[Mac McCormick III]

Due to good VHF conditions, I was able to hear USCG Group
Mayport, FL very good this morning and tonight and caught
both sides of traffic with them and Air Station Savannah a/c.

I caught two interesting catches on Townsend Range freqs
today.  First, a P-51D Mustang N6320T worked some passes
at the range.  Second, a DHS aircraft ID'd an aircraft that passed
through the Range's restricted while it was hot, with the DHS
aircraft coming up on Range Control's frequency.  For info on the
Mustang that worked at Townsend, check out:
