       A/D 387.0>, lands Campbell AAF (KHOP) 269.525>
       278.8  (departs @ 1318)

Asked by Nashville ATC if it was in fact a military
a/c.  Pilot answered yes, came from the Swiss AF to be
used as an adversary.  I imagine with the GRUMMAN
callsign that it just came over and isn't with a unit
just yet. Self id'd as an F-5.

1215:  BERRY 323--(Metroliner, Contractor) lands
       Campbell AAF (KHOP) 134.35>120.9

1218:  MUSIC 81--(C-130H, 105th AS/118th AW, Nash-
       ville/TN ANG) departs to shoot approaches @
       Smyrna (KMQY) 118.6>118.4>118.5  (return later)

1510:  ARMY 61650--(CH-47D, 7-101st AVN, Ft Campbell)

       119.35>, shoots an approach to John C Tune 
       122.7>, then RTB Ft Campbell

1520:  LIGHTNING 1--(??) W/Memphis Ctr 257.75 (FL270)>
       285.5 "down to FL210">, Atlanta Ctr 254.3 "down
       to 11 thousand"

Favored an F-16 or maybe an A-10.  I seriously doubt
what some folks would think just by callsign that this
would be a F-35.  Not in these parts for while i would
think.  Of course no one in these groups would assume,
would we?  

1617:  383.2--Scott CP, JOSA 619 (C-21A, #84-0119)
       (458th AS/375th AW, Scott)

1650:  GUNHOG 1--(A-10A, ????) W/Memphis Ctr 257.75>
       353.5 (decended down to FL210)

1715:  130.65--Scott CP, PAT 986 (no joy)

1718:  383.2--Scott CP, PAT 986 (still no joy)

Made contact W/CP 130.65 @ 1725

1755:  128.75--Eagle Control, CHINOOK 650  "jumpers 
       away!!" 

1813:  130.65--Ft Campbell Ops, EASY 694 "dropping pax
       then departing, no gas needed"

1815:  EASY 694--(C-12?) lands Campbell AAF (KHOP)
       134.35>120.9

Do they use C-12's with this cs?  I know of the
UC-35's.

1845:  130.65--Scott CP, REACH 01--(C-21A) "inbound, 
       need about 1K on the gas"

1950:  295.8--AR-633A/B, SLUFF 62--(KC-135R, 166th 
       ARS/121st ARW, Rickenbacker/OH ANG) conducts AR
