I have to just sit and listen as I had a stroke and legs don't work too good. Walking at the show would be too far. Being an ex carrier pilot, I would like to go see but searching for the frequencies is fun. The lead planes comms were interesting as he keep saying "power, power" which I guess they were doing rolls. The solo planes were saying to each other when it was time to roll inverted or smoke on. Just cueing when they would start to mix things up abit. I am 9.5 miles from the airport but as soon as the pl;ane gets some height, they come in very clear. The other aircraft used faa calls rather than military calls. As I recall, this was required when operating at a civilian airport though at times we used out militARY tac calls. The controllers seemed to not mind and it was easier for use to remember . Last night a Navy P-8 came in. I woulfd have liked to hear them, probably did but a regular N call just blended in.
