[MilCom] Patrick AFB C-130s evacuating to Nashville

[Mike Riffle]

1810 EDT
KING 76 calling Nashville Ops on 322.9. One of the other KINGs decided to
play a joke and answered as if he were Nashville (this was simulcast over
321.0 which the flight was using for a/a). KING 76 eventually caught on when
"Nashville" asked him where they were from and if Patrick AFB was located in
Alabama.
