1317 EDT- National Cargo 307 just landed at Andrews. Something a little out of the ordinary. Flightaware says it's a 757 from Guantanamo Bay

For the flyover tomorrow I noticed some things in the NOTAMs today that may indicate what frequencies will be used.
NOTAMs say 134.35 (DCA Helo control) will not be available tomorrow from 12-1pm. 119.1 will be the temporary freq. So I have a feeling 134.35 may be reserved for the flyover since they will be flying a route and altitude typically used by helicopters. But before they get to the DC area I think they may be on Dulles approach control 135.775. It too is "not available" tomorrow from 11am-2pm. That's not a very active freq to begin with.
There could be an interflight freq too. Maybe one of the helo freqs?
120.075
122.75
123.025
123.05
123.475

Surveillance planes spotted in the sky for days after West Baltimore rioting - The Washington Post
And they're still clueless about front companies.
The C560 would've been N557PG.
N632MR is flying around somewhere right now.

Back from DC now. I was right on about the freqs. Listening to my recording now and hearing the 135.775 comms I couldn't hear in DC.
There were two camera helicopters, KODAK1 and CANON1. EXPEDITE1 I believe it was, was the one that flew ahead and circled DC for a while. It would parallel each formation over the Mall. STRAWBERRY5 was the sea plane, it was circling over Rosslyn for a while.
On my recording they passed 132.075 for an Air Boss freq.
Early in the morning I heard and got a picture of N355MH which was IDing as "????Patrol". Never could figure it out. It left and said it would be back at 1100. I think it was one of the camera copters. It used to by a NYPD helo, it's got a camera mounted now.

Did you see/hear the TBM that broke formation, and declare an emergency? He landed successfully on 19 at DCA. Pilot apparently reported a fire on DCA tower freq. Hydraulic fluid fouled the runway at DCA, ground stop was in effect until they cleaned it up. I saw him break off, lost him in the trees, then re-aquired him a few seconds later with his gear down low and headed south from my totally awesome spot on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial.

Will the Pentagon kill off the Warthog?
"The A-10 Thunderbolt II is a lumbering, old airplane. Taking its first flight in 1975, it was not designed for air-to-air combat like the F-15 Eagle. It's not sleek or stealthy like the F-22 Raptor. It has never taken a leading role in Hollywood blockbusters like the F-14 Tomcat or F/A-18 Hornet."
