You might want to start monitoring on Wednesday or Thursday to catch any early arrivals or paractice sessions. There will certainly be a practice show on Friday, before the official evening show.

Does anyone have any frequencies?

I found this thread from last year. And it includes links to previous years as well.

The Blue Angels should be Flying into Salinas again between 2 and 2:30 so keep your eyes to the sky for a special treat we are told.

Those planes should be buzzing your house just south of Salinas and signals should be strong. It will be your job to log in with the new frequencies if any pop up this year...

Look for the formation team on 275.35 and 284.25.

It sounds like they are going over land marks on the ground.
