VFA-201 in the Southeast

F/A-18s from VFA-201 at NAS Fort Worth are currently working on the east coast. I caught them working with F-15s from the 125th Fighter Wing out of Jacksonville IAP and with STEALTH, the 117th ACS at Hunter AAF in the South TACTS Range (SEALORD's airspace).
They were using 319.500 for air-to-air, which I would assume is one of their TAC frequencies and were using the static callsign HUNTER with air traffic control and the tactical callsigns PUCK and TOUGH GUY while fighting with the F-15s.

Based on an email I received from a fellow radio enthusiast in Florida, they could possibly be in the area for a Speedweeks flyover at the Daytona International Speedway.
