ARROWs flying Shuttle CAP mission
`````````````````````````````````
It is 10:19am EST (1519z).
"Arrow 01" flight (Eglin F-15Cs) have been up with Huntress on 252.0
all morning. They are flying the Shuttle Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and
accepting various acft target tracks from Huntress.
Arrow 01 flight is up with Miami Ctr ATC on 269.3. They just announced
they are en route from nav fix ATLAS to APOLO to hit the tanker.
"Tanker 21" has been refueling the ARROWs; they are also using 252.0
in comms with NORAD's "Huntress." Huntress just informed Tanker 21
that Tanker 21 will be replacing them and will be on station at 1530z
(10:30am EST).
I live about 10 miles from Launch Pad 39A and will post information
throughout the day on the continuing launch comms, on all of my Email
groups listed below.
