I will be spending this whole week at the Yuma airport working on a project. I will have my scanner with me and monitoring the clearances and callsigns that are used there by the harriers and the visiting fighters and what not. If anyone wants any info or wants me to look into anything let me know. If I could just find a good ai harrier I would work on this package for sure. As for now I will be collecting info.

Ok well so far I have found out some very useful things about this Marine base.
1 Callsigns---WAKE, CAT, NIGHTMARE AV-8
2 THe F-5 aggressors the Snipers are very active. Performing almost every type of pattern and overhead pattern you will see.
3 The harriers and the F-5s file only VFR to the range(usually the very near adjacents restricted areas)
They fly about a one to one hour and 15 minute mission and the harriers usually role out their landings rather than VTOL, but I have seen a few VTOLs.
4 The controllers are so used to dealing with these guys that it is hard to decypher the quick radio communications.
5 This week I have only seen one transient which was a KC-130 from Miramar. oh yeah and an Antonov-124.
Hope this helps...more to follow..........

I have my own package for this, with an AFCAD that I need to bounce off one my my VA members who is stationed there. Don't forget the C-12's, and the UH-1N's.

I'm using K. Ito's AV-8 set up for AI, and although I have just about every VMA squadron texture, its not a true AI bird and I have FPS hits. No luck on a freeware Harrier as of yet.

For callsigns, I would go with :

VMA-211 WAKE
VMA-214 BLACKSHEEP, RAM, SHEEP
VMA-311 CAT, DRIVER
VMA-513 NIGHTMARE
VMFT-401 SNIPER

good luck with your project.
