Quite often the military helicopters fly along 127. I've got an old scanner I would like to dedicate to Milair to hear them. Are there some standard freqs I can enter to maybe hear them?

When 58 was done doing an AR with 56. 58 wanted to do a position change. 56 came back & asked him if he was going to brief everyone on what he was going to do. Because 2 of them were at the same altitude. 56 asked him again if he was going to brief up what he was going to do. I don't remember the answer.

While I was listening to these guys. I was working on a plastic tank model. I was trying to put this one small piece together and I dropped it on the floor. I still haven't found that damn thing. I went spelunking under my bed earlier today and didn't find it.😃 I will find it eventually.

While out & about. I heard 2 A-10's come home around 04:00pm on 120.150 MTC twr. They were barely readable so I didn't catch a call sign.

Just before noon. 2 MTC tankers went up to AR-632B 238.900 to refuel someone? Then one of them departed the area for HILLTOP MOA to probably refuel Fort Wayne F-16's. Did not hear any of it on the scanners.

I’d have to check, I had good copy on the Fort Wayne F-16s on SNAKEPIT OPS. I’ll have to check the freuqency, think it was 289.something.

Thanks Jared. I heard it at my desk, but didn't have a chance to dig into it. That's the one! Glad I have a job where I can scan/jam to pandora while I'm working.
