I am cleaning up my lists for submission to update the database, and I have some questions that maybe someone reading here, can answer.
Ref SPIDER and SKULL. I assume these were "Callsigns" assigned to the Fighter Wings. If correct, is it still true? What about "PANTHER"?
Ref MOC/MOCK. Who/what is it?
Anyone know of a map that shows the locations out at the Test Range (WIG, DITTO, WILDCAT, OASIS, ect)?

That should do it for the moment.

As far as the 388th Fighter Wing squadrons go,
you can find some information at these sites:
*
The 4th Fighter Squadron (4 FS) "Fighting Fuujins"
is part of the 388th Fighter Wing at Hill Air Force Base,
I have asked, and nobody knows what a "Fighting Fuujin" is.
Although "Fighting Fuujins" is official, they still go
by their WWII designation: skull.
*
The 466th FS (AF Reserves) are the Diamondbacks.
So any callsigns related to snakes, i.e. Viper are theirs.
MOC = Maintenance Operations Center
*
More: during exercises you may hear:
DIM Count.
DIM = Dead, Injured, Missing

BORTA = Base Opeational Readiness Trainng Area
A bivouac area on HAFB

UTTR:
HAG = Helicopter Air Ground training area.
A small village in the hills with Mosque, Hospital, & other buildings.
GAT = Ground Attack Training area

Using Publicly available maps:
40.31556, -113.06517 Wig Mtn
40.47846, -113.29583 Wildcat Mtn
40.51929, -113.34299 Kittycat Mtn
40.36887, -113.00294 Cedar Mtn
40.36805, -113.00122 Transmitter site at the end of road
40.99012, -113.13504 note the name of the road. Follow it north.
40.85921, -112.91373 Follow Puddle Valley Hwy north.
In Box Elder County, it makes a Y. 3rd St leads to Oasis.
Ditto: An AF compound located within Dugway PG,
coordinates unknown.
