379.95:  ?SABLE?-52, flight of 2, (Unk), with Denver Center, FL 240. Wants to 
descend to 18,000 and proceed to the entry point for VR-1176. ((When they 
first came up, they were calling themselves ?SABLE? Then it sounded like they 
switched to COBRA callsign. Were low altitude and weak, but they sounded like 
bombers.))
298.40:  GATOR-39, (Unk), with High Country Control. Was going to land at 
Peterson, but has enough fuel to overfly. ((Was a turboprop of some kind))
354.15:  FURY-13, (B-2A, Whiteman), with Denver Center, FL 340. enroute UTTR.
Wants to climb to 360 to dodge some WX but can't due to some engine problems.

257.875: REDEYE-11, flight of 3, (F-16, Buckley), takeoff Colorado Springs, 
playing in Cheyenne MOA; then recover at Buckley.
((What is happening is that Buckley runway and taxiways are being repainted. 
F-16s take off early and recover at the Springs. Then fly a mission out of the 
Springs and recover at Buckley after 1500 local time. Shud be done with all 
that either tomorrow or Saturday.))
