B-2 Saturday flyby

[Mark]

I see the Air Force has scheduled a B-2 triple header flyby this coming Saturday afternoon for Andrews AFB airshow,The Preakness and Millville NJ airshow (where I'll be).Keeps costs down for B-2 to hit all shows in one shot like this coming from Missouri (509BW).
The B-2 operates on UHF exclusively so for you UHF Mil Air fans a good chance to hear them.Normally they also fly an air spare along with single ship that actually does the low aerial pass so listen on their squadron A/A discrete 388.850.

Also the usual area UHF ARTCC approaches like
Baltimore 317.425/251.3500
Wash Ctrs/Potomac appch 360.700,385.400,362.300.
Dover Appch 339.100,359.300
Millville 255.400
Atlantic City appch 385.500,327.1250
WX Metros 344.600,239.800,342.000
and any other regional UHF freqs you can think of.

Usually on airshow runs they use callsign FURY-## but also have been heard called RACCOON,DOOM,CZAR,SPIRIT and many others.

Hey Mark,
Do you have a time by chance? I am right in the middle between Andrews and Pimlico.

:?: Mark I think 251.35 is a typo for 254.35, yes? At least that's what it says in the RRDB, and in all the lists I have here....and there are several milair UHF freqs used in the BWI area from Potomac that should probably also be listed (see the identical message in the Md. forum)

Sorry about that as that is a typo,should read 254.3500

No scheduled time heard here but considering the Preakness goes off around 5:30-6pm guess should be around then or earlier.

Never heard RACCOON, but add DRAGO to that list, they were using it for a flyby in MD 1/19/05. I'd say that DEATH, FURY, and CZAR are the big three for daily operations.

More B-2 freqs:

300.100 509th BW
336.100 air to air
381.100 Button 9 (frequently used)
381.300 Spirit control (frequently used)
388.850 air to air (frequently used)
393.000 air to air

I occasionally get a "fly by" here at home!

Yeah Rgr that have heard DRAGO as that is a generic mil service flyover for funerals and ceremonies at Arlington VA etc.
Heard C-5's and F-16's,Navy,all types use that same callsign when performing for mostly somber occasions.
Thanks for added freqs.guess you have heard some B-2 flyovers out your way..LOL
