Media and incident reporting service describing a confrontation at the FBI Cincinnati field office, followed by a pursuit and crash on I-71, with a suspect firing a rifle. SWAT responding.
When these types of things happen you'll have admins or curious people tune in that have the ability. The last chase I could hear on I-75 was broadcast in Columbus because they had those groups tuned in at dispatch. It could cause a strain on the system doing that. My source was on his way home listening on his portable. I don't mind as I'm curious too.Someone in my county must have switched over to the channel to hear whats going on...I'm on the other side of the state from where it's happening. Sounds like an FBI sniper shot him and possibly a female with a knife so this is about to wrap up I guess.
I'd like to see todays stats on how many calls were denied due to busies because of all the people listening to the incident. I bet it's a not-zero number.When these types of things happen you'll have admins or curious people tune in that have the ability.

The OSHP helicopter (N72HP) said the Caravan (N717HP) is going to refuel at Wilmington. They’re up with KILN Tower 119.475. Helicopter will refuel once the Caravan returns on station.
CAREFLIGHT 1 (N164CF) is also staged at KILN if they need it.
Catch the FBI tail number?
"FBI Air 500" 9400222
I don’t think they had anything airborne - probably were riding in the OSHP aircraft or helicopter from what I was hearing. Or perhaps they had a drone working.
They did.
Call sign was “FBI Air”
Radio ID was 9400222
Wondering if anyone caught the tail number?
I was too late to ADS-B.
They were a lot less polished and professional compared to the OSHP aviation pilots that do this kind of stuff every day and were familiar with the airspace and the event site
Going to FOIA all the surrounding radar data, just curious if anyone caught the registration?
The helicopter was N72HP a AS-350
The plane was N717HP a C208
Both are registered to the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Did you hear the third aircraft on 123.025 or with TRACON? I was monitoring those and only heard the OSHP aircraft.There was a third aircraft.
They coordinated with N717HP & N72HP on MARCS & 123.025, they made calls to Cincinnati and Columbus approach re: TFR after media drone activity. On MARCS they used the call sign “FBI AIR”

Just because you didn't hear them doesn't mean they wasn't up in the air. I saw three different radio id's on marcs when the fbi was talking. 9400220 9400221 9400222. I copied some of what the others were saying and thee fbi did have at least one chopper or aircraft in the air. Can you not accept the fact the others are right and you are wrong!!!Didn’t see anything on ADS-B and no Mode-C tracks, either. With two aircraft already in the stack, my money is still on a drone. If it was an FBI aircraft, they’d typically be using KONA or JENA.
