Selfridge Airshow is about a week and a half out so the radios should be getting pretty busy starting next Wednesday, a few notable acts are CF-18 Demo Team, USAF Thunderbirds, Golden Knights and USN West Coast Demo Team. There will a B-2 flying over Saturday and a few notable statics are B-52, C-5, 3x EA-18G Growlers, KC-10 and KC-46.

If it is like years prior, Air Boss should be 128.700 unless it changed.

It was a great weekend at the airshow this past weekend.

BANJO81 (B-2 90-0040 Spirit of Alaska) did 3 beautiful passes in front of the crowd then left the airspace and got vectors to Spirit of St. Louis airport as they were flying over there as well.

SKULL31 (B-52 60-0016 Free Bird) should be departing late morning today.

GUCCI31 (KC-10 79-1948) will be departing with local refueler Tuesday afternoon to do a bit of training then probably going back home to Travis.

News broke that the 107th FS will be sundowning at the end of the year so get those A-10’s by the end of the year! Not sure what their replacement will be.

Favor to ask of everyone today- I rearranged my shack over the weekend and my loggings for yesterday on my Milair scanner were unusually lacking. If you hear anyone up today on UHF air, could you let me know either with a post here or a message? Trying to diagnose if I hosed something in the move. Thanks!
