Having in mind a German role in the real 1944 battle... looks quite fair... :twisted:

Re: Blackbull11-formation

Today (16-SEP-2017, 0805Z) on Adsbexch.:

Code: Select all

BULL01	2100	3601	C30J	14-5802	AE595F		United States
BULL02	2325	3601	C295	024	48D853	PLF	Poland
BULL04	2000	3601			3E8B6F		Germany
BULL03	2075	3601			3E8C0A		Germany
Did they shortened their callsign to "Bull" indeed?

Re: Blackbull11-formation

Thank you very much, Joost!
A bit surprised to learn they used A/A within civil airband range...
Understand both GAF a/c (listed by me) were C-160s (the ones using <142.850>). Thanks!
Anyone for their tails?

Pilotman6012, thank you for your reply! Was trying both UHF and VHF mil bands yesterday. No joy this time, though...

Re: Blackbull11-formation

Thanks!
BTW. Is there any mention in historical literature concerning Market Garden to radio communication on those days of September 1944? Looks like a very interesting subject!...

Thanks!
Where the callsign comes from? Does it have any historical reference to the real Market Garden 1944?

Re: LOG 27-08-2017

Thank you very much Joost! Thought otherwise (Radom>Sliac) due to timing on airshows' programmes and more northern routing at first.
What could be her approx. routing now?
