[MilAir] Re: MilAir Digest, Vol 14, Issue 3

Yeah baby!!  Too bad the solos didn't do the "dirty roll on takeoff".  That 
would be impressive to see from your spot on the departure end!  I haven't 
seen the "blues" in a couple of years and assume the lead solo still does 
the dirty roll (gear and flaps extended).

Sorry I can't help you on the freqs for the showboss, but you can try this:
