Just received a response to my question: Will handheld radio scanners be allowed?

Tina Talton's email reply was: That will be fine.

has anyone found or heard of a frequency list? I am programming in the list of Blue Angel frequencies that I have off this site.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to the Civilian Aviation Forum to get more replies

Any clue as to how that could be accomplished?

Sounds like a similar lineup to last year's Wings over Wayne Air Show at Seymour Johnson in North Carolina. I attended both days and you can see my post with frequencies in the forum at ...

Kmyr 2018 airshow

Paul any other freqs for the other performers that were there? I'm headed to KNKT air show next weekend just loading up a few banks in my little Icom R-2. I sent a email to Cherry Point Security about 4 weeks ago, with a picture and the model and specs on my Icpm R-2 and ask If I may bring this device into the airshow. Got email back and believe or not they said yes !
I have printed down the emails down and will carry them with me to the vetting check point and see what happens. About 2 years ago they would not let me in the airshow with a PRO-97 .

The only other frequency I can verify is for the USAF F-16 Viper Team solo performer: 384.550 MHz.

One of the two Blue Angels' Solo planes had to land early. I was told that an alternate plane, number 7, then took off. But the show ended with only five planes, so the alternate, or one of the other original six, also had trouble. Heard "solenoid" mentioned on the Blue Angels' Ground Crew frequencies, either 139.8125 or 142.6125, NFM and 67.0 PL
