Correction: Yesterday, I had the 317th AW and the 315th AW confused and thought that a C-17 going into Hunter AAF may have been Agile Flag related. Now that I realize that I was confusing the two units, the C-17, WEEK 99 is likely not related and the C-130, AEGIS 71 definitely is related. Sorry… Read More Exercise Agile Flag 22-2 at the Savannah CRTC/Air Dominance Center
My road trip for July was an overnight trip from Savannah to Warner Robins to visit the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB. I wanted to see how their B-17G restoration is progressing and see the AC-130 training airframe that they recently acquired. I left on Monday afternoon, stayed overnight in Warner Robins then visited… Read More Warner Robins Overnight Road Trip Radio Report; 4-5 July 2022
For the most part, June was a more normal month that May was (and for some reasons, thankfully so). During June, I took a road trip to Northeast Georgia; although I didn’t hear a lot of MilCom while I was up there, I could hear some traffic in the Bulldog and Gamecock MOAs from up… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; June 2022
So, I lied… I know I said on Twitter that I wouldn’t be doing a May Military Monitoring Recap, but the weather today wasn’t the best so there wasn’t as much to listen to as I was hoping for. Since there wasn’t as much to listen to, I used the time to put a May… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; May 2022
For the second year in a row, I took a road trip to Northeast Georgia for my summer vacation. This year, I stayed in Lavonia on the first night of the trip and then based out of Helen for the rest of the trip. I wandered all through the northeastern corner of the state in… Read More Northeast Georgia Road Trip Radio Report; 6-10 June 2022
The first thing I heard yesterday morning after turning on the radios was DOVE 1 with Jacksonville Center on 126.125. I hadn’t heard DOVE used before, so I started looking up the callsign and checking ADS-B Exchange to see who it might be. While I was doing that, I started hearing more DOVE callsigns with… Read More Saturday Morning Surprise – The Textron Aviation Special Olympics Airlift
I’m getting better each day, but I still tire easily. Last night, a GA ANG Facebook post illuminated what’s been going on with the drops by 165th AW and a contractor aircraft that I’ve been at Fort Stewart and Wright AAF this week: they’re part of SWAMP AVENGER, an exercise at the CRTC/ADC involving 546th… Read More The Quarantine Logs – Quarantining and Recuperating with the Radios; Wednesday 26 May 2022
Another day of Quarantine Logs from Savannah. I’m still not up to talking on the radio, but I enjoyed another day of listening. I also checked into the Georgia DMR net last night through its online portal at NetQSO.com and listened to it. Hunter AAF 124.975/279.575 – Tower -ARMY 26596 (UH-60L, 95-26596, A/2-3 AVN) -ARMY… Read More The Quarantine Logs – Quarantining and Recuperating with the Radios; Wednesday 25 May 2022
For those who don’t know, my parents came down with COVID-19 last week and I took off from work to care for them. Both of them ended up visiting the emergency room and my father stayed in the hospital through Monday. Long story short, I ended up catching COVID-19 as well (it was difficult to… Read More The Quarantine Logs – Quarantining and Recuperating with the Radios; Tuesday, 24 May 2022
Sentry Savannah 2022 has come and gone and it was if not the biggest, one of the biggest since they first started having the exercise back in 2014. In addition to the number of participants, it will also be long remembered for the presence of an F-117 Nighthawk as one of the red air players.… Read More Sentry Savannah 2022 Recap
