[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] Patrick AFB deployment C-130s

[AllanStern at aol.com]

On Wednesday 25 Aug 2010, two Patrick AFB  C-130s departed to TXKF 
(Bermuda) en route to the Horn of Africa.   Members of Patrick AFB's 920th 
Rescue Wing are deploying to the  Somalia-Ethiopia area for two months.
The C-130s  departed Patrick AFB shortly before 11am EDT, using the 
callsigns  "Reach 39" and "Reach 40."  The tail numbers of the aircraft 
were  
64-14855 and 65-0970.
The planes used 303.0 for  air-air comms (they IDd the freq as 
"Winchester"). They also had comms  with "King Ops" on 321.0 MHz, and with 
Patrick's "Barrier Ops" on 311.0  MHz.  
The Patrick AFB birds were later heard  on HF flying from Lajes to 
Sigonella.

NOTE: these aircraft  should not be confused with the flight of Moody AFB  
71RQS C-130s that  were flying to Mildenhall in UK about the same time. 
Those 
Moody AFB  aircraft were using the callsigns "King 982" (65-0982) "King 
983"  (65-0983).
