APPLE seems to be a new callsign used by the VTANG 158FW/134FS. Heard it used for the first time around a week ago when they were working in the Viper airspace. Don't hear them out your way very often. Thanks for the report.

I keep smelling smoke in my room. I can't tell if it's Detroit smoke, or Canadian wildfire smoke! 😃

At a minimum. I checked yesterday, they started @ $199.

I only looked at the first page that prices started at $129. Your right though, the only tickets left are the $199 for Sunday. How many people can you stuff into a 2005 Impala, & charge them $50 bucks each. 😃

Chuck still in Smokey Detroit.

Anyone know what Yankee Airforce Operations is using? I've heard their radio system mentioned on MPSCS a couple times. They used to use 154.570 back in the day but I don't think they are there anymore.
