Thursday Morning Mobile Monitoring

This morning, I had several errands to run and did some mobile MilCom monitoring while I was at it.

The F-15s from the 125th Fighter Wing at Jacksonville IAP were working offshore with the NORAD Eastern Air Defense Sector (callsign HUNTRESS). On 293.600, FANG flight was working NORAD vs. SNAKE flight on 316.300.

A JSTARS from Robins AFB, STARGATE, was on 328.025 training with simulated assets. There were long encrypted transmissions on 381.000 which were likely coming from the JSTARS as well.

I got to see a wonderful sight while out and about this morning as well. A C-5 departed Hunter AAF's Runway 10 and began a turn to the north. As it banked into it's turn, condensation streamed from the wings near the wing roots and formed a cloud over the center of the aircraft. What a great photo it would have made had I not been driving!
