Royal Air Force AWACS in the Area

A Royal Air Force E-3 is in the area this evening. IMAGE 01 is up in the W-157 areas off of the Georgia and Florida coast controlling F-15s from the 125th Fighter Wing at Jacksonville IAP.

The RAF E-3, IMAGE 01, has been up on the following frequencies:

267.500 - SEALORD South Primary
225.800 - AWACS Discrete, controlling FANGs (F-15, 125th FW)
313.600 - AWACS Discrete, controlling SNAKEs, RATTLERs (F-15, 125th FW)
364.200 - NORAD AICC
386.000 - NORAD Discrete?

The Front End/Flight Deck is using the callsign SOLEX 01 and has been up with SEALORD on 120.950. They will RTB to Robins when their work is done, so it sounds like they are working out of Robins AFB this week.

This is a good opportunity to catch a rare visitor the the Coastal Georgia area.
