Michigan Military Activity

Not military but interesting.

130.650 A/A, calling out speeds, & boards (Speed brakes). Also called for smoke off now. Joker plus 5. Push BTN 1,12:09pm. Only thing I could find was an L-39 in the Howell area, N139VS.

Day 3 of being held hostage by DTE. No power since Thursday around 10:30pm. Neighbors dead tree fell & only took out my power line to the house. Ripped it right off the house. They were here this morning but couldn't do anything because tree limbs still on power line. Now waiting on tree removal crew. They said I have to hire an electrician to install a new service line on the house. 😡 Of course it's easy to hire an electrician on a SUNDAY!!! I'm caring for my elderly mother who can't walk & is in a hospital bed that needs electricity to work.
Nobody from DTE came to my house until Saturday after I called 911 & put up some caution tape. Put a sign on my front door that said. Live power line in backyard don't go back there! I wasn't home at the time. Was getting dry ice at a marijuana dispensary on John R north of 8 Mile. Go in one door you get dope. Go in another door & you get dry ice (not blocks but little pellets). 😃 Sorry. Just needed to vent a little.

Chuck, there was supposed to be (5) L-39s doing the flyover for the Michigan game this coming Saturday (9-2-23), so you may have stumbled upon their A/A freq, good find! The flyover information has been removed from the U of M football promotion webpage, so I don't know if they are still actually doing one or not. I think there are also a bunch of those T-6 Texans that operate out of that area that I have heard on that freq before.
