I took a trip to CVG today to do some planespotting. Left very early in the morning and literally almost lost a wheel while driving. Unfortunately, that made me miss most of the cargo departures while I waited to get the car fixed. The rest of the day was mostly Regional Jets...not too exciting. Lots of radio activity, though! Here's what I heard:
