I caught the tail end of the SAR after eating dinner and before going to
Church this evening.  At the time I wasn't sure if it was a fighter, but I
knew that it was not a drill.  282.800, SAR Common was being used and
413.000, CG 410 was being used.  There were also related comms on 313.800,
VMFA-251 Base and 156.800, Marine VHF Ch. 16.  F/A-18Cs from VMFA-251 and
Coast Guard 6542 were working the SAR; as I walked in the room, the TBOLTs
from VMFA-251 and 6542 were en route to MCAS Beaufort and Sector Charleston
was broadcasting on Ch. 16 that two persons had been recovered.
