InOverMyHead, my Whistler performed great through the whole show. I have a SD card set up just for air shows that took about 15 minutes to create. The show was very good (morning session) and the B-25 fleet included 17 planes according to an announcement. After seeing the Canadian Snow Birds and CF-18 earlier this year, the Yankee Air Museum deserves kudos for helping people return to positive things.

Any idea what they were using 246.500 for? That’s an old freq that hadn’t been used for the past few years.

My notes indicate there were some brief transmissions on Thursday @ 2:05PM. It wasn't anything they were using actively during the real shows.
