[MilCom] VFA/VMFA 125 Frequencies/IFE

[Brian Scott]

Thanks Al and Radio Man for the help with VFA-125 frequencies.

I'm not sure about this one, but RAIDER 83 and KNIGHT ## came up on
"TAC/Squadron Common" during an IFE in the exercise going on in the DFW
area.  I don't know if this was a RAIDER or KNIGHT channel though?  The
VFA-125 RADER a/c (F/A-18) had some serious problems when one of his engines
had trouble and smoke started coming from it.  He had a "hyd 1 & 2 failure
indicator" come on and started losing control of the joystick   During the
flight back to NAS Ft Worth (KNIGHT was acting as the chase a/c), RAIDER 83
started having troubles with controlling the a/c and could not keep it
straight or level.

Thankfully, RAIDER 83 landed safely and even taxied to the VFA-201 line
without any help.

Anyone have any ideas on who uses 315.4 and what other frequencies the
KNIGHT squadron uses (and for that matter, which squadron the KNIGHTs are
from)?

I have an _old_ log that shows them using 319.3. Was that in error?
Thanks.
