Dayton Air Show 2008

The 2008 Vectren Dayton Air Show is underway. Rod Villari reports in with active frequencies and what he heard on Saturday:

124.900  -  Air Boss    This was an interesting choice since it is used
                                        here in Cincinnati. Some of the early  performers
                                        complained that they were picking up CVG when
                                        they were in the air. They never changed frequencies
                                        and I did not hear any more complaints later in the
                                        show. All of the aircraft communicated to Air Show
                                        Control on this  frequency.

                                        Discrete frequencies are listed below:

123.150   -   Aeroshell Aerobatic Team

128.475   -   Collaborators, Sean Tucker

280.800   -   Apache Demo Team

384.55    -   F-16 Demo, Heritage Flight

123.525  -    Starfighters

376.025  -   Heard the F-22 Raptor on this  frequency for a very few minutes.
                     He then indicated that he was switching to a  UHF discrete
                     frequency and never heard any more. I thought he indicated
                     378.475,  but did not hear any traffic on that frequency.


The F-18 did not appear to have any ground support frequency.

The Misty Blues did not appear to have any ground support either.
Their sole contact was on the Air Boss frequency.

Thanks for that report Rod, if anyone catches any other frequencies, please post a comment.

Local public safety at the show appear to being using the Montgomery County TRS talkgroup 12656 I-OP 1. I have heard a lot of heat related issues reported on that tg. Also 12688 I-OP 2 is active with some event related traffic, but not as busy.
