[MilCom] W.PA - Duke MOA 8/22/06

[David Parana]

All times local (EST)
10:17 RAVEN 1 (A-10 MD ANG) trying to contact Cleveland Center (ZOB) on
291.65.
10:19 RAVEN 1 to STEEL 72 (171st ARW - Pittsburgh)on 259.40 (DUKE
Secondary).
10:20 RAVEN 2 to STEEL 72 on 259.40 asking them to notify ZOB that they are
in the airspace.
10:22 RAVEN reports STEEL is in flight and nose is cold.
10:23 STEEL slowing to 215 for refuelling. (259.40)
10:24 RAVEN 1 is stabilized and ready...cleared to contact (259.40)
10:26 RAVEN 1 disconnects from STEEL. (259.40)
10:27 RAVEN 2 stabilized and ready. (259.40)
10:28 RAVEN 1 asks STEEL what they have painted on their nose.  Must be a
Steelers motif, they said something about TERRIBLE TOWELS.  On a side note,
when the NFL Season starts, these guys always talk about football.  The
Steelers and Ravens are still quite a rivalry.
10:29 RAVEN 2 is done and by 10:31 they're wrapped up.  RAVENS are going to
depart and STEEL 72 is going to stay in the area for about 20 minutes.

And that's about it...another DUKE gas and go.  Man these guys make it sound
so easy, a true testament to their training and professionalism.
