Check out the following website for do's and don'ts at this airshow, and how to get on base - http://www.dmairshow.com/

As a courtesy to those with the PRO-96 and PRO-97 radios, I've built a file for each radio which I'll be using at the show.

Unfortunately, this year I will miss the practice airshow on 16 March, and will not be able to attend the 17 March show. So, it's up to you attendees to report which frequencies are active, and any new ones of course

I will be attending the show on the 18th, so looking forward to good reports....

I've had serious problems photographing DM airshows because the afternoon sun is in my face. Last Friday I shot the Blues practice from the dirt area outside the base north of the old hanger, between the runway centerline and Golf Links. The sun was at my back and the Blues were directly overhead.
