1145 local Herky-37 C-130J 04-3142 with Dover CP 349.400 passing by.
Wanted to post our 1447 departure time into G2 as we happened to hear you with RCH on this freq
which is the same CP as we use at Little Rock... Looks like HKY-37 departed from Hanscom Mass on this leg towards Texas.
I think Travis AFB also uses 349.400 as their CP freq.

Prob will depart to Albuquerque for next leg after crew rest.

Here are those U-28A's some of you logged up in New England last week at Rota.
