3-17 Cav OH-58s at Hunter AAF

Earlier this year, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 10th Mountain Division swapped helicopter units. The 3rd ID swapped 3-3 AVN, now 1-10 AVN (AH-64D) for 10th Mountain's 3-17 Cav (OH-58D).

Last week, I began hearing 3-17 Cav's OH-58Ds flying in the Hunter AAF and Fort Stewart area. They have been using LIGHTHORSE ### and ARMY ##### callsigns with Hunter AAF and Marne Radio at Fort Stewart. The callsigns used so far equate to the following tail numbers:

93-0955

93-0958

95-0005

95-0015

Thanks to a local spotter for help with 93-0955 and 93-0958.

The OH-58Ds have been arranging for fuel with 2-3 AVN Ops on 54.600. Air-to-air traffic has been heard on 51.375.

2-3 AVN and 4-3 AVN Helicopters Return to Hunter AAF

Throughout the late morning and early afternoon, UH-60s and CH-47s from 2-3 AVN and 4-3 AVN have been moving from Georgia Ports, where they have been unloaded from transport ships, to Hunter AAF.

They have been departing the ports on 134.100 with PORT CONTROL and switching to 124.975 with Hunter AAF tower.
