It is suspected the F-15's may have a discrete air to air chat frequency assigned by pairs of aircraft. They have two UHF radios. One is normally tuned to WINDY CITY and the other to UNTOUCHABLES, so they have to leave one to chat on discrete. 305.450 was used extensively last night. They sometimes chat about radar track (targets) but they are mostly exchanging their track data via Link 16.
