No, I was listening to the military Air Band But did not pick up anything, they were probably talking to Buffalo NY tower at one point, but I was not listening to those frequencies.

Their LMR coms will be 100% encrypted. Air band will be civilian, and will be which ever controller the airspace they are operating in is on. If they are in uncontrolled airspace, it's a crap shoot.
