Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

Based on news reports - only the Thunderbirds were delayed - the last performer before them - did his routine.

Thunderbirds are considering options for the show but the clouds are causing issues still.....they are discussing the show options on 235.250 and 149.650 (235.250 being primary)

Tuned in now - thanks to you! Appreciate it...

Thanks for your feed, loud and clear here in NL ....

Yes, good audio quality, thanks for providing it

You are welcome - Traverse City High Show is what I heard......sounds like a modified show with both team and solos doing whatever is safe to accomplish without any abort issues. Very interesting listening to them work through the process while airborne - based on observation of weather conditions, sea conditions and other obstructions.

Glad you can listen in ..... team is on 235.250 while it appears solos may be using 149.650

Atlantic City Airshow (the Thunderbird portion) is now over due to termination of the TFR. Team leader reported TFR is over - no more maneuvering.

Working low level over southern Delaware and eastern Maryland (below 1000 feet). May be following VR-1709 for low level VFR work

Thunderbirds are over. Sounded like he said to end it because of visibility. I was only hearing bits and pieces

The TFR ending was the reason (unfortunately) as per radio comms monitored on 235.250

Yes, GYY Gary Airport is used to support and park all aircraft for the Chicago Air & Water Show. ORD & MDW are too busy to handle (in their eyes) such a non-priority and small detail! GYY and all of us have been waiting patiently for the Thunderbird squad!

2000- EDDIE 63 entering PAX area, have not heard who they are going to AR with ?

 

[N4TX]

South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will meet President Biden at Camp David on Friday. Not sure which airport they’ll use. Don’t assume it will be Andrews. For events like this, Dulles sometimes comes into play. Rwy 1L/19R is easy to devote to the VIP aircraft without disrupting normal ops on the other three runways.

Has anyone heard the NASA flights on interplane? They have been quiet coming out of KFFO. Maybe they coordinate once they’re in the right area instead.
