>From the South:

14:03Z
102 FW (Otis F-15) in W-105
Cajun flt of 4 ACM exercise
Cajun 1-2-3 vs:  Cajun 3 (bandit)

259.9      Cajun air-air
300.125  Cajun 1-2-3 tactical
300.525  Cajun 3 tactical
290.3      ZBW

262.0      Cape Ops (Cajun flt w/acft codes)
284.6      Cape APP
294.7      Otis Tower

This exercise started out  as a 3 on 1 with Cajun 03 being
the striker, however, after a couple of high G turns Cajun 03
developed a substantial fuel venting problem and had to RTB.
Remainder of the exercise was broken up into a series of 1v1 
intercepts.


15:10Z
102 FW (Otis F-15)    *** Active Air Scramble ***
Slam 31-32

259.6   Slam air-air
228.9   Slam - Huntress
260.9   Track 66 - Slam 31
290.3   ZBW
338.1   Giant Killer - Track 66

Military hunting their own !!!

Seems that a "Track 66" flt lost contact with ATC over the
water somewhere east of JFK.  As they headed northward
they became a "Violation Of Airspace" target and the F-15's 
were scrambled out of Otis ANGB.   Slam 31 and Track 66 
managed to establish comms on 260.9, Slam 31 directed 
Track 66 to Giant Killer on 338.1 where he established
routing back to Andrews AFB. 
If I'm not mistaken, Track 66 is a C-21 out of Andrews AFB

Also, heard Track 32 with GK, not sure if "Track" was a flt of 2
or if Track 66 changed his callsign heading south

After the photo session they headed over to Yankee II,
sounded like they set up in the Waterville Valley area.
