[MilCom] RETRO 25 flight Eastbound

[Ed Langworthy]

Picked up these guys since 0025z

ID as F-16 (x2)

Freqs so far in order of hearing them:
138.000  A-A
282.200  ZBW  Montpelier, VT
307.000  ZBW  Augusta, ME
368.500  ZQM  Yarmouth, NS
270.800  ZQM  Clarendon, NB
368.500  ZQM  (went back to this after 270.800)

0207z  124.300  BLUE 75  working Moncton Center, accepting MARSA with RETRO 25 flight.
0210z  391.000  BLUE 75 and RETRO 25 (x2)  Boom freq.  (Coronet 21 B Primary)

I wonder if these were Vermont F-16s?  They flew right over my location as a two ship with no tanker.
Comms were booming in here and as of 0213z, their A-A of 138.000 is still loud and clear.  As they were
nearing Nova Scotia, they are picked up by BLUE 75 for the crossing.
