Ok, two days in a row so i'll stop whining now. 
Although we're still not up to par with other civil
airports but anyhow i'll get off the soapbox. 
VMAT-203 is having a little fun with their callsigns
today.

0815:  NAVY JM-342 (???) W/Memphis Ctr 127.975>342.25
       (UHF radio check per Center)>127.975

1035:  ASCOT 7400 (MRA4 Nimrod, BAE Systems) departs
       Nashville (KBNA) 118.6>119.35>, Memphis Ctr
       133.85>133.65  (returns @ 1448)

1500:  DUDE 41 x 2 (AV-8B, VMAT-203, Cherry Point)
       lands Nashville (KBNA) 387.0>257.8  (RON)
       (BuNo, DUDE 41: #164141/KD-31)
       (BuNo, DUDE 42: #164152/KD-30)

1510:  STUD 11 x 2 (AV-8B, VMAT-203, Cherry Point)
       lands Nashville (KBNA) 387.0>257.8  (RON)
       (BuNo, STUD 11: #163863/KD-29)

       lands Nashville (KBNA) 387.0>257.8  (RON)
       (BuNo, FAROUT 1: #164122/KD-14)
       (BuNo, FAROUT 2: #163860/KD-16)

1545:  SNIPER 11 (CF-188B, 410Sq, Cold Lake) lands
       Nashville (KBNA) from Navy Key West 118.4>118.6
       (departs @ 1930 as a flight of two to Navy Key
       West)

Came back up with a mechanic to fix the lesser broke
Hornet.  ((Serial, SNIPER 11: #188910 (inbound a/c))
         ((Serial, SNIPER 12: #188916 (repaired a/c))


The CO jet is still here with a shredded tire and it
looks ugly.  Will proably be a static display at KBNA
for some time.  Not only bad tires but bent struts as
well.  Must have been a real hard landing.  Serial is
#188719.
