Time to start talking about the airshow!

About 30 minutes ago, I set my 436HP to use the national DB and only scan Military and Aircraft.

Just heard: "Cleveland Approach, Golden Knight 607..."

Heard several aircraft landing at Burke this evening. At 6:30 p.m. a Raptor requested permission to circle the Air Show air space before preceding to Cleveland (Hopkins) to land.

Hi Frank- Cool to see another old FPO ID number still roaming around. I see you on AlertPage sometimes. Hope things are well up there.

See you,

Day One

Show Control is on 135.875 so far.

The F35 is flying out of Hopkins so those out west may want to monitor 360.600

Still looking for the discrete freq. used by the F 22, P51, and F 35. If anyone finds it, please post.

Large brushfire caused by the pyro today.

Thanks/scanner question

Thanks to all for the updated frequencies. I am going back to the airshow on Monday. Hopefully I will be able to pick up the F22/F35/Mustang with the info you have provided. I know they must have been talking a lot to coordinate all the different join ups and show plans, but I couldn't find them on my scanner.

Here is my scanner question. At first I was picking up the Air Boss on 135.875. Then I went through a period where all I was getting was faint static on 135.875, when I know it was during times that the Air Boss would likely to be talking. Out of frustration I started sweeping, and then I got the Air Boss clearly on 135.8666. My question is, do you think the Air Boss actually started using another freq, or since those freqs are so close together, my scanner is "off" on the tuning just enough to pick it up on the adjacent frequency? I have a Grecom PSR 300. Note-I picked up the Blue Angels Diamond, Solos, tower, and Golden Knights on the exact frequencies listed in the Cleveland Airshow posts.

451.6250 Air Boss & Burke Tower

If you are taking your scanner to the Air Show be sure to check out the Air Show Wiki link that fpo701 posted. I had those freqs in both of my scanners Saturday and didn't miss a beat.

451.6250 carried a lot of traffic that was handled on multiple (STA) freqs in the past. Air Boss & Burke Tower used it often. I would expect it to be even busier on Monday, when acts start departing.
