The Battle Creek Air Show is coming up this holiday weekend. Both the Thunderbirds and Snowbirds will perform on Tuesday, July 4th. See schedule for additional details, as there are some performances on Sunday and Monday:

I have attached a Zip file with my Pro 97 file as well CSV dumps of the channels. (See BTL-Air-Show.zip) If you do not have Win 97, you will at least be able to look at the CSV files to see what all I have programmed. The BTL-Air-Show.csv file anybody can look at with a text editor or open in Excel. This revision worked well last year, but I have made some recent additions. Anybody with recommendations for other frequencies and thoughts and/or questions, let me know.
Breakdown of the banks I have setup:
0 Important
1 Aviation / UHF
2 Air Show / VHF
3 Snowbirds
4 Public Safety
5 ANG Base / Misc
6 FRS / Common
7 Standard Travel
8 Thunderbirds
9 Search & Store
Summary of bank contents:
0: Important conventional frequencies for the airport and immediate area. Also including some federal frequencies: CAP, Customs, DHS, TSA, FAA. Some air ambulance and Skywarn frequencies are included as well.
1: Military aviation frequencies related to the airport (BTL) and ARTCC. With more of a focus on the military ARTCC frequencies in the area.
2: Civil aviation frequencies and comes pre-seeded with the common and/or most likely air show related frequencies.
3: All Snowbird frequencies.
4: Local Public Safety conventional frequencies, mostly related to Battle Creek and Calhoun County SO, EMS, EMA.
5: Air National Guard base operations and some of their aviation frequencies. Also I have the 390 MHz NBFM ISR frequencies (the military's FRS) in this bank.
6: Common and itinerant frequencies: FRS, GMRS, MURS, etc, plus some additional business frequencies.
7: My standard travel bank. Wireless microphones, law enforcement statewide as well as some other mutual aid and emergency type frequencies, including 800 MHz.
8: Previously known and/or reported frequencies for the Thunderbirds.
9: A scratch pad for searching and other finds, plus what I had found in 2005.
I will also have my BCD396T in hand for MPSCS and P25 use, as well as BC246T for dedicated close call searching.
