Pacific Air Show

With the Pacific Air Show coming up in Huntington Beach soon, I wanted to get some info on frequencies to listen to while I am down there. I did a search for past posts but they are several years old. Thanks, Scott

The FCC server says "Internal Server Failure. Cannot Continue." How apropos.

Yep, some days it's a crap-shoot.

Looks like it'll be a 3-rptr Cap+ system with 5 simplex on the side

I received an email today from the Pacific Air Show that due to the government shut down, any US Military assets will not be able to participate in this years event! That's very unfortunate!

And where do the RAF, CAF, and other foreign mil fly out of? Is non-emergency DoD support, like KSLI (Los Alamitos), available?

Looking at the diff of performers between Sep 24 and today, the following have been removed:

• C-130J Water Bomber Hollywood Guard
• German Air Force A400M Demo (DE)
• Louisiana Air National Guard Bayou Militia F-15s
• NORAD Interdiction Demo
• US Air Force C-17 West Coast Demo Team
• US Air Force F-35A Demo
• US Air Force KC-135 Demo Team
• US Air Force Thunderbirds
• US Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey Demo
• US Navy EA-18G Growler Airshow Team

Sad. Some of those tix for RV camping and premium hospitality are thousands of dollars.

I saw something online about the Canadian Snowbirds flying into Los Al to stage. I think a lot of the performers use that field for staging. I wonder if it's closed now?

Air Boss 126.5
Discrete/PA Link 121.05

Air Boss 126.5
Discrete/PA Link 121.05

Correction, 121.05 sounds like just discrete.

134.25 PA link

FYI, I saw Snowbird 5 (Via ADS-B) land at KSLI so they are still able to use that facility apparently.

Snowbirds used:
272.1 Show Box
121.05 Discrete/outside the box coordination
