WTOC Flies With JSTARS

WTOC flew with the 116th Air Control Wing yesterday and ran a nice story on their 11 O'Clock News. There is a story and some video at: http://www.wtoc.com/Global/story.asp?S=6528258

I heard PEACH 05, one of the JSTARS aircraft, up yesterday afternoon with CRTC Ops on 237.000. There was also some encrypted activity on JSTARS discretes and some work with ADVANCE (a Joint Terminal Attack Controller) with JSTARS simulating some A-10s on a JSTARS discrete. I strongly suspect that activity was the mission that WTOC flew on.

237.000 - CRTC Ops, 116th ACW PEACHTREE OPS
355.250 - JSTARS Discrete
388.225 - JSTARS Discrete
