Blue Angels were just up on 237.800 and 284.250, sounds like they landed at Andrews. Someone talking to them on 305.500 possibly ground.

Heard them too also on tape 1717 local Blue Angel 1 flight of 6 dropping down but if they were on 305.200 more likely Pax River
but wasn't here to verify.

Next C-17 formula delivery going to Pennsylvania according to this news report.. Nice to see Hilo C-17 at Indianapolis
and lots of Fedex trucks.

jsoergel verifies that 305.5 is the Thunderbird 7 to tanker WHISK 91 boom freq as WHISK took T-bird 7 solo west back to Nellis.

I got them on this frequency as well as they passed me here in Kentucky around 2250Z.

Beautiful AF1 video.

Any idea who arrived in Yakota from ADW in 98-0001 SAM 892 a few hours after AF1?

60k weight is not that heavy but 132 pallets... Sounds almost C-5M size :)

Spent some time poking through this thread this evening, and I have to share a big thank you for posting this audio. I’m an ATC radar controller who works exercise scrambles exactly like the one SLAM flight was flying, in my airspace on a near weekly basis lately. It turned into a great training aid for me just to hear both sides of 260.9, and just how much Huntress is in their ear. It explains the occasional lack of responsiveness from the interceptors to ATC instructions; a lot going on in there. I’ll share this with my coworkers.

Here is the Audio if you missed it:

It takes about 20 seconds to open up for some reason so "wait for it"
First is Warren Grove Gunnery Range A-10's practicing killing ground targets
Then we had Slam 1 & Slam 2 , F-15's from Barnes with Huntress control practicing intercepting pleasure aircraft venturing into a no fly zone over Martha's Vinyard
Then we had Masta 1 - 2 and Bandit 1-2 Barnes F-15's with dogfights in W-105

Enjoy,
Bob

The Thunderbirds pass Kentucky going from Dover to the upcoming Air Force Academy Graduation chatting away on 149.65 AM. They are behind the tanker SNAP 51 as they fly west.

Some topics in the clip below:

Did you go to the Academy?
The new applicants rushing the team, what number do you want?
The guy who showed up at the social event wearing a shirt with a giant chimpanzee face on it.
One applicant told the female T-bird that 'it's so complicated with a girl'.
He was from Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, Alaska, ice people and Eskimos?
Some references to Tundra and Game of Thrones.
My stomach's OK but I forgot my headphones in the hotel.
The Boss (or whatever he's called) says that after worrying about the T-birds so much, when he leaves the team he'll just stare at a blank wall for a while.
