Line 1: |
| − | Coronet missions are those across the Atlantic/Pacific Oceans that are either delivering new aircraft or flights of aircraft rotating
| |
| − | to/from overseas bases. If they can't make it on their internal fuel load, they are assigned a tanker(s) to fly along with them and
| |
| − | provide fuel.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Those frequencies correspond to the suffix of the flight - such as TABOR 11. First, you look at the suffix. Since
| |
| − | it's 11, their refueling freqs are the A (Alpha) set of freqs. There's a Primary and Secondary freq for the Alpha refueling plan. In the example, TABOR 11 would use the Alpha set of freqs - either 396.2 or 394.6.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A HURON 61 flight would use the Kilo set -- 343.1 or 322.8.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While I'm at it, I'll also repeat the new callsigns for Coronet East (Atlantic Ocean crossing.) The tankers are using CAFE and
| |
| − | CLEAN (old were BLUE and GOLD which seem to still pop up occasionally) and the accompanied aircraft are using HURON and TABOR.
| |
| − | Since I don't hear them, I've not been able to recover the Coronet West (Pacific Ocean) callsigns. The refueling freqs though
| |
| − | apply to both East and West.
