Audio from FRANK01 (Langley AFB F-22) calling, “SPASH ONE”confirming to “HUNTRESS” (Eastern Air Defense Sector “EADS”) that the #ChineseSpyBallon is completely destroyed off the coast of South Carolina today 😎
*Big thanks to 📷Brett728 for sharing pics and 🕵️‍♀️ for the audio!
If this is true, then we have some real ✈️🤓 in high places assigning callsigns
In case you didn’t know what the abbreviation “TOI” stood for…
In case you didn’t what “EADS” meant. Things have changed over the years but basically NORAD divides US airspace into 2 parts. WADS = Western Air Defense Sector, callsign “BIGFOOT” and then you have the Eastern Air Defense Sector, callsign “HUNTRESS”
The Americans along with their Canadian counterparts watch over North American airspace 24/7 identifying aerial threats, It’s like the movie “War Games” but for real. The history of these facilities date back to the Cold War.
This PBS special will give you even further insight as what they do:
It’s important to laugh and this sums up what living in the “South” is like… 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 I wish I was there #ChineseSpyBalloon
Oh boy… now things are getting slightly out of hand 🤦🏻‍♂️
Ok, are we back and feeling good after a long time?

Today’s E-4B NAOC callsign giving a shout out to the 1988 film “Big” 😎 ImageImage
Callsigns in reference to 1980’s movies seem to be the theme this month for the E-4B NAOC “CHUNK85” in reference to the 1985 film “Goonies” and “MCFLY85” in reference to Marty McFly from the 1985 film “Back to the Future” 😊 ImageImageImageImage
The E-4B NAOC 1980’s movie themed callsigns continue today with GOZER84 in reference to Gozer (Sumerian shape-shifting god of destruction) who was the villain in the 1984 film Ghostbusters 👻 ImageImage
