October was another great military monitoring month in Coastal Georgia. Hunter AAF and MCAS Beaufort saw several visitors for training. A new USAF aircraft was doing test flights in the area. A new callsign for UAVs training in Fort Stewart’s airspace was identified. An aircraft carrier was working out in the Atlantic off of the east coast. It was quite an active month and I had a bit more radio time than I did the last couple of months. Here are the highlights:

• A 97th AW C-17A and a 133rd AW C-130H were at Hunter AAF for several days doing drops at one of the Fort Stewart Drop Zones.
• HMLA-773 AH-1Zs and UH-1Ys were at Hunter AAF for a week working at the Fort Stewart training areas, the Coastal MOA, and Townsend Range.
• ATAC Hawker Hunters were at MCAS Beaufort working with VMFAT-501.
• The first US Air Force EC-37B has been doing test flights out of the Gulfstream Factory in Savannah under the GULFTEST callsign.
• A Qatari Air Force C-17 went into Joint Base Charleston from St. Louis several days before the new Qatari AF F-15s were delivered; no doubt it was related to the delivery.
• For several months I’ve been hearing UAVs in Fort Stewart’s airspace using a callsign that I thought was SERVICE; it turns out that the callsign is actually CERBERUS (in Greek mythology, a three headed dog that guards the gates of the underworld) and is in use by E/3-17 CAV MQ-1Cs.
• The USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Carrier Strike Group has been working off of the east coast. Although I haven’t been close enough to hear the friendly forces from the Truman (with the exception of its C-2As), I was able to hear some of the contractors providing Red Air forces for the training.
