That seems to be a common problem with US Mil.. They experiment and test then try something new etc
and keep falling behind till someone makes up their mind.Places like APG near here and other Army test sites
have been playing with various drones for 20 years yet still are behind.. :(

Maybe help is on the way?

the CAMBER callsign is used for military transport flights.

Anyone remember what callsign these TRANSCOM flights used before they switched it to CAMBER ? I vaguely recall thinking at the time that CAMBER sounded kinda lame compared to the previous one, but now I can't remember what it was ?

Looking back at 2009 logs Civs used the Reach RCH callsigns too.
I remember the Navy E-6's were all showing GOTOFMS on the box :)
Andrews C-21's were always JOSA ##

OMEGA OMNI-10 and BLUE ANGEL-1 chatting A/A on 394.900 Boom freq.
BLUE-ANGEL 4 going to boom.
OMNI says our other tanker is airborne and could you guys hit them on your way back too
so they don't have to dump fuel?
BLUE ANGEL 1 gonna push Pax River freq 305.200 and get clearance back to Pensacola.
BLUE ANGEL-1 says a flight of 7.

Here comes OMEGA-77 out of Cecil Field heading North to meet them.

Will have to add Omega tanker 394.900 as new Boom freq for us here.
OMEGA-77 calling BLUE ANGEL 5 on 394.900. Prob too far off.

GOLD-61 confirmed to Boston Center total of only 2 aircraft as MAZDA-11 a single ship.
0704 Boston tells GOLD-61 to push ZNY 125.925 Oceanic. I guess fuel should be no problem :)
