Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; August 2022

As some of you may know, July was a rough month away from the radios, so I didn’t post a July recap. August turned out to be a much better month with more opportunities to listen to the radios and those opportunities yielded some excellent listening. August 2022 saw a Bold Quest exercise based out… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; August 2022

Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; May 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

Saturday Morning Surprise – The Textron Aviation Special Olympics Airlift

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

Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap – April 2022

April was a fairly average Military Monitoring month in Coastal Georgia. Nothing in particular stood out except for units beginning to arrive at the Savannah Air Dominance Center at Savannah-Hilton Head IAP for May’s Sentry Savannah exercise. It was also nice to see the B/2-3 AVN CH-47Fs at Hunter AAF begin to use the HOOKER… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap – April 2022
