[MilCom] Thunderbirds

[Joe Cobb]

Hello all, 

I'm just curious who you guys heard yesterday
afternoon on 143.85 after T-BIRD 8 passed thru?  I was
getting all disapointed that i missed all the planes
together.  However, today at around 1245L i heard
FORCE 82 (I believe it was 82), a KC-10A checking in
with Memphis Center 126.45>118.875>, Indy Ctr 134.675
on AR-203 and he said he was MARSA W/THUNDERBIRD 01
"flight".  I went to 143.85 and heard a2a chatter
between 3 or 4 different players (#3 was a YL).  The
tanker asked "how do you spell your callsign?" then
one voice on 143.85 said "we spell it TBIRD as opposed
to THUNDERBIRD 01 don't we?" then a second voice said
"affirmative boss".

Anyhow boom freq was 238.9

So i am just wondering what's up with 2 days of
multiple T-BIRD catches.  

All comms were between 1230 and 1300L.  Sure has made
for an interesting week.

Joe
Nashville, Tn.
