       (A2A and comms W/ground also 289.275)

3 separate units were represented but since the lead
was a 533 bird they used his call of course. 

BuNo's:  MAG-31

#1: 164959/ED-01 (F/A-18D, VMFA(AW)-533, Hawks)
#2: 164883/AB-202 (F/A-18C, VMFA-251, T-bolts)
#3: 163129/DR-200 (F/A-18A+, VMFA-312, Checkerboards)

The gentleman flying number 3 was the CO of MAG-31.  A
full bird Colonel.  I guess the USMC version of a CAG.
