Today there was an IFE of an F-18 with one engine out. He had to jettison external fuel tanks at "Jettison Hill" not sure where that is? Anyone know please post. Anyway some other really strange, maybe not so strange to pilots, things happened during the emergency. For one the atc at Nellis gave this pilot no less than three freq hand offs? Don't ya think the pilot has his hands full enough than to give him more to do? Ok if this is normal so be it, on to the next weird thing. The wingman after he landed was asking the tower if he could continue his original flight plan back home to El Centro and not landing at Nellis to check on his buddy? "Talk to me Goose... or just send me a email tomorrow I'm going home." What's up with that? Maybe it was"Iceman"?
Ok enough silly stuff what I really wanted to post was the freq used for the emergency landing 343.725. Which leads me to ask when is somebody gonna post a really good VHF UHF channel database on RRDB? We have enough listeners to compile the real deal database don't we? I see some are posted on airnav.com and dreamlandresort.com but it really needs to be on the rrdb so others can use the download option to the scanner software. Other bases are in the DB why not Nellis? Wouldn't it better to have sorted freqs for Red Flag and Normal ops, Approach,Departure, Refuel tracks and Range ops? There are so many working freqs and yet none posted rrdb?
Please consider posting.
