Atlantic City Air Show 2022

[robbinsj2]

Following are some frequencies which I got from the practices today. Note that I was rather distracted so some frequencies were logged without full info on what activity they contained.

Marine Radio - 9 (156.450), 13 (156.650), 16 (156.800), & 83 (157.175) had local activity logged, unknown content so unknown if show related. In past years the exclusion zone was managed on 21 (157.050), I didn't catch anything there today but there wasn't as much watercraft activity as there will be tomorrow.
Airboss - 135.650 & 238.150 (activity on these confirmed, content not 100% confirmed but they've been used for this here before).
Golden Knights aircraft - 123.475 (I didn't see any jumps today)
Beasley/Shipley TI-6 - 136.575
Thunderbirds - 149.650 formation, 235.250 solos. I also got P25-Enc activity on 413.000/$293.

If you're coming then also monitor 123.150 for airshow discrete, I didn't catch it being used today but then there wasn't any sort of narration, PA interconnect, etc. The F/A-18 was here today but I didn't catch anything for it; I missed some others. I don't think the Full Throttle Formation Team practiced.

Great post, I remember the Atlantic City Air Show decades ago. Back when Atlantic City was quite vibrant and relevant.

The way, New Jersey Shore is set up that gave plenty of room for maneuvers that were quite spectacular. Such a long Boardwalk.

I would love to see that air show and I'm right across 195 but as you get older things change. I wonder if they still have the crappy little helicopter tours up and down the shore this summer. That's a contraption I would never.. ride on LOL. Again good post. Thank you.

I'll be trying to pickup stuff from down in Cape May. I was listening to the Thunderbirds constantly on on 149.6500. been somewhat lucky with the antenna in the attc. Listening to the Tower on LiveATC.net

Marine control (managing the watercraft exclusion zone) was on 83A -- 157.715. I didn't catch anything on 21 either day.
Show discrete was 136.575, which included the Beasley/ Shipley TI-6 demonstration and, I think, some comms with Chris Thomas (solo act).
Golden Knights were again on 123.475, they didn't do the second set of jumps (unless I completely missed it?). I have a note that they may have also used 122.850 for something.
Full Throttle Formation Team was on 136.700.
The F/A-18 & Corsair legacy flight coordinated on the airboss VHF channel.
Thunderbirds remained on 149.650 (formation) & 235.250 (solos).
I have a small handful of other close call captures but I wasn't able to verify who it was, or even if it was show-related.

Justin - what happened at the airport? Something about an emergency which halted runway activity, held back some show performers, and which seemed to stress an airborne performer (maybe Beasley who needed to get back to his Mustang?).

I heard activity on the AC airport NJSP channel about one of the airshow aircraft returning for an emergency landing due to a hydraulic problem.
