[MilCom] Activity over FL

[AllanStern at aol.com]

     It is 10:13am and we have tankers BOLT 41 (KC-135 from MacDill) and 
DUECE 92 (KC-10 from McGuire) active here.  BOLT 41 is orbiting 28 DME on the 
Homestead 142 radial.  Deuce 92 is orbiting over Avon Park Bombing Range in the 
altitude block FL240-260.
     BOLT is up on 323.1.  DEUCE is up with Avon on 292.2.
     TIGER 11, a single F/A-18D from Beaufort MCAS VMFA(AW)-224 squadron, has 
just arrived at Avon Park Bombing Range and is also up with RedHorse on 276.6.
======================
     It is 10:30am EST and BENGAL 41, a flight of two F/A-18Ds from Beaufort 
MCAS VMFA(AW)-224, has just arrived at Avon Park Bombing Range's Placid MOA. 
They are up on 292.2 with Avon Range Control.
     I am also hearing Homestead F-16s MAKO 11 on Miami Ctr freq 323.1, 
probably to AAR with BOLT 41.
======================
     Looks like there could be a traffic jam over Avon Park today.  We still 
have a bevy of PA-ANG A-10s TDY at Patrick scheduled for the range today, as 
well as  a TDY flight of AV-8B Harriers from Cherry Point.  Yesterday they 
performed in UAV exercises there, so the comms were a bit more unusual than the 
normal strafing-bombing work.
