Visitors at Savannah CRTC

Aircraft from two visiting units are at the Savannah CRTC this week. F-16s from the 64th AGRS Agressor Squadron and A-10s from the 47th Fighter Squadron at Barksdale are working out of the CRTC.

The 64th AGRS F-16s are using the callsigns MIG and IVAN. 142.600 and 142.700 have been used for the air-to-air frequencies. 142.700 is one of the air-to-air frequencies used by units visiting the CRTC but I don't know about 142.600. They've been working with AWACS and NORAD for intercepts against the FL ANG F-15s out of Jacksonville in the offshore warning areas on 293.600, 316.300 and 139.700.

The 47th FS A-10s are using the callsigns SWINE 71/72 and SWINE 73/74. Their air-to-air frequencies have been 140.500 and 141.150 and they've used 237.000 to report into the their Ops. 140.500 and 141.150 are frequencies used by units visiting the CRTC and 237.000 is the CRTC CP frequency, regularly used by visiting units for their squadron ops. They've been working with JTACs using the callsign ADVANCE at Townsend Range on 228.400 and 252.900.
