I seen where they are having a heritage flight. If you haven't seen one of these, you are in for a treat. Those frequencies are...

Heritage Flight (F-15/F-16/F-86/P-51) 132.950 136.575


Hope this helps, have fun.

The Blue angels are funny to listen to. When I heard them last weekend, whoever the leader was was like: "Puuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllll give it some more Puuuuuuullllllllllllllllllllllll, and a little more power!!!!!" as they missed each other by 10 feet going 300mph!!!

He was so lackadasical risking their lives it was awesome!!!

Let me know if they sounded like that!!

Don't mean to rain on your parade FPO703 but you gave him the Thunderbirds freqs. The Blues do not use victor freqs during their performances. Last July 2005 I confirmed these at the Pensacola Beach airshow:

284.25 Solos/Diamond/Delta (Show Center ie; in front of the crowd)
275.35 Diamond Formation (Behind the Crowd)
265.55 Solos (Behind the Crowd) also MO critiquing maneauvers.
305.50 Fat Albert (C-130)

How they skip freqs from behind to show center still baffles me. They might use these or they might not, the Blues seem to use deifferent freqs depending on location. Plug in the one's listed above my post and just weed them out. They will use at least 3 different freqs during the show, excluding Fat Albert. If you go on Saturday a report Sat night would be good. I'm going Sunday.

Almost forgot. You asked about the Snowbirds. Try 272.1 that seems to be the primary for them. All 9 planes use it. I don't think there are others.

 

[CORN]

i'll get this right eventually 265.55 should be 264.55 for the Solos behind the crowd.

At Brunswick NAS, Maine a couple of weeks ago Blue Angels used:

139.8125 - ground
305.5 - Fat Albert
346.5 - taxi
237.8 - solos
275.35 - diamond
284.25 - show center

Enjoy!

I was watching them Last weekend, I don't know which freqs were used, thanks to my 396 all i saw was the Alpha tags, but I promise I heard just about every comm from them....

What day did you go, Rick? It definitely was a good show. I would probably rank it right up there with Dayton 2003 (4 day powered flight extravaganza) with the two flight teams, Mil TAC demos and a mix of aerobatics it was real fun.

airshow freqs

...after some research, i have come up empty on freqs. for some exibition teams that will be in my area Oct 28-29. If someone has seen these performers, any info would be appreciated: USN F-18 Hornet Demo Team(East), C-47 Airborne Demo Team.
Also on disply will be a "mass tactical air assault" by the 82nd. I have a PRO-97 with Signal StalkerII, is this my best bet? If so ,I will post freqs. after the show. Thanks for any help!

You might be better off just putting the radio in search mode.
