VMFT-401 "SNIPERs" at MCAS Beaufort

VMFT-401, the "SNIPERs" are working out of MCAS Beaufort this week. Their F-5s have been working with F/A-18s from VMFA-122, VMFA(AW)-224, and VMFA(AW)-533 offshore of Georgia and South Carolina. They have been using 228.200 for their Base frequency (which is normally VMFA-312 Base) and 289.275, 299.300, and 348.825 for air-to-air. Those choice of air-to-air frequencies are very interesting indeed, they are Tacs 1 through 3 for VMFA(AW)-533 who are also at home and actively flying!
