[MilCom] RE: [Scan-DC] New 99th AS Callsign

Hi,

More likely they were using the tacan to assist with the joinn up in a
similar way that is done with air refueling rather than for a natter.

Subject: [Scan-DC] New 99th AS Callsign


All,

Today, in the 0900 hour (EDT) had Mafia 74 and an unidentified Venus
aircraft 
up in A-A chat on 142.75 AM.  This is normally the Venus Control freq at

Andrews so they were probably using it as an A-A since it's one of their
pre-sets.

The Venus aircraft was coordinating their navigational routes with Mafia
74. 
In their chat Venus asked Mafia 74 to use Tacan 92X as an A-A freq
instead of 
92Y, which they didn't have. Mafia 74 was trailing the Venus aircraft
about 5 
miles to his right and about 4,000 ft lower in altitude.

This is the first time I've heard the Mafia callsign used by Andrews 
aircraft. Must be a new 99th AS call. 

Anyone have the freqs for 92X & 92Y so I could plug them in my scanner
just 
in case.
