Hey splash, hope things are going well. I'm headed to the airshow in Waterloo this weekend. Any hints on frequencies to be listening to? Especially 118-174. I can't get 200-400 as of now.

[Hawkeye242]

Yes was VERY busy...was looking up all day at work because the last few days AR318 has been very active. This morning over 20 mins worth of coms, both A2A between the B-2's, Reaper 12 and Death 11, and on the refueling primary from Harley 51 (Wisconsin ANG KC-135)....later another B-2 arrives Reaper 13 and after taking fuel performs a practice emergency break away. There where a few other callsigns and a lot of other coms between them all that i am still going through. Also Howard MOA just had a NOTAM released and will be going active again at 0100z

"Main 35" and "Okie 31" (E-4) used the secondary and another block to do there refueling due to the double book
