[MilCom] Morning activity

[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is Wed, 11:28am EDT (1528z).
  A short while ago Patrick C-130 "King 70" departed Patrick AFB,  cleared to 
KCEW (Crestview); although Ground read the destination as KCEW, I  think that 
Crewstview may only be a waypoint, and the destination might be Moody  AFB or 
one of the panhandle bases.  Maybe someone will hear him approaching  and 
find out the answer.
  Upon departure, King 70 had comms with Patrick's "Beach Ops" on  311.0.  
For the past couple of months, Beach Ops has been active on that  freq; some 
acft still contact Base Ops on 372.2.  Not sure what the  function of Beach Ops 
is yet.  His handoff sequence was 133.75,  132.65, 124.8, 134.0.
  At about the same time King 70 departed here, FAB 61, a C-130 of the  
Bolivian Air Force, landed at Patrick on one of his frequent visits here.   
Typically he will leave here this afternoon and head to Opa Locka A/p.   Inbound 
freqs were 132.65, 133.75.
  At the moment NASA 956, a T-38, is landing at Cape Canaveral AFS; he  was 
just handed off to the CCAFS tower on 118.625.  
  NASA 4 was also aloft.
  Jacksonville NAS VP-5 P-3C "Madfox 04" is working offshore.
  Also USAF contractor flight "Air Transport 540" arrived at Patrick  from 
downrange visits; used VHF ATC freqs as usual.
