124.025 is one of the Sheppard "Arrival Discreet" frequencies. It was the airboss the past few air shows.
149.650 is one of the many training wing frequencies that are active almost daily.

Thank you for that. On the fly, on the day of I just did a quick search on airnav. I see it now on the RRDB.

149.650 is one of the many training wing frequencies that are active almost daily.

That frequency is in the RRDB for the Thunderbirds too. Probably multiple users across the nation.

AirNav (and FAA data) doesn't have a lot of Sheppard's frequencies. Just the main ATC ones.

The db for Sheppard is all messed up. Look at the alpha tags. Most of them are all the same. There is non-aviation stuff mixed in with the VHF/UHF AM aircraft stuff. Some of the frequencies might be obsolete by now. I haven't checked it in years.

There is more unconfirmed frequencies in the wiki and a link to a USAF order with most of the 20-channel presets.

I think there is a pool of frequencies used by Sheppard, Fort Sill, NASFWJRB and others for the various training routes around here. I think the routes have their own frequencies that are assigned on a daily basis to whoever is flying, like the ones for the refueling tracks but I was never able to figure it out.

I think each squadron at Sheppard might have their own aviation frequencies (also TRS talkgroups) but I was never able to figure that out either.
