Tourists spend big bucks for chopper and small plane aerial tours of Niagara Falls.
Military from Canada and US get free pass :)

Funny. I was going to ask what 263.125 but I found it.

They mentioned

349.000 - Niagara Tower UHF (KIAG)

263.125 - Buffalo Approach (KBUF)

What is the "Falls tour" mentioned in the ATC audio.
Tour Helicopters taking tourists for rides along the Niagara Falls escarpment and over the Falls. All day long every day there are two different tour companies doing this.

A bit off topic but in 1980 some friends and I were returning from the Heatwave Festival, a huge concert at the Mosport Park racetrack complex in Ontario. Being totally clueless, after the day-long show we had no hotel planned and couldn't find anything until we got to Niagara Falls. The next day we happened upon Heussler Helicopters, who promised a scenic flight over the falls in what I believe was a Bell 47 - no doors, just the dome. Somehow I got stuck sitting on the outside. We had ascended to where we could see Toronto in the distance when our pilot announced he had flown choppers in Nam and intended to show us what he could do, since we were surely more adventurous than the family types he usually carried. I still have the photograph one of my friends took of me running away from that thing as fast as I could the moment we landed :LOL:

Reach 741 and two other C17s at Martin State this evening.

Weren't there when went out and quick turn around with looked to have hot offload wirh engines running.

Couldn't really monitor or watch the activities with having some family issues to work with today.

So much for me getting a good night sleep! The rumble of the C17 leaving shook the house.

RCH-343 shows KPSM to ETAD Spangdahlem Germany next...
RCH-134 shows Bangor to EGPK Glasgow Scotland next..
A-10's in and out of US do tend to stop at Glasgow and Spang on Altrav occasions.
If Glasgow there will be lots of video posted. Maybe declare a Holiday.. :)
A couple years ago May 2022 the fence line at Glasgow was packed with photogs watching MD A-10's arrive.
Could be last chance to see a large A-10 deployment ever. The Scots love them..
As of an hour ago the back row is still there and a bunch of them with center line tanks so they are going somewhere. RCH866 just took off and another C17 was still over there.

Plus KMTN is getting ready to stop ops in the next couple months to begin the runway project.

Sute had been a busy C17 day the local area. RCH800 up on 349.4 with Dover 15 minutes out with request for 108k fuel and pax transportation. Coming from Andrews.
Was just replaying that inbound message and RCH-800 req pax trans for 10,req 180k of total fuel as have 20k fuel now.

Earlier 2125 local NOBLE-21 flight non-standard inbound A/C on 327.125. Guess they did the Wisconsin and back CAP.

2245 local ZIPPO-71 MC-130J #21-5973 inbound Harrisburg on Baton Ops 395.1000.
These guys seem due for another new MC-130J tail soon? :)
