Wondering if anyone has monitoring any local USCG auxiliary aero operations 
in their geographic area?
Locally I haven't monitored any of these aircraft, but I am located inland)

Information on the program can be found at : 
http://www.auxodept.org/airoperations.htm

Callsign would be  COAST GUARD AUXAIR XXXX (XXXX =aircraft type & tail #) 
on ATC freqs & VHF FM freq would be abbreviated to AUXAIR XXXX

Last year at the Westfield (MA)  International Airshow  there were 2 static 
displays of USCG aux aircraft
Perhaps at this year's show http://2006westfieldairshow.org/  they will be 
some static displays.

Unlike Civil Air Patrol (which has a non profit corporation, owns aircraft), 
USCG Aux aircraft are actually
owned by the members.

I also got the impression that CAP & USCG Auxiliary personnel might perform 
joint missions.  (e.g. CAP provides aircraft & pilot, aux provides the 
observer)???
