Sticky Thread for MilAir

[TinEar]

Guessing...on both of them...since those are the next two frequencies down in order from 12.
Edit: Nevermind all of that. I just realized I left 234.6 out of the equation. Completely forget anything I said about Blue 10 and 11. A senior moment. Glad you questioned that Chuck.
And I just looked at an old list I had filed away which indicates 234.6 is Blue 10 - which would still possibly make 235.9 Blue 11. In any case...it was all just guesses and not worth a tinker's damn.

2010: Air Force 2 landing at Andrews with Tower. «118.4»
2012: REACH 331T calling McGuire CP on «319.4» (Originally scheduled for Andrews)
2013: BOXER 41 (201st ALS, Andrews) on squadron freq «314.25»
2019: REACH 331T gives arrival message to McGuire CP....20 minutes out....dropping off one crew member and then heading to Andrews. «319.4»
2048: REACH 920 calling Andrews CP «378.1» He then tries «141.55» but has a lousy transmitter there. Goes back to «378.1» Finally makes contact on «378.1» at 2054 and ID's as a heavy C-5. 125,000 pounds of cargo to download. (Loadmasters at ADW are not smiling.)
2049: REACH 3119 calling Dover CP «349.4» Makes contact at 2054 for arrival message.
2051: REACH 990 arrival msg to Andrews «141.55» IDs as a C-17.

2107: REACH 331T with arrival message to Andrews «141.55» tail 33127....bunch of pax to offload.
2119: Sounded like FORCE 55 giving departure message to SAM Command of 0114Z on «141.55»
Was watching the Red Sox hit a 3-run home run to tie the game and barely listening to the scanner...sorry.
2125: JOSA 631 (C-21 40074) with arrival message to Andrews «141.55»
2136: REACH 923 calling SAM Command on «378.1» x2 no joy.
2137: SAM 0397 gives arrival message to SAM Command «141.55» expected blocks at 0205Z.
2139: REACH 923 calls again on both «378.1/141.55» with same result...no joy.
2140: And Andrews Command Post calling SAM 0397 several times with no joy. «141.55» Proving it goes both ways.
2145: REACH 923 makes contact on «141.55» to give arrival msg...15-20 minutes out, A-1, 15 pax, 3 rolling stock and needs crew bus for 3...tail 95-0104 which makes him a C-17.
2147: REACH 923 tells Andrews he also needs Customs and Ag to meet the plane. «141.55»
2153: SAM 0397 landing runway 19L with ADW Tower «118.4»
2159: ____ 24 with Leesburg Radio on FSS freq «255.4» to announce entering an SR route for the next 15 minutes at 230 knots.. (Too weak to copy details.)

2212: HAGAR 22 (C-5 Dover) to Dover CP on «349.4» with arrival msg...will complete training in about 25 minutes and is A-2 with minor writeups.
2232: REACH 332T to Andrews CP with arrival msg...20 minutes out, tail 80056, A-2, has 3 rolling stock and 13 duty pax to offload, needs fleet service, parking.

(And so I go to dinner about 10:30 (yeah late) and hear all kinds of aircraft sounding off from down here in the dungeon. Missed them all.)

Chuck: Guess we let that other group know 331T's destination. Both your message and mine came through to me at the same time. Didn't know you had sent yours.

Ref REACH 920: Yes, he sounded off freq but said he was transmitting on 141.55. The ground controller told him he had a bad sounding transmitter also and sent him to 378.1 so it wasn't just us. Also learned from that aircraft that the ground controller for 141.55 and 378.1 were two different people - so it's two different people that are asleep when they can't make contact on either.

Ref 331T: I took the original message to indicate an emergency of some type was the reason to divert to McGuire. Or maybe I wanted that to be the reason rather than just another O-6 that didn't want the bother of going from Andrews to McGuire by his own means. You can bet they didn't do it for an E-3.

 

[n3bxv]

2028 <118.4> Marine 2 departs Andrews, requests freq switch to ??
Reach 920 sounds like he's calling off freq, like Hoover was doing the other evening.

Ref the 331T flight, don't you wish you could have an airplane divert to get you home on time?
I once drove a semi truck weighing 78,000 lbs onto a C-17, and so that was easy to unload. I hope for their sake its a couple of big pieces and not a million pallets..

2106<141.55> and here's our friend Reach 331T inbound K ADW. Tail -= 03-3127 C-17A, Mcguire Based..

 

[Mateo]

Re: FORCE 55.

The arrival message was on SAM CP/141.55 at 1924. I jotted down 'Spirit 55' and then 'Swift 55,' but the departure message sounded like neither of those. He did pass 00448 as the tail, which comes back to Westover C-5 70-0448. Offloaded an O-7, and other arrival minutia which I didn't quite get.

 

[TinEar]

Hello Mateo and welcome to the thread. It's good to have another "voice" here.

The only callsign I know for Westover C-5s is the good, old, standby RODD....but this wasn't RODD.

Close to 2300...the ground controller for Potomac TRACON 257.2 freq at Reagan is booming in here tonight. This has been happening often recently.

2307: REACH 3119 to SAM Command «141.55» with arrival message...about 25 minutes out...no pax or cargo. All he wants is a parking spot. (Had him going into Dover earlier at 2049.) Ground tells 3119 he doesn't have a parking spot for him right now. Ground is grousing about his arrival.
2315: SAM Command asks REACH 3119 if he took off on time from Dover. Aircraft says he did take off on time. «141.55». Says he was sked to take off at 0315Z and did take off at 0307Z. Ground says he has no place to park him and wants him to return to Dover. 3119 says he's almost there and they'll discuss it on the ground. Ground controller says, "I suggest you return to Dover." The argument is that Andrews is saying that REACH 3119 didn't get to Andrews on time according to his schedule. 3119 says he needs to meet the airevac aircraft. Andrews is insisting he go back to Dover. 3119 is angry to say the least...he says his paperwork and Andrews' paperwork are obviously different but that he took off from Dover when he was supposed to take off. He also says he's not going to wait in the air...he'll wait on the ground. Let's see what happens.
2325: Andrews is allowing REACH 3119 to land. «141.55» and he shows up with Tower on «118.4» for landing. (I'd sure like to hear the conversation on the ground when he gets there.)

Busy overnite for Heavies.Must be weather and event related.I know from talking
to former C-5 guys that when it gets real hot they sometimes have to go at night

Hey Tony, if they don't belong to the 130th and they're ex-167th, who do they belong to ?

 

[TinEar]

With the look of the storms on radar, I don't think we'll have too much MilAir listening tonight. The southern PA fire channels are sure hopping with activity as a result of storms up that way. Chester County Dispatch 160.185 and 159.735 are super active.

Did have a REACH 3082 with HUNTRESS on 364.2 at 1935. Said he was over Sea Isle NJ at 7000 feet, squawking 7041 and wanted a Mode 4 check.
Also have a DC tanker or two recovering at Andrews in this last half of the 1900 hour.

Got to at least try out my new 996 today with the preprogrammed freqs. I'm both impressed and unimpressed. It has a really nice clarity to the sound on both analog and digital trunks with a lot of punch in the audio. However, I can tell already it's not as sensitive as my 785 flock. The 785 was hearing things the 996 couldn't. Once I learn how to program the thing (or buy the ARC996 program) I'll get all my MilAir loaded into it and give it a real test.

I spoke too soon....

1956: BULLY 1, flight of two F-16s from Andrews heading to Syracuse and R-5201. With TRACON 257.2, tac 143.15 and now with ZDC-Swann 360.7. Swann built a flight plan for them to work in R-5201 (Ft. Drum) for 30 minutes and then they'll recover in Syracuse.
2005: ZDC-Swann gives BULLY 1 flight clearance direct RBV, direct Syracuse radial 050/45, delay in R-5201 and then recover at Syracuse and cleared to 27,000 feet.
RBV=Robbinsville NJ VORTAC Lat/Long: 40-12-08.599N / 074-29-42.048W
2006: BULLY 1 flight handed off to ZDC-Woodstown 125.45 or 363.0...they pick 363.0...climbing to 27000
2009: BULLY 1 flight handed off to ZNY-Kennedy 282.3 where they check in at FL 270. 5 calls, no joy. Back to 363.0 they go to report their problem. They eventually get handed off to 290.2, ZNY-Yardley
2015: BULLY 1 flight checks in with ZNY-Yardley 290.2 at FL 270. 5 calls no joy.
2019: Eventually they make contact...and are handed off to ZNY-East Texas 350.3 where they check in at 270 and request lower due to wx...they get FL 250. Over on tac the two pilots are talking about the munitions they'll use at the range.
2022: BULLY flight cleared down to FL 240. «350.3» And down to FL 230 a minute later.
2024: BULLY 1 handed off to ZNY-Huguenot 285.5 where they check in at FL 230.
They're starting to get weaker and thunderstorms are arriving overhead so I'm shutting down.

It struck me as funny too! From reading the 167th's "Newspaper" it seems like all the C-130s were supposed to have been gone in Feb. I wonder if they just haven't repainted the Aircraft yet?

[Mark]

Had Aussie 707 he spelled OSY-707 arrive Andrews 2015z,req 14k US gallons,
no doubt from the land down under..

Past 18 hours have had 5 visiting tankers into McGuire on 319.400
WOODEN 01,91,41,71 and 61.
Believe they are Travis California tankers,KC-10's or KC-135's or mix of both.
WOODEN 71 says he is inbound from Mirimar.
Haven't heard any report of chicks with them...

Could be for large upcoming Naval/Marine aircraft move or Summer drill exercise.

Mark

 

[TinEar]

2150: BOLAR 70 (C-5 Dover) talking with HUNTRESS on 254.2. Sounds like he was just sent there for a radio check by HUNTRESS.
2158: Tanker interplane 143.825 active. Probably TEAM KC-10s from McGuire.

2200: BOLAR 70 now calling on Metro freq 344.6
2201: OPEC 39 calling U/I station on 311.0 to say he's arriving there after being diverted from McGuire and IDs as a KC-10...wants airstairs and transportation to billeting. (Calling STEEL maybe per Chuck's msg below--if so, he's going to Pittsubrgh) (Callsign may be 29 instead of 39)
2207: BOLAR 70 now with Dover 349.4...apparently he's holding due to wx and says if he can't get in there in the next hour he'll go to Norfolk.
2211: BOLAR 70 isn't going to miss a freq...now with Langley Metro on 239.8 talking about his possible divert from Dover...sked into Dover at 0400Z.
2213: BOLAR 70 to Dover CP 349.4 to say there's a clear alley into Dover at the moment so he's going to try to get in there.
2246: OPEC 28 calling OPEC 25 on interplane 143.825. (And that probably makes the OPEC heard above 29 rather than 39 since they generally stay within the same series of numbers.)

Mark, that's pretty interesting with those WOODEN tankers. Will have to monitor McGuire more closely to see what develops.
Dave (DPD1) if you're reading, can you confirm that callsign's location, whether at Mirimar or elsewhere, and aircraft types since that's your neck of the woods?

 

[n3bxv]

2200 <311.0>A "Kilo Charlie One Zero", weather divert from Mcguire with ?Steel Control? requesting Air Stairs and?? (Steel is a maybe!)

 

[Mark]

Rgr Tin WOODEN's could be Summer 2 week drills maybe working with Navy/Air Force out
here in local warning areas.
WOODEN 01 first in this early am no doubt Wing Commander.
WOODEN 61 had 40k on the fuel.
Lets see if any more arrive soon and if offshore areas come alive.

ZDC Freqs

I received a request from TinEar to confirm some new ZDC UHF freqs. Sorry for the delay but here you go.

... Alan, let me know your impressions on the new BC996, I'm thinking about getting one but love my BC780 and 785s.

235.625 Blackstone Sector ZDC20
290.425 Franklin Sector ZDC33
307.025 Potomac Sector ZDC04
323.225 Hopewell Sector ZDC16

Hope this helps.

Jim

 

[TinEar]

Helps??? Thanks Jim. I sure appreciate that information and it removes all the question marks we've had over the past few months. It's a tremendous help. Oh, and if anyone wonders if Jim's information is good, I'll tell you that you can take it to the bank. It's good.

And then there's the 292.15 ZNY new freq.

Once I get a little more familiar with the 996 and get it loaded with all my MilAir and conventional public safety freqs, I'll have a better idea of how to compare it to my five 785s that comprise the bulk of my listening post. I've honestly never found a radio yet that can outperform my 785s. I've put them all on this same antenna and none could hear what the 785 does. I'm anxious to get the 996 into the mix. As I mentioned though, the 996 has some really nice audio punch to it that has been missing from radios for the past 20 years. I'll send you a PM with my impressions once I've had some time at the controls.

2314: JOSA 924 (Home Station C-21 40074) with arrival message to Andrews on 378.1. A-2 and has aboard an A-5, R-5, A-6 plus 2 Duty Pax and 0 Space A pax.
2330-35: Have a U/I aircraft testing the "Sparkle" red/green laser system around the D.C. area. No callsigns heard for either aircraft or ground station but it's on 260.9.
About 2345 heard an aircraft landing at Andrews with Tower on 118.4 that sounded like the same aircraft. Missed the callsign while listening to something else on the public safety radio.

0004: SAM 0458 landing Andrews. 118.4

Midnight: Hearing activity on the Potomac TRACON 279.575 freq that is normally used by DRAGO flights for memorial flybys. It's ground station traffic that sounds like a simulcast of the VHF side of a pair. However, I'm not hearing the same traffic on 124.0 which should be mated with it. It's not quite loud enough to pick out specific aircraft and checkpoints to be able to identify it. If someone close to DC can check it out, it'd be appreciated.
Found it...the 279.575 freq is matched with 119.85. It must be the consolidated control for late night operations. So it's Potomac TRACON for the Mount Vernon area (Reagan National). Ground station on the UHF side is getting louder and louder. Can't hear him at all on the VHF side of the pair. Hearing the aircraft on 119.85 and the ground station answering them on 279.575.

0030: And it's all yours Mateo. Good to see you here. I've had enough for tonight.

2330: -260.9- Didn't ID with a callsign, but is testing out the red-red-green lighting system used to warn wayward aircraft heading for Downtown DC. Every 10 seconds or so, he was calling out the light patterns that he was seeing.
0003: -118.4- SAM0458 arriving ADW 1L

Re: 167th AS WV ANG

Hi Chuck,

Yes, the 167th AS C-130Hs are gone from MRB and some are now stationed at CRW. Recent sightings suggest that at least three of the eight (not all as stated above, sorry just looked into it) are still marked as 167th AS but with Charleston WVa bands, so until someone can get down there (like me! ) to actually confirm the situation, it looks as though you might be correct. The fact that Scramble has been premature in placing 130th AS marks on a/c that have been IDed with 167th AS marks leads me to believe that some of the 167th aircraft will eventually join the 130th AS machines. They usually have their info straight.

By the way, I read a BRAC 2005 update (URL below) yesterday which states that the recommendation to move the eight 130th AS C-130Hs to Pope has been shelved and an eight machine unit will continue to be based out of CRW.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/yeager.htm

Now having said all that, does anyone have any frequencies for the 130th AS?

Best regards,

Tony [currently planning a trip to CRW]

It struck me as funny too! From reading the 167th's "Newspaper" it seems like all the C-130s were supposed to have been gone in Feb. I wonder if they just haven't repainted the Aircraft yet?
