Not real busy, but a couple of interesting pieces.

372.20:  JOSA-129, (C-21A, CO-ANG), takeoff Colorado Springs enroute Buckley.
121.00:  JOSA-129, (C-21A, CO-ANG), land; then on to Rapid City.
372.20:  JOSA-789, (C-21A), takeoff Colorado Springs.
372.20:  SMOKY-47, (C-21A, Peterson), takeoff Colorado Springs.
275.80:  REDEYE-11, flight of 4, (F-16, Buckley), cleared Cheyenne MOA. (2 
sorties)
275.80:  STUD-21, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), cleared Cheyenne MOA. (2 
sorties)
121.00:  COBRA-47, (??-135, Offutt),  low approaches Buckley; then back to 
Offutt. ((Definitely a 135; just don't know which variant. Saw it from about 10 
miles away))
372.20:  HAWKEYE-81, (F-16, IA-ANG), cancelling PPR for fuel at Buckley. Will 
overfly.
291.675: YANKEE-74, (Unk), doing radio checks with Buckley Tower. ((Sounded 
like a "heavy" rather than A-10))
372.20:  JOSA-979, (C-21A), takeoff Colorado Springs enroute Andrews.
228.45:  SKULL-28, flight of 2, (B-52H, Barksdale), interplane chat about not 
being able to raise anyone for a radio check. Try Purple-19. Sez Offutt is 
trying to get them a phone patch to either Blue Crab or Deerhunter. Finally gets 
pp to Blue Crab on HF. Switch VISA-XXX and also check VISA-XXX. Can't hear 
Blue Crab on either; nor can BC hear them. Decide to coordinate things when they 
get back on the ground; as they can't give the up or downlink freqs over the 
air. DRAT!! ((All this taking place on Buckley Metro freq. Apparently Buckley 
weather guys not hearing it as they never said anything))
291.675: WARPIG-1, (A-10A, Unk), land.
