B-2 Flyover at Rose Parade

[SCPD]

Just saw in today's Los Angeles Times that once again a B-2 stealth bomber will be making a flyover of next Saturday's Tournament of Roses Parade out here in Pasadena.

From looking at past RR posts, I've found the following frequencies that the B-2 has been known to operate on:

B-2 STEALTH BOMBER FREQS
388.88 AIR TO AIR THEY USE CALLSIGNS OF: FURY,CZARH,LEAHI,SPIRIT AND DEATH
388.85 AIR TO AIR
360.80 AIR TO AIR VERY POPULAR
360.85 AIR TO AIR
343.50 AIR TO AIR
323.25 AIR TO AIR
327.60 AIR TO AIR

Are there any other frequencies I should program?

Depending on the direction they come in from,,you may want to program some of the Los Angeles Center freqs both VHF and UHF,plus some of the So Cal Approach stuff,around the Burbank ,Glendale,and Pasadena area.

I`m not sure what LA Center Freq is used over Pasadena,(Could be 132.5/284.7,,not 100% sure),but a search from today until then should warrant the correct stuff.
Thanks for the heads(no pun intended) Up,,will be fun to look (and scan) for while at work

The ATC coordination should be with SoCal on 317.500/135.050.

The info you posted is somewhat outdated...try these:

280.150 (also A/G)
303.000 (common tac)
318.050 (also A/G)
341.750
388.850

BAT
DEATH
DRAGO (past Rose Bowl flyover)
FURY
LINDY
REAPER
SPIRIT
TIGER

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a summary of the 2009 flyover for the actual game (via posts on SoCal Milcom):
SPIRIT 11 (primary) and 12 (backup), SKEETER (FAC)

263.000 ZLA Lebec, to Palmdale > 284.700 ZLA Palmdale, to hold point over Burbank > 349.000 SoCal Approach (Empire Area/Pomona Sector) > 317.500 SoCal Approach (San Diego Area/South Bay Sector)

282.800 coordination with FAC

I'll have to put those in my scanner. We occasionally get B-2's in AR-633A/B. Thanks!

Extremely jealous! Been a good few years since we last had a B-2 over the UK. Need more of them!

2011 Rosebowl Flyby

Heard the comms for the 2011 Rosebowl flyby on:

298.850 calling SOCAL TRACON
136.975 called wingman over here, & checked in on this freq, not sure why
118.575 with PD1 & 2 asking about traffic & current location of the blimp
119.850 (SOCAL TRACON) holding, and the push in
125.500 (SOCAL TRACON) as he departed east

Callsigns were "DEATH-12", and "REAPER-11" both holding above at 8,500' and 9,500'. Reaper-11 did the actual flyby, and then later joined up with the wingman again to the east at high altitude. Anybody know why only 1 bomber did the flyby, and not the wingman too
