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)???
