KCHA MilAir Logs

[xlr8]

Here is a list of recent (within the last two weeks) MilAir visitors to either Chattanooga Lovell Field or the KCHA Class 3 Airspace. There are a number of MilAir training and transient flights that take place on a daily basis weekdays conducting either full stop landings, shooting approaches, or touch and goes:

Bullet 1: Unable to confirm, but possibly 1SOW/ 8SOS Hurlburt Field, FL CV-22B???
Bobcat 31: 1FW/ 27FS-94FS JB Langley-Eustis, VA F-22A
Cobb 31 (and lots of other Cobb acft.): 94AW/ 700AS Dobbins ARB, GA C-130H
Copter 8: Unknown (may not be MilAir)
Congo 44: (many Congo acft. daily): 479FTG/ 455FTS NAS Pensacola, FL T-6A Texan and/or T-1A BeechJet
Hunter 72: 1SOW/ 319SOS Hurlburt Field, FL U-28A/PC-12 - This is a new one to the KCHA airspace (at least to me)
Pride 04, 33, 44: 14FTW/ 48FTS-50FTS Columbus AFB, MS T-1A BeechJet
Fixer 55: Lockheed-Martin C-130 Test Acft., Dobbins ARB, GA (Lockheed seems to bring new production C-130s to KCHA for pattern work/touch and goes prior to customer delivery)

Good to know - I haven't seen or heard any of the T-38 units in the KCHA airspace. The T-45 Goshawks from NAS Meridian would make better sense. I have both seen and heard the T-45s from my weekday monitoring location. Currently, we do see and hear a lot of the T-6 Texan IIs from Pensacola NAS in the area.

Thanks for the clarification!
