[MilCom] Rhody 38 lucks out

[AllanStern at aol.com]

On Tuesday 14 Oct 2008, I posted this:
     " 'Rhody 38' has just switched from 119.4 (Orlando  Appr) to Patrick 
Tower's 133.75 and is landing.
Earlier he called in to Patrick CP on 311.0 and advised he would be RON and  
requested billeting for crew members.
Rhody 38 is  RI-ANG 143AS C-130J #06-1438 out of Quonset State Airport, RI."
     He arrived at Patrick and RONd and eventually  headed south I think.
     A short while ago, I snagged comms from him as he  was in the air 
northbound.
     He came up with Patrick's "Barrier Ops" on 311.0  and requested that 
they call Tyndall AFB Base Ops on DSN 523-4244 to request an  unscheduled fuel 
stop there at 1430z (9:30am EDT) for 15,000 pounds  fuel.  At first, Tyndall 
refused because they have a 48-hour notice  requirement for fueling.  But just as 
Rhody 58 was passing the Eglin AFB  DSNs 872-5313 and 872-5406 to Barrier Ops 
(and Rhody 58 was quickly getting out  of Patrick's radio range), Tyndall 
agreed to provide a PPR to Rhody 38 for the  fueling.
     Rhody's day turned around as fast as the Boston  Red Sox did last night 
in their ALCS game against the Tampa Rays.  Rhody 58  is having a great Air 
Force day.
