Blue Angels and Thunderbirds

[chgomonitor]

This weekend the Blue Angels are at the Rockford air show and the Thunderbirds are at the Quad-Cities air show. Both should be good shows.

So far I've heard the Angels on 284.250 and 346.500. They were reported en-route on 275.350. I also caught some activity on Rockford's 327.000 UHF approach & departure frequency.

A flight of three B2 bombers was cruising the midwest yesterday on 388.850 air to air.

Possible Thunderbirds frequencies include 143.850, 141.850, 235.250 and 322.950. All in AM mode.

Go to the shows, both should be great! What are you hearing show-wise?
