       dropping patient"

       Childrens Hospital for the kids to watch, lands
       @ John Tune (KJWN) later 122.7

I thought i would add this one just because of the
nice gesture he did for the kids at the hospital.

       387.0>257.8 (no joy)> 118.6  (departs @ 1520 to
       Pax River)  (BuNo: 163491)

Was totally naked.  No markings whatsoever.  I'm
assuming coming from the Navy Refurb center @ North
Island, hence the DEPOT callsign.

       Martin) W/Atlanta Ctr 270.6>354.05>299.2>

Never gave an exact altitude.  Just said ABOVE FL600.
