USAF Practice Intercepts

[bryan_herbert]

Unfortunately RR was down most of the day so I wasn't able to post in real time. Someone checked into NTTR this afternoon, advised they would be doing practice intercepts in Elgin MOA, and their working freq would be 364.2. I heard them discussing the exercise on 364.2 'NORAD AICC' and after a few minutes they switched to 271.0 'WADS Primary' to conduct the NORDO and hijack intercepts. Didn't catch any solid callsigns though MAGIC and BADGER were mentioned.

Nobel Eagle

Noble Eagle I spelled it wrong and hate that I can't edit that.

I remember seeing this Air Force Aggressor Squadron Has A Surprising Secondary Mission - The Drive in the rare occasion they ever had to intercept? I don't think there is an Alert Commitment at Nellis? I could be wrong.

Or perhaps the comms were the CA ANG guys from Fresno?
