Did someone read of the 2 Cougars? 1 in the morning and the 1 in the afternoon.
Also Alouette 3 A-275 was seen in the afternoon.

Cougar = S-440 "Wildcat06" both morning & afternoon
callsign Alouette was "Bluebird23"

[AK01]

From the afternoon recoveries:
Also heared Gold1 which may be an aircontroller

Gold 1 is the code for a preset radiochannel, i believe it was 337.000 in this case, but not sure about that.

337.000 Mhz is RAPCON North.
After takeoff they switched to either Gold1 and Grey1 and I also think these are controllers for the respective sides in the Frisan Flag wargame scenarios.

[Oscar01]

Perhaps bit off topic here, but do we have a freq for Gold1 / Grey1?

Oz

[Elmar]

Gold1 = 242.625
Yellow1 = 376.775
Grey1 = 337.800

HTH,

- 85-0095 should be 85-0096
- EF-18AM C.15-66/12-24 also flew during the morningwave
- I thought the c/s Skimmer was actually Scimitar, but I could be wrong here..

[Spine24]

SKIMMER it is!

It is great fun to see that many pilots of these fast jets are totally aware of us (photo) spotters (and tourists), even during their work 'in the office'.
