[MilCom] EXXON 50 comms on 311.0

[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is 5:53pm EST (@@53z).
   EXXON 50, the tanker that has been supporting the operations  of the USS 
Enterprise exercise today was just up with MacDill's Lightning Ops on  311.0. 
Says "Our boom drogue adapter hose had a blowout, the same as happened  
yesterday." [Yesterday I posted my hearing almost exactly same message.] He is  
returning to MacDill with 80,000 pounds of fuel, meaning that he had intended to  
refuel more aircraft; so this might affect what we would have heard from the 
USS  Enterprise aircraft tonight, unless they get another tanker up.
