Had HOIST 85 87-0120 and HOIST 86 85-0027 Southbound here and HOIST85,86 showing off Florida East Coast
dropping down hanging around just South of Jacksonville NAS at 12k feet.

I'm guessing the best bet to hear the A-10 flyover today would be to scan the 104th Fighter Squadron frequencies based out of Martin Airport?

That is, if the flyover goes as planned...

1230- Getting some weak chat on 318.5 which I have tagged as a B-2 A-A freq.

anyone know if there's some B-2s in the area?

Still active at 1243 but comms choppy and weak so can't get anything out of it.

Here is list of current 104th FS freqs

226,175
228,1
266.6
271.4
275.7 (Raven Ops)
290.4
293.3

THey have basically given up on the VHF freqs (136-150mhZ)

Would imagine they will use the local Potomac Tracon UHF freqs as well.

There's also a live feed from Martin State on LiveATC.

1307- The acty on 318.5 is still going on as of 1307 but the comms are getting clearer.

Sounds like two acft doing some sort of test flt, one pilot has UK accent. Maybe F-35s from PAX River.

1341- Axeman 1 flt (3 X A-10Cs 104th AS MTN) depart MTN. So looks like the flyover is a go. On discrete (266.6)

1400 and Haven't heard any more from Axeman. Maybe they just headed somewhere else and the flyover is not going????

Rgr see a couple TV choppers hanging around Martin State.
N713TV and N119TV.
Choppers bugging out towards Baltimore.. check N119TV headed back to Martin state area.
Nothing heard here yet.. They scratch?
Ch 11 news shows the 3 A-10's departing..
Maybe they skipped Belair area and went straight to Frederick

Just saw them (flight of 3) fly over my place in Annapolis, pretty much directly over. Call it 1 minute in the past, that would put them 4 minutes ahead of schedule...waiting for my ADSB to pick them up...though they probably don't have the proper equipment.
