Blaine,

  I'm not sure it really was Forestry helos.  I mentioned the Forest Fire
activity only because that's what I usually here on this frequency.  That's
why it struck me as odd.

  I did pickup that they were going to Blythe and another in a "407" all the
way to "LA", as in Los Angeles.  I just didn't get enough to ID who they
were, but the base here was definitely listening to the aircraft on the
local TRACON frequency.

  I should have looked up the Atlantic reference, makes sense.

  I'm still guessing that it might be the other guys...

  I'm keeping a close ear to it now :)

Thanks FLANO.

Perhaps it was Forestry helos
enroute to your location. Interesting that they didn't
just use 122.75 or some other rarely used unicom
for a/a, like 123.45. We get a lot of State Forestry
action down here, but hardly any in the way of USFS
stuff. Just not enough "forestry" and mountains down
here, at least around DFW. Most of our stuff is
grassland brush fires. BUT, they can get immense.
Luckily, most cities and counties have a good plan of
action.

There is an Atlantic Air FBO on the field according
to Airnav.
