I heard the Nobles doing Air-to-Air a couple of hours ago doing a mock trivial contest.

Questions involved things like what are french fries called in the UK and fast food type questions.

Guess you got to do something while doing boring flying in circle for hours.

That JetBlue Captain sounded a bit shook up..
NOBLE-21,22 A/A 376.175.... ZDC 363.000 will be their primary Center freq.

Yeah Hill remember back in NYC Caps with NY ANG F-16's they played Battleship board game.

Looks like trivia was only played while fts were on the boom.

Yea, I didn't look at the radio during these transmission to see what frequency they were on, since was doing some other stuff at the time away for it.

Somebody previously published a document with the Air Cap's terminology. The words they use and their meanings. If you did can you post again?

I thought I saved it.

Louisville airshow flyovers are live out there if interested... Lots of commercials
Funny as happened to have on TV the Heritage golf tourney in South Carolina and a new Boeing 787-9
buzzed the golf course. Boeing South Carolina supplied a new Westjet aircraft for the job.

Interesting toys off shore. The Truman was off shore between NC and Florida. The YouTube video was posted a couple days ago and a great watch into the life onboard.

Of interest is ForceCM interview at 24:45, talking about their tour the training and states CVN 75 deploying to replace the Ford -- already in the Middle East.

Wonder if the toys playing were part of a battle group or other assets off shore.
