 Finally some activity.

121.00:  Army Guard helis taking off for Operation Haybales; trying to find 
and feed livestock in snowbound southeastern Colorado. 2 X UH-1's, 2 X OH-58's, 
4 X UH-60's & 1 X CH-47.
284.70:  ?SPORT?-1, (Unk), with Denver Center, Switch 371.85. ((Very weak. 
Couldn't tell whether the callsign was SPORT-1 or SCORP-1))
372.20:  SMOKY-33, (C-21A, Peterson), calling Peterson PTD.
283.75:  SMOKY-33 with SMOKY-22. 22 is heading for Tucson and 33 is returning 
to Peterson with maintenance issues that include losing all of his warning 
lights. ((I suppose that beats having them all come ON at once))
275.80:  STUD-21, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), cleared to Airburst Range. (2 
sorties)
275.80:  REDEYE-11, flight of 4, (F-16, Buckley), cleared to Two Buttes MOA.
253.625: STUD flight working in Airburst. Having trouble making out the 
targets against the snow.
387.15:  REDEYE flight tells Center that they will be working VFR below 
10,000 feet in the Two Buttes area in support of the (blizzard) rescue operations. 
((Hopefully not dropping hay bales. Video of a hay bale hitting a cow at 450 
kts would probably get the ASPCA riled up))
372.20:  JOSA-947, (C-21A), takeoff Colorado Springs.
263.00:  FIRST-11, (F-15/22, Langley), with Denver Center, FL 430.
