That's a new addition to the normal SAM 45 plane list, isn't it? I don't recall seeing it. Could it be due to the extensive flight schedule of the past few days or will this be another member of the group of aircraft used for trips?

This is 045 which is I think is just part of the usual SAM ### numbering system. In the old days the ### used to equate to their tail number but that system disappeared years ago.

Guys,

Has anyone tried one of these antennas for VHF/UHF milair? Their freq range is 45-800 MHz & they are really cheap. If they work the only drawback I see is that they look to be quite directional.

Ron, I couldn't get your link to work, is this the one you are asking about? --

I bet Dover C-17 Captain and crew got a kick the other night as AF-2
