I'm hearing DRAGO51 really loud on the DC flyby freq, says they're on-time. 279.575

Not quite nearly inverted as I remembered, but still badass. Needs a few minutes to finish processing.

The sound was marvelous and really not captured with this camera.

Unfortunately, the Navy Oceana airshow stream has had obvious connectivity issues.

Now, it seems to be fixed.
