Runway Maintenance at MCAS Beaufort, Some Squadrons Train out of Savannah

There is runway maintenance on the runway intersection at MCAS Beaufort which prevents the base's F/A-18 Hornets from flying out of the airfield until repairs are completed. As a result, some of the squadrons are temporarily operating out of Savannah IAP.

Aircraft from VMFA-122 (NIKELs), VMFA-251 (TBOLTs), and VMFA-312 (CHECKs) are at Savannah IAP this week. On Sunday, I heard TBOLTs checking in with their Base on 237.000, the Savannah CRTC Ops frequency.
