March 2025 was fascinating military monitoring month. There were a lot of visitors and a lot going on so there was no shortage of something to listen to in Coastal Georgia, Lowcountry South Carolina, and the First Coast of Florida. A road trip to Americus and Plains also gave me an opportunity to do some listening in Central and West Georgia. There was a lot of training going on, with the biggest training operation being the Patriot 25 disaster response exercise, which took place at Savannah-Hilton Head IAP, Fort Stewart, and the Guardian Center in Perry, GA. One of the more interesting catches of the month was a VRM-40 CMV-22B; it was the first time I've caught one of the new carrier logistics mission Ospreys. Foreign air force visitors this month were from the Royal Canadian AF, the Italian AF, the Jordanian Government, the Norwegian AF, and the Royal Air Force (UK).
