1-10 AVN Range Activity

This morning the Savannah Morning News ran an article on AH-64Ds from 1-10 AVN training up for a deployment to Iraq: http://savannahnow.com/node/554777

The online article also features photos and videos.

For radio hobbyists, we can catch the AH-64Ds going to and from Hunter AAF and the Fort Stewart ranges. From my location, I lose them after they enter Fort Stewart's airspace due to their low flight level. Stations closer to Fort Stewart may be able to track them farther using Hunter AAF and Fort Stewart frequencies:

124.975 - Hunter AAF Tower
279.575 - Hunter AAF Tower
127.350 - Marne Radio (Fort Stewart)
279.625 - Marne Radio (Fort Stewart)

Listen for ARMY 45###, 57###, and 75### callsigns. They usually ID as AH-64s with Marne Radio when they check in.
