Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; July 2024

July was a month with reduced radio time, yet it was still a good month on the radios. Throughout the month, I let Unitrunker run on the Hunter AAF site of the US Army (98D) TRS and it caught a lot of unidentified talkgroups; a lot of them didn't have voice traffic on them, just joins, but it still added to the list of what's there for the system and provides some mysteries to identify in the future. I also connected the scanner I use for listening to Jacksonville and Atlanta ARTCC to ProScan and logged the ATC frequencies it heard; while not all of the frequencies in those sections this month may have military activity, they did have commercial and general aviation activity. Of note this month:

  • HAWK ## flights were again active out of MCAS Beaufort. The callsign is VMFA-533, but they were using VMFAT-501 air-to-air frequencies, so my guess is that they continue to be VMFA-533 pilots training with VMFAT-501 as part of VMFA-533's conversion to the F-35B. 
  • VMFT-402 continued to fly out of MCAS Beaufort as REAPER ## flights in July prior to their reactivation this month. In addition to the air-to-air frequency found in June, what seems to be their Base frequency was found in July.
  • A handful of 169th FW/157th FS F-16CMs went to St Croix and Puerto Rico for a training exercise during July and I was lucky enough to catch them going down and back home with support from a 134th ARW KC-135.
  • I heard several foreign air force flights in July; one of which was a Norwegian P-8 going into NAS Jacksonville. The most interesting one was a rare one for southeast Georgia, the Prime Minister of Israel's plane.
