       W/Nashville A/D 360.7>, Memphis Ctr 133.85
       (VFR @ 4000 ft, transiting area)

I was getting my hopes up that he was headed to Smyrna
as a static display.  I guess it wasn't meant to be.

1150:  SPORT 1 x 2 (A-10C, 104th FS/175th FW, Martin
       State/MD ANG) lands Nashville (KBNA) 360.7>

       the crowd), 237.8 (Solos, behind the crowd)
       (lands around 1550)

Looks like their freqs are staying pretty consistant
this early season.

1525:  NAVY 1E-069 (TH-57C, HT-18/TAW-5, Whiting Fld)
       departs Nashville (KBNA) VFR 118.6

1850:  BLACKSHEEP 11 x 2 (AV-8B, VMA-214?, Yuma?)
       lands Smyrna (KMQY) 360.7>233.1 

I believe these are the Harrier demo planes but the
kicker is the schedule said USMC East Coast Team is
doing Smyrna and the only BLACKSHEEP (call by sqdn) is
VMA-214 based at Yuma that i know of.  I'm kind of
befuddled on this one.  Can't wait to find out.
