NOBLE-12 chatting about how he got finally hired into the Bama Guard originally for C-130's
after applying all over with various units.
Seems Bama Guard has pilots from all over the US. This guy originally from Minot ND.

Gave tail 86-0341. That comes back as F-16C-30 from Alabama 100th FS

Witnessed this right over the house in SJ. Sure is a little nosier when they’re trying to catch up!

I know one was talking about a bad radio earlier. Must be why I'm not hearing him, only hearing the guy that was also in special ops.

KILLER 1 (x2) 131st FS/104th FW F-15s preparing to enter the Viper Airspace, A-A on 259.900.

KILLER 1 will work the Viper for the next 15 minutes. One pilot reported some sort of failure, got it fixed but is hoping it doesn’t happen again.

This must be the incident the pilot is now chatting about.
Sounds like he was a JTAC.

Sunday morn viewing a crash recreation of PR C-130 a few years ago.. Investigators always say accidents like this are
combination of several mistakes. This flight sure fit that narrative.
Have heard local De ANG C-130's inbound with engine out and aircraft handles fine into landing though
they do roll out the firetrucks just in case.

NOBLE-11 on their A/A 277.450 says tanker NICE-08 in the blocks Boom freq is 245.05.. Maybe he misread that or
they changed freq from 247.050. Tanker just up on 247.050.. oops. See if they figure it out.
0951 NICE-07 up on Pitts CP aka Steel Control 311.000

Nice and quiet again.. That TOI chase by NOBLE-1 was something else. Sounded like he was coming out
of the woods by me or landing.. See if this makes the local news.. Pretty rural here so maybe not.
I got to run and get new car battery as it just quit stone cold dead in my car yesterday.. Battery charger doesn't seem to budge it.

I think they get confused sometimes and do not double check with Huntress on the freq confirmation.
