Moody AFB A-10s Increase Activity at Townsend Range

A-10s from the 23rd Wing at Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA have become frequent visitors to Townsend Range in the last few months. The increase in A-10 activity correlates to the increasing number of A-10s that arrived at Moody from their former home base of Pope AFB. That move is now supposed to be complete, although I understand that the number of A-10s at Moody will be fluctuating due to aircraft being upgraded to A-10C standards.

Unfortunately I have not been able to ascertain which squadron the A-10s have belonged to as they have worked at Townsend, but I have begun a callsign and frequency listing for the 23rd Wing A-10s:
