The line up keeps getting better !!! http://cias.org/lineup.html They said last year was the last we would see of the F-15, but now they've added the F-117 ! Should be a freqin good show.
116.000 ??? I thought air stuff was 118.0 and above. Does your radio go below 118.0 ?mciupa said:Make sure you have these freq's in your scanner.
Air Show / Boss Control - 119.200 & 234.800
Show Radar - 118.000 & 253.100
Public Address Link - 123.600 & 303.800
Snowbirds - 123.325 , 116.000 & 272.100(air-to-air)

You're right !!! I had my 43 in hand at it starts air at 118.0, I just looked at my 46 and it does start at 108-136.975...I totally forgot. And so does the 246, but the Service Search start at 118.0-136.975, so a Custom Search of 108-118 took care of that. Time to re-acquaint myself with some owners manuals !!!mciupa said:Yes, the base has Air from 108.0000 to 136.9750 (AM) and 225.0000 to 399.9875(AM)
the handheld doesn't have any dedicated freq's , I just use one of the Service Scanning(AIR,RAIL,MARINE . . . etc.) banks to search through AIR.
The last time I went to the airshow was in the mid-80's but it was cancelled due to low ceiling. The past few years I've been hanging out by the airport to see them leave/arrive. Less crowded and I can relax in my car. Don't recall 116.0 popping up, just the usual tower, departure, arrivals freqs and the dedicated airshow freqs, I'll try and keep and eyeball or two on the radio.mciupa said:Come to think about it , there is not much talk below 118.000 . I can only think about the ILS Localizers and non-verbal stuff between 108 to 117.9875. If you are going to the AirShow (I'm not) , would you see if 116 is in use ?
Timmy's ??? Tim Hortons ??? You're gonna miss the show cuz of Timmy's ? Team up with a friend or family member and practice calling in sick...to see if you sound believable. "Uuhh...hello boss...(cough)....uuhhmm...I'm not feeling (cough) so good...". You may want to ad lib with some vomiting sounds too !hemi said:Just got hired as a production person{cook} at Tim's.

Check the homepage again, the press releases at the bottom for arrivals of aircrafts. Doesn't say when the F 22/F 117 will be arriving. http://cias.org/
