pair on their VHF hi tac/interflight channels so they must be on low band. Guess I'm going to have to program their low band channels if they're going to be doing this in this area. Up at Bollen or over at Willow Grove, I wouldn't stand a chance of hearing them on those freqs.)
1355: PAT 944 (UC-35) arrival message to Andrews Command Post 141.55. VIP pickup and headed out to Port Clinton (OH?).

1406: Have what sounds like ZIPPY 11 with Norfolk TRACON 370.925 reporting at 14,000 feet. (Flaky callsign ID...so far)
1409: Atlantic City F-16s active on tac 138.425.
1410: Have had someone with ZDC-Hagerstown 227.125 but too weak to copy. Usually very strong signals for anyone checking in there. ......aha! It's FIRST 11 (F-15 Langley, deployed Savannah), direct Savannah.
1412: Langley tac 228.175 active....might be the FIRST 11 flight. It's about same signal strength and it's not F-22A signal types.
1412: BICEP (F-16 NJ-ANG) into Giant Killer's W-107 area on 255.0. (Might be the flight from tac 138.425)
1416: Now have a flight with ZDC-Linden 319.1...also weak...sounds like they might be rolling down Route 95 instead of flying. Believe I heard him say it's FIRST 11, a flight of two F-15s.
1418: FIRST 11 now with ZDC-Casanova 282.2...still weak.
1420: NJ-ANG tac 138.875 also active so BICEP could be either 138.425 or 138.875.
Confirmed....BICEP is the flight on 138.425. No callsign ID on 138.875 yet.
1424: JOSA 489 to Griffin Command on 141.55 to report just taking off from Richmond at 1804Z and wants Griffin Command to put that into the system for her.
Yet another instance of that U/I Griffin Command on this freq.

(I totally lost the CADE flight from Willow Grove that went to Pax area R-4006. They must have entered one of the low level military flight routes for the trip home. They should have finished their mission at Pax around 1405 according to their reported schedule.)

1434: BICEP tells Giant Killer they'll be pushing off to the tanker freq. «255.0»
1434: Hearing refueling freq «288.0» active. (Not sure if this is BICEP yet.)
1435: BULLY flight on the way home to Andrews from Dare County Range...mission results to SOF on «139.9». All four jets are Code 1. Change back to V-6 on «139.15» where flight leader sends the femop (BULLY 2) to fetch the ATIS report. Fetch! Fetch! She fetched and came back with the report...runway 19R is the active runway per her report.
1438: Refueling freq 288.0 still active but no callsigns heard yet. This freq has normally been used in the Pax area...have never heard it up in W-107. It's almosts surely the refueling activity for the BICEP flight.
(At 1445 confirmed that it's the BICEP flight doing the refueling on 288.0. Never heard a callsign for the tanker.)
1439: SAM 0423 landing ADW «118.4»
1439: WILD flight returning home to Andrews also...with ZDC-Calvert 281.4.
1440: WILD flight with mission results to SOF on «139.9»...both Code 1....69 miles out. Then back to tac V-5 on «143.6»
1442: BULLY flight to TRACON «335.5» heading for runway at Andrews. Descending from 9000 to 4000...and want 2000 due to weather...TRACON only gives them 3000.
1447: WILD flight of two F-16s handed off from ZDC-Calvert 281.4 to TRACON on U-19 «335.5» for approach.
1448: BULLY flight 4 miles to the east as they report to ADW Tower for landing on «349.0»
1451: BULLY 1 reports base, gear down, full stop, right....2 with same message....3 same message....4 same message. (42 seconds from 1st to last) «349.0»
1453: WILD 1 checks in with Andrews Tower as two Capitol Guardian F-16s for landing. «349.0» Reports seeing the helicopter (which happens to be MUSSEL 08).
1456: WILD 1 reports base, gear, stop, right....2 does the same. (reports "left" first time and then corrects to "right." «349.0»
(By the way, neither BULLY nor WILD flights used the new 290.425 ZDC freq on the way home. I was parked on it with one radio but their first contacts within listening range were on Calvert 281.4.)

1501: MUSSEL 03 landing Andrews «118.4»
1501: BICEP flight with Devil Ops on V-1 «138.125». (I've been having a lot of trouble with that freq the past couple of weeks. Have some kind of noisy signal full-time on it.)
1503: GIant Killer's ops freq «312.3» active with ACM activity. Might be the BICEPs.
1505: Forgot to post this....both 138.425 and 138.875 have the BICEP callsign on them. Believe it's a flight of four with two BICEPs on each freq.
1542: HOIST 90 (KC-10A McGuire AFB NJ) calling McGuire CP «319.4» (He's been passing a list of maintenance writeups for the past several minutes along with his arrival message.)
1547: HOIST 90 Heavy to ACY Approach «124.6» heading down to 7000 feet.
1549: HOIST 90 cleared down to 5000 feet by Atlantic City Approach «124.6»
1559: ROMAN 65 (F/A-18 VFA-106 NAS Oceana) with ZDC-Azalea «263.1» to say he wants to cancel present course and head for NAS Oceana.
1559: ROMAN 65 handed off to ZDC-Irons «360.85» where he repeats that message...says he needs to get on the deck as soon as possible. (If there's a problem with the aircraft, he didn't state it.) He's descending out of 20,000...initial steer to HARCUM....cleared down to 14,000.

1609: ROMAN 65 still with ZDC-Irons heading east-southeast from current position toward Oceana NAS. «360.85» (He hasn't reported anything out of the ordinary to account for his cancellation of his flight plan and turn for Oceana.)

1610: Had enough...end of log...back later.

 

[freqhopping]

135.525
I've heard quite a bit of commercial traffic on it today. Most recently Continental-65 Newark to LA climbing to FL430

 

[TinEar]

Re 135.525: Same here...noted it got active around noon. Also noted all aircraft on it have been at FL 380 or higher during the period I was listening to it. I hear this happen occasionally for unknown reasons. Guess it could be overflow high flight level activity they segregated out from other traffic.

 

[Mark]

ARMY 01052 called SAM Command around 1730 local and replied
"GRIFFIN is new callsign?" OK GRIFFIN Command home station Army Citation arriving 15 minutes.
Guess the CP operator insisted on new callsign. May take a while for everybody to get on board.

Mark

2027: Air Force 2 in the pattern at Andrews with Approach «119.3».
2034: Air Force 2 to Andrews Tower «118.4» for landing on runway 19R. Said he had 6 miles of visibility but still requested the lights be turned on.
2049: MARINE 2 with DCA Helo Control «120.75»
Didn't take long to get the Vice-President off the plane and onto the helo and on his way home...or wherever.

2110: REACH 33113 to SAM Command on «141.55» (Will call back shortly when he's closer.)
2114: REACH 33113 wants to know how many AirEvac personnel he'll be bringing on board. «141.55»

2241-44: AIREVAC 41674 with arrival message to SAM Command «378.1». Due in blocks 0315Z, no cargo or pax to offload, needs 20,000 pounds of fuel, fleet service and parking...gets Row 11-B.
2258: DC 11 and DC 12 (KC-135R 756th ARS Andrews AFB) both with LIBERATOR on squadron freq «351.2» approaching home. They are being urged to "hurry."

2316: DC 11 reports 15 minutes out to LIBERATOR on «351.2»
2321: DC 11 with Andrews Tower «118.4» on ILS approach.
2336: REACH 327T landing at Andrews with Tower «118.4»

(And that reminds me...the freq - 136.725 - I've been calling the "Presidential Air Fleet Support" channel is really a SAM Interplane freq so that's what I'll call it from now on.)

7/10/2006 - -- Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley announces the name selected for the new Lockheed Martin F-35 during the inauguration ceremony at the Lockheed Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 7. The jet, named the Lightning II, is a 5th-generation, supersonic stealth fighter designed to replace a wide range of existing aircraft, including the AV-8B Harrier, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and Royal Air Force Harrier GR-7 and Sea Harriers

Good Morning Tony And All,

Starting at about 1325Z currently have CAPITOL 91 and 92 (F-16s DC ANG), flight of two up in the DUKE practicing intercepts, one of the two is simulating Darkstar. They are working on 139.150. They are also talking with a tanker on the DUKE Primary Freq of 301.60. I haven't gotten the Tanker's callsign yet. I do know he is at 21,000 feet and is hanging around while these two get in their play time.

1343: Tanker is OPEC 43. Correction....It's actually OPEC 23.
1345: Also talking with HUNTRESS on 260.90.
1346: CAPITOL 91 asking HUNTRESS if the A-10s are inbound yet.
1348: CAPITOL 91 relays to HUNTRESS that they will be headed towards ERIE and then to SELFRIDGE.
1352: OPEC 23 relays to HUNTRESS that are established in the KINZUA Airspace and have the block from 19,000 to 22,000.
1356: They switch to the Boom Freq, CAPITOL 91 "Push 9". CAPITOL 92 doesn't jive so he is relayed the freq of 396.90.
1357: OPEC 23 and the two CAPITOL aircraft are coordinating on 396.90.

OPEC 23 tail number is 86-0036, a KC-10 out of McGuire AFB
CAPITOL 91 tail number is 85-1474 didn't quite catch CAPITOL 92's tail.

1405: CAPITOL 91 to Huntress on 260.90 working is clearance as filed to Erie and then Selfridge. Says they'll be done refuelling in about 4 minutes.
1408: CAPITOL and OPEC are wrapped up.
1409: OPEC to HUNTRESS on 260.90 requesting Direct Philipsburg.
1409: CAPITOL 91 to Cleveland CTR on 353.85 repeating flight plan to Selfridge.
1422: CAPITOL Flight Switched to "Victor 7" 143.15. The 139.150 is "Victor 6". They also were just handed over to Cleveland Center 323.20.

1425: Now have a Raven Flight entering the DUKE contacting Cleveland Center on 291.65. They will be working with the two DC aircraft mentioned by Tony above. DC 21 self identifies as a KC-135.
1427: RAVEN Flight and DC flight coordinating on 301.60, Duke Primary.
1429: Ravens using a TAC Freq of 142.30. They'll want 2,000 Lbs each.
1436: Ravens and DCs doing their thing. Ravens will be headed to R5802, bollen range when they're done.
1437: Sounds like they're done and the Raven's are headed out. Ravens switch back to 291.65 to head to 5802.
1447: The DC flight is still playing around on 301.60.
1455: Sounds like DC Flight is done. They will exit the DUKE about 10 minutes apart.

WHEW, what a wild morning...

Sounds like the two DC aircraft might be using an interplane of 142.80. They are also going to play around at the top of the block, talking to each other on 301.60.

Reply to TinEar Below,
Man I don't know how you do are able to post and follow all of the action on a busy day. I am having trouble keeping everything straight, but it seems to have calmed down now, just the two DC aircraft. I wouldn't have been able to pick up half of what I was able to if it wasn't for guys like you updating the wiki pages with the VHF presets. Which reminds me, I should update the Willow Grove 111th wiki. Oh, and yes, it was awesome. I hope they use the DUKE MOA and KINZUA ARTCC combo more often.

111th Wiki Updated!! Hooray!

Dave

 

[TinEar]

Nice work Dave. Did it live up to your expectations after the buildup from yesterday? I didn't get to the radios early enough to tip you to those DC F-16s but you didn't need any help and caught them just fine.

Turned on the radios about 1020 and am hearing....
BRAVE 61/62 flight of F-16s from Andrews just finishing a scramble with HUNTRESS at about 1020 on 139.7. Same old, same old....62 will land, 61 will hold around Nottingham for about 20 minutes.

Also hearing NJ-ANG F-16s, callsign DEVIL working GIant Killer's ops freq 312.3. Not sure where they are but they've been working W-107 very often lately. Their tac is 138.425. Also have 138.875 active.

We've also got some Martin State A-10s down at Pax. WARDOG 1 (OA-10) is MARSA with another flight but haven't heard their callsign yet. Ops freq is 256.5. The other callsign turns out to be AXEMAN.

1032: Have a OPEC 23 (KC-10A McGuire AFB) with Dover CP on 349.4 that wants a phone call placed to the Guard unit at McGuire. He gives the DSN and wants their tanker, ROCCO 62, to know they'll be at the IP about an hour early if ROCCO 62 wants to leave early and get it done. (There's your tanker from the Duke, Dave.)
1037: BUGSY 11 (F-22A Langley) to Giant Killer on 238.1 to announce RTB in 5 minutes. Their tac freq is 233.525.
1040: Have OPEC 23 with LIBERATOR on 351.2 wanting to know which unit their tanker - HOSER - is from. Says they "can't get ahold of them." A minute later OPEC 23 tells LIBERATOR to forget it...they have it figured out. (Kind of strange since HOSER is also a McGuire based unit of KC-135s...not to mention they had just previously said their tanker was ROCCO 62.)
1045: BUGSY 11 flight ready for RTB. They are descending through 34,000 and will RTB to Oceana. «249.8» (So now we know for sure the F-22As are temporarily based at Oceana.)
1050: Have the NJ F-16s headed home and currently with ACY Tower on 239.0.
1051: More Langley fighters...this time on tac 228.45.
1052: U/I fighters on tac freq «138.75»
1058: U/I fighters on tac freq «141.675»

1100: Bollen Range active «237.2» (Must be the RAVENs you said were on their way to R-5802 Dave.)
Meanwhile, the AXEMAN/WARDOG flights are still working at Pax on 256.5.

Speaking of the MD-ANG A-10 unit....we have a low band freq for them of 41.4 on the list of seven that's been floating around forever. However, the 41.4 is not a tac/interflight freq. It's the low band freq for R-5802 Bollen Range.

1108: WARDOG notifies BayWatch that he's leaving R-6609 and will RTB at this time. «256.5»
1110: Guard Copter 21167 calls Martin State Tower on 297.2 to say he's over the Eastern Shore and wonders why he can't be heard on VHF. He's told to switch to TRACON on 126.75 but requests a UHF freq and gets 290.475 as a replacement. Away he goes.
1110: HOSER 11 (KC-135 McGuire) to Giant Killer on «249.8» to say the weather in AR-636 is not good and asks if he can work a little bit north of 636 for his refueling ops.
1114: WARDOG and AXEMAN flights clearing out of Pax River area on «281.8»
1114: HOSER 11 tells Giant Killer he'll be MARSA with OPEC (no doubt OPEC 23 from traffic above)
1115: OPEC 23 to Giant Killer on «249.8» to say he's established in the area.
1115: AXEMAN to Raven Ops on «143.8» with maintenance problem list. Says he's not declaring an emergency at this time.
1115: Copter 21167 back to 297.2 with MTN Tower to say he can't raise anyone on the other freqs and wants to stay right here on this one.
1117: AXEMAN says he's getting a "master caution" light and getting some rolling of the aircraft when it comes on. (This doesn't sound good.) Raven Ops again asks about declaring emergency and AXEMAN says he's starting to rethink that.
1119: AXEMAN 1 declaring emergency at this time to Pax River on «281.8» and will land at Pax...requesting straight in approach. Nope...he's coming home to Martin State with the emergency.
1121: AXEMAN 1 to Raven Ops declaring emergency at this time. «143.8»
1121: Have a tanker (DC 21??) on Duke's freq «301.6» talking about coming home with about 45K fuel.
1122: Same tanker....DC 21....to LIBERATOR on 351.2 now with same message. Says his initials are R-O-C-K-Y...also says he's got to do about 2 hours of touch and goes.
1123: WARDOG to MTN Tower wanting straight in quick landing because AXEMAN is coming in behind hime with an emergency and he wants to be out of the way. «297.2»
1125: WARDOG reports 2 miles out, gear down for full stop landing «297.2»
1127: AXEMAN flight is using low band FM freq «34.4» with his wingman on approach. Wingman says Hart-Miller is under their nose.
1129: AXEMAN 2 tells MTN Tower he'll be in a chase position while AXEMAN 1 lands «297.2»
1129: AXEMAN 2 tells 1 the fire crews are coming out on the runway. «34.4»
1130: AXEMAN 1 reports gear down...at 2000 feet...asks if he's cleared to land. (A little pilot humor.) «297.2»
1132: AXEMAN 1 has touched down...apparently safely (although that's not confirmed)....AXEMAN 2 getting ready to land....RAVEN flight checks in on the freq also. «297.2»
The RAVEN 1 transmitter sounds like it's stuck in FM mode while here on 297.2. Something is definitely wrong with it...sounds awful.
1135: U/I fighter traffic on both 140.2 and 141.675.
1138: RAVEN 1 and 2 landing at MTN with Tower on «297.2»
All the MD-ANG A-10s are home and will have a lot to talk about during the debriefing.
Haven't heard a word from Raven Ops on either 143.8 or 347.2 after the birds landed. Usually, they get chatty after a mission....was hoping to hear a "congratulations" to AXEMAN 1 for making it safely.
1144: The pair of fighters using tac «141.675» is talking about the ATIS information and that the active runway is 23. Hmmm...will have to find that one.
1147: DC 22 with ADW Tower «118.4» reports gear down for the ILS option.
1148: JOSA 923 to Griffin Command on «141.55» to report takeoff time as 1545Z
1149: TEAM 21 (KC-10A McGuire) calling OPEC (no suffix) on tanker interplane «139.875» Just prior to that he called on AR Primary «238.9» ....and does again...still not using a suffix for the OPEC bird.
1149: Meanwhile OPEC 23 is calling on GK's freq «249.8»
1150: HOSER 11 pops up on «238.9» to tell TEAM 21 that OPEC is being heard on GK's freq. 21 asks about the wx in 636. HOSER says it's okay in the north and crappy in the south. HOSER says he has a couple of aircraft he's working with - just fooling around - and will be leaving the area shortly.
1153: PEACH 66 (JSTARS E-8 Warner Robins AFB) "Center" on Guard Dog freq «288.35» several calls, no joy.
1153: FUZZY 22 (KC-135R NY-ANG Niagara Falls) calling Giant Killer on «238.1» reporting at FL 330. NO joy with GK
1157: FUZZY 22 tries GK on «249.8», makes contact and reports now at FL 280 heading for 300.
1158: PEACH 66 calls "Center on 288.35" several more times...gives a test count...and still has no reply.
This PEACH 66 aircraft has been working up in the New England area the past couple of days.

(Ref below) Didn't get to hear that crash Dan...didn't have the radios on in time this morning. Thought we were going to have another with the AXEMAN flight but, fortunately, all turned out well.

This has been a wild and wooly morning. It's time for a break. Back later.

Plane down at Lee Airport

While this may not be MilAir related I heard that a plane went down in the field near Lee Airport (South of Annapolis) just before 10am this morning. I have no further details. Did anyone hear anything?


See story on WUSA's website http://www.wusa9.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=50694

Update on C-5 crash at Dover

According to a channel 9 report, the flight crew is being blamed for the crash of that C-5 at Dover.

[TinEar]

Dave, glad you posted that info in the Wiki for the Willow Grove A-10s. Thank you. I was going to ask you today if you were going to do that and then saw your message. I think the important thing for me to learn from those freq cards was that the A-10s use their auxiliary radio for tac - or "interflight" freqs as they call them - for both low and high bands. I had always thought those VHF hi freqs were on their primary radio. Now I see it's no problem for them to switch back and forth between the VHF low and high bands since it's on the same radio.

The only two "interflight" low band freqs I've heard used recently by the Martin State A-10s have been 34.4 and 41.95. But now I've got to rethink the whole list of freqs since it may be laid out the same way the Willow Grove fighters have theirs - with six VHF high and four VHF low freqs for tac/interflight.

1205: OPEC 23 again, this time with Atlantic City Approach on «124.6» wants to do an ILS approach at ACY before returning back to McGuire.
1210: MOVER 20 (KC-10A McGuire) also with ACY Approach on «124.6» wanting to do some ILS work at Atlantic City.
1211: HOSER 11 once again with Giant Killer on «249.8»
1214: TEAM 21 also with GK on «249.8»
Sounds like every tanker in the fleet is up today.

And now I'm really taking that break. 'Till later.

 

[TinEar]

Okay...here we go again....

1243: HOSER 11 (KC-135R McGuire AFB) with Atlantic City Approach «124.6»
1243: And at the same time, another op aboard HOSER 11 on squadron freq «303.0»
1247: DC 22 (KC-135R Andrews) still in the pattern at Andrews with Approach on «119.3»
1248: WAMO 51 (Washington Aerial Measurements Office) with Andrews Tower «118.4» for landing.
1249: DC 22 to LIBERATOR «351.2» "See you on the ground when we land."
1250: DC 22 (or maybe it was 21) with Andrews Tower «118.4» for landing this time....gear down.
1252: DC 22 with Approach «119.3» for option on runway 19R.
1255: DC 21 reports gear down, full stop. «118.4»

1304: PAT 274 to Davison AAF on «139.4» with arrival message... be there in about 15 minutes, needs "a couple hundred pounds of fuel" and his tail number is 30726. (Only logged this Tony since I didn't think you were currently logging.)
1305: Have a U/I aircraft on «308.025» saying his destination is ORF (Norfolk). (I have no record of this freq from past usage.) I hope this doesn't turn out to be something like another new ZDC freq. I have interference here from a harmonic of the Anne Arundel County Fire Dispatch freq 154.01 which transmits fairly close to me - within a couple of miles.)
1305: Have BATON 20 (I think) with Baton Ops on «395.1» giving arrival message...due there at 1730Z, is A-1 and has 8500 pounds of fuel.
1315: ANGRY flight of two F-16s airborne from Andrews on tac «143.6» and with TRACON on «348.725» heading toward PALEO.
1305-1315: Had an aircraft (unable to hear callsign but suffix 1) with ZDC-Casanova 282.2, ZDC-Montebello 284.7, ZDC-Irons 360.85 and then to Norfolk TRACON (West) 360.6.
1318: DC 22 finally landing...heard on 351.2 and then with ADW Tower 118.4...full stop landing.
1320: AR-636 primary «238.9» active again.
1325: 10 minutes since takeoff and haven't heard the ANGRY flight anywhere but tac 143.6...flight leader says contact the range on U-12 for wx....might be them with ZDC-Kenton 354.15. (U-12 should be 283.1 - the Warren Grove Range freq. Wingman comes back with the range wx but I heard nothing during scan on range freq.)
1329: One of the ANGRY F-16s is having a pod problem...not good for range work. «143.6»
1330: VENUS 26 arriving...JOSA 857 departing....with SAM Command «141.55»
1332: Finally have the ANGRY flight at Warren Grove Range «283.1»
1333: Have a U/I flight of three aircraft mentioning going to Pax and working Reagan TRACON 279.575. Flight level is 3000 feet and so they're very difficult to copy. I have a high noise level across all bands today. Can't get down to the normal squelch level or even near it.
1353: Have what sounds like AXEMAN 1 on Pax River freq «314.0» talking about going over to R-6604 by Wallops. (Very muffled transmitter so not sure of the callsign)
1357: PAT 608 with arrival message to Andrews «378.1» No dropoffs, picking up pax. Be there in 15-20 minutes. (Heard 5 minutes later with Approach on 119.3)

1401: The TRACON 279.575 freq is still active...just heard someone mention DRAGO 51 here. I've heard transmissions off and on for the past 20 minutes but they've been extremely weak.
1405: Again hearing DRAGO 51 on 279.575 but can't copy his transmissions. Normally, the DRAGO flights are booming while working this freq. I hear him mention something about NIP which is Jacksonville FL Naval Air Station.
1405: The ANGRY flight is on the way back from Warren Grove. «143.6»
1408: DRAGO 51 says switching to 348.725 (Reagan TRACON) and do...says they're a flight of three. I note his transmitter signal strength is full meter but his modulation level is down in the mud. They apparently performed a memorial flyby between the time I first heard them at 1333 and now.
1412: DRAGO 51 handed off to ZDC-Calvert 281.4 and check in there as a flight of three at FL 13,000 and heading up to 15000. (Same on this freq...very strong signal but no modulation.)
1414: NJ-ANG F-16s active on tac 138.425
1415: DRAGO 51 flight cleared up to 24,000 feet. «281.4»
1420: NJ-ANG F-16s also active on tac 138.875
1421: RAVEN 1 (A-10 MD-ANG Warfield ANGB) with Dover Approach «257.875» looking for flight following to R-5002 (Warren Grove Range)...going down to 2000 feet and says he's a single ship flight.
1422: DRAGO 51 flight still with ZDC-Calvert «281.4» but getting weak (signal strength) now.
1424: ANGRY flight making an approach to the runway at Pax River and then will take a tunnel back to Andrews after this approach. «143.6»
1426: DRAGO 51 flight turned to course 190 by ZDC-Calvert controller. «281.4» (Last transmission heard by the flight.)
1429: COBRA 26 (EA-6B, VAQ-209 Andrews) with Pax River Approach «120.05»
1431: Navy WATERBUG 958 (Force Aircraft Test Squadron, NAS Patuxent River) to Atlantic City Approach «124.6» wants R-Nav to runway 22.
1433: RAVEN 1 with Atlantic City Approach «327.125»
1436: RAVEN 1 calling Warren Grove Range «283.1» Flying around the range to check the wx...says when he gets 5 miles to the south "of you guys" it clears right up.
1436-38: REACH 5292 calling Dover CP «349.4» No joy.
1439: ANGRY flight headed home...wingman gets the ATIS reports and brings it back to tac «143.6»
1441: BICEP 11 flight (F-16 NJ-ANG) with Atlantic City Tower «239.0» for landing.
1443: ANGRY flight with Reagan TRACON «270.275» for approach to Andrews...have field in sight.
1443: ANGRY over to ADW Tower «349.0» where they report a 7 mile initial.
1446: ANGRY 1 reports base, gear, stop, right....ANGRY 2 the same. «349.0»

1506: RAVEN 1, IDs as a single A-10, with Dover Approach on «257.875» to do an approach to runway 19.
1510: VENUS 26 inbound message to Andrews «141.55»
1515: Army 01053 to SAM Command on «141.55» with inbound message....IDs as a Citation with an R-4 and wants parking....gets 10 Row.
1519: Army 01053 with ADW Approach «119.3» heading towards Nottingham. At 12,000 feet.
1527: Have a U/I aircraft (missed callsign while out of room) but heard him give his tail number and aircraft ID as 61-2672 and OC-135. (this should make him an Open Skies aircraft)
1531: COBRA 72 (EA-6B VAQ-209 Andrews) to SAM Command «141.55»
1531: Army 01053 landing Andrews with Tower «118.4»...gear down 1532.
1540: RAVEN 1 signing off from Dover's Departure freq «323.0» and over to Raven Ops on «347.2» where he reports Code 2 status.
1543: COBRA 72 with ADW Approach «119.3» cancelling his approach...."Looks like we have an air block in the back." (Repeats that a couple of times. No idea what it means.)
1545: COBRA 72 says he wants to go into holding «119.3» He's heading for Nottingham. Right hand turns, 15 mile legs during his hold. He'll be at 11,000 feet during the hold. At 6000 now, heading up. He's stopped at 9000 by Approach and told to hold there.
1546: RAVEN 1 with MTN Tower for landing. «297.2»
1548: SPECTRE 10 (sounds like -- if so, he's an AC-130 from Hurlburt Field FL) with ADW Tower for landing «118.4» (Sounded more like SPECK than SPECTRE but I have no listing for SPECK.)
1552: Evac 3113 calling Griffin Command «141.55»
1553: Evac 3113 changes to SAM Command on «141.55» and gives arrival msg....35 minutes out, has 17 patients, 10 pax and 1 baggage pallet. Says he has seats on the outbound but "How many people want to go back to Mississippi?"
1555: COBRA 72 says he can start back now as long as he gets extended vectors. «119.3» Going back down to 6000 feet.
1556: COBRA 72 to SAM Command on «141.55» "Checking on your status, please." And then..."Appreciate the update."
Note: Several times during the flight of Cobra 72, he added the 'Heavy" after his callsign. Could he be an EA-6B and be "Heavy?"

1604: COBRA 72 Heavy over to AFW Tower for landing on runway 19R.

End of log...my fingers are worn out today.

The Warren Grove Range (R-5002) VHF freq is 139.625 although I've never been able to hear anything there. Others to the north of the range do hear it. They also have a low band freq of 32.35 FM. My only copy at the range is on their UHF (which really isn't UHF) 283.1.

(Ref below): Tony, it appears to be a good happening from your tone.

Re: PAT 274

1304: PAT 274 to Davison AAF on «139.4» with arrival message... be there in about 15 minutes, needs "a couple hundred pounds of fuel" and his tail number is 30726. (Only logged this Tony since I didn't think you were currently logging.)

Yes, I'm on my way right now...EXCELLENT!!! New UC-35D!!

Just back in from having bagged this one, landed rwy 14 @ 1720Z.

Again, Tin, thanks so much foir the heads up on this one!

The new ZDC UHF freqs.....Based on some work to identify locations of handoffs and also based on some new info coming to me, the IDs of these new freqs may be as follows:

235.625 Blackstone Sector 20, paired with 127.75. (This was my guess in the logs several weeks ago based on handoffs and looks like it's being confirmed today.) This would replace 380.3 which has not been heard in a very long time and considering it's in the middle of the LMR band, we figured it would go anyway.

290.425 Franklin Sector 33, paired with 132.025. This would replace 269.4 which doesn't make much sense but what has that got to do with anything?

307.025 Potomac Sector 4 paired with 133.975. Again, this has been my guess based on handoffs. It would replace 381.5 which is again logical since it's in the middle of the new LMR band.

323.225 Not a clue...yet. Handoffs have been heard from both Calvert and Montebello Sectors.

Take all of this info with a grain of salt for now until more info is forthcoming but keep it in mind for your own identification work.

Hi Tin,

Heard this one as well but forgot to post it - this is indeed a UC-35C, serial 00-1053.
