24JUL2018 0036 - 240.35MHz - MASH83 headed to AR633 to do some refueling,  making arrangements with PEACH98 flight.
Mention of several massive storm cells in the area, and asking what kind of training they would like to perform.  Not hearing the PEACH flight yet (he must still be further south).
0042 - hearing PEACH98 now
0044 - more discussion of the storm cells, may decide to go north to AR455 for the training.
0048 - decided to try staying on AR633, remaining on the south side of the cells
0058 - re-evaluating the storms, will take a little fuel and then head north
0103 - contact, taking fuel.  getting ready to make a turn for weather.
0110 - heading north, still making refueling contacts
0118 - asking for 20k lbs before calling it quits
0120 - approaching Lexington as they request disconnect, ATC on 126.375 (Indy Center, relay close to my QTH).  Too bad its cloudy, I would have been able to see them.
0125 - possibly going to continue together on toward Grissom.
0135 - taking more fuel as they approach Cincy. 
0140 - disconnecting, 'thanks for the fun times'.  'standby for off-load report'.  98 getting ready to head back south.
0141 - 'have a good flight back'.

HAVE QUICK timing pulses on 287.450MHz 1725Z 25JUL18
These are emitted by AWACS so other units can synch their freq hoppers. This activity is likely related to the air refueling being set up by unid units on 343.250MHz at the same time, presumably a tanker and AWACS.

Any idea of what they were jamming?  Or was it simply an exercise without "live" jamming?
