SW Ohio Mode-S/ADS Military Intercepts 1 - 15 May 2013

Since late February I have been using a RTL-SDR R820T Dongle for Mode-S Radar monitoring.
I am using ADSB#, Virtual Radar Server and ADSB Scope into my Acer netbook. I will start posting loggings to the blog here. Please let me know what you think of the format, and if I need to tweak it a little. All Intercepts are from my monitoring position in Southwestern Ohio.

==============================================

KC-135s Staying At Rickenbacker

Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base will continue operating the KC-135 'Supertanker' after Air Force officials decided that  Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire will be host to the new KC-46A refueling aircraft. Despite the efforts of the base and local government officials to be selected, the 121st Air Refueling Wing will keep with the KC-135R for the time being. The 121st ARW can be heard flying on a nearly daily basis on 238.800 and local ATC frequencies.

THE HERCS ARE BACK!

After decisive hard work by Ohio lawmakers, the 179th Airlift Wing at Mansfield was spared the BRAC chopping block and has received a new directive by regaining the C-130H 'Hercules' mission. The four C-27J 'Spartan' aircraft the unit has been flying the past several years will be divested. The first two of eventual eight C-130s arrived at Mansfield-Lahm Air National Guard Base to great fanfare on Friday May 24, 2013.

The two C-130Hs, from the Alaska Air National Guard's 176th Airlift Wing arrived with new tail colors representing their new Ohio home. 82-0054 and 82-0056 landed around 1700 Local Time. One was sporting the state flag of Ohio, the other the Ohio State Buckeyes flag in the tail stripe. The 179th is slated to receive the final and eighth C-130H by June of 2016. The new mission will add 200 new jobs to the Mansfield base.
