Hearing SURF 11, SURF OPS, on 271.0 mhz, NORAD Blue 15 channel, with air to air chatter at 1400 local. Did not hear them take off as usual, so don;t know if they are coming or going. Started hearing them as BULLDOG flight of A-10's was on final approach.

Turns out it was Coast Guard 6508 doing radio checks with BIGFOOT, probably related to the POTUS visit in a few days. USCG aircraft participate in combat air patrols using callsign MONEY 01, they are fitted with a lighted sign board to communicate with aircraft that will not respond via radio.

271.0 mhz NORAD Blue 15 - Hearing SURF 11, 12, LOBO 81 with BIGFOOT. LOBO 81 advises he is looking for SURF 11 & 12. I heard SURF flight pass over my house to the east, followed by LOBO 81 trying to catch up. Lots of targeting info being passed from BIGFOOT. SURF are the combat air patrol F-16's from March JARB, LOBO 81 is the relief F-16 from South Dakota, unusual to hear all of them all together. QTH is Riverside County, CA.
