Hi Joe & List,

I'm not sure who the user of the callsign EASY ## is (I believe a C-130
a/c), but I heard them receiving clearance from NAS Ft. Worth JRB this
morning back to either Memphis or Nashville, TN.  

We had a very late night/early morning arrival of at least 8 Blackhawk
helicopters with one Chinook (after midnight) and then another three or four
C-130s that followed around 3 AM to 5 AM.  There were also a few commercial
airliners (Southwest being one) that landed and did quick turnarounds to
depart over to Dallas Love Field.  I'm not sure if they were carrying ARNG
troops practicing or just what the commercial airliners and ARNG helicopters
were doing?  RAPTOR (not the F-22s or RAPTOR 57) was most likely the
callsign used by the Blackhawks.  But the C-130s were also a mystery
(especially in the early AM at Navy FTW).  This is unusual for Navy FTW to
operate during these hours.  BONE ## (not B-1Bs, definitely C-130s) were the
first flight of C-130s to arrive and I'm guessing (I never caught the
callsign) that the EASY callsign may have been the following a/c.

Hello from Nashville.   New member here.   Here in
Nashville, Tn we don't have much of an opportunity for
great milcomm monitoring like the folks on the coasts
and mid west but BNA is getting a little more military
transit traffic here lately so if i catch any i'll
list 'em.   Good news and bad news though.  Bad news: 
 I work at BNA during peak milcomm monitoring times.  
Good news:  I do work for the FBO (Signature) that the
military flights go to if they don't go to the guard. 
 Well, here's what went on today.   

F/A-18C callsign Wildcat 51 (VFA-131) broke down on
Fri morning so this morning two mechs were airlined in
and around 1100 Wildcat 01 arrived with the parts and
tools in a pod under the left wing.  (Pretty neat)

As they left:  Wildcat 51 and 01 departed BNA around
1230   348.600 Grnd, 257.800 tower, 385.550 for 51 and
317.45 for 01.   51 went west and 01 back to Oceana.

1615 Wildcat 51 returns to BNA for quick turn and back
to NAS Oceana.   Above freqs used.   No air to air do
to being single ship.   Future posts will be a lot
shorter.   Thanks for letting me introduce myself.  

PS anyone have any Ft. Campbell stuff?
