[MilCom] Milville Airshow report

[Amtrak35 at aol.com]

 Just got back from Millville NJ airshow and trying to put early report 
together.
Will work on some pics later.

 A decent flyover show but not much static aircraft.The fighter demos all 
staged out
of Atlantic City and the Coast Guard was no-show today.The Snowbirds did 
stage out of Millville but had to use 2 backups for their show as their tired 
looking aircraft had a rough day but performed well once they got it together.
 Many of the flyovers were tied into Andrews air show down the coast like the 
B-1 and B-2 and F-117.
 Local Warbirds were doing well and the usual collector antiques and 
experimentals on display.
I missed first flyby at 10 am of Dover C-5 as I arrived but I see them all 
the time so wasn't concerned.

 Millville Ground 118.7-very active with fueing and moving aircraft around.
 Millville Ground UHF 238.150 
 This freq was listed as ground but was also used by flyby's of B-1,B-2 and 
Stealth   117.Guess they pulled double duty on this freq.
 
  Air Boss - 132.950- best freq for reports and traffic.
  Millville FSS 123.650- not too busy at the show but active.
  AtlanticCity appch 327.1250-used by FA-18 and F-15 demo aircraft along with 
B-1,B-2 and F-117.
  AtlanticCity appch 124.600-used by in and out Warbirds and most other 
civilian.

 Aircraft flyovers...... No tail numbers heard but freqs and callsigns.I'm 
sure Andrews reports will confirm some of these as many went to KADW show after 
Milvillle.

 SNOWBIRDS 272.100 ,taxiing but takeoff roll freq though must have been 
elsewhere as didn't hear a thing till aloft.Birds #1 and #6 had to rtb for circuit 
problems while group held nearby.Those 2 landed and picked up #10,#11 
airspares and show got underway.

 397.1250- Channel 1 Mil FRS as listed in MT mag.simplex talk,sounded like 
National Guard guys running Civil Air Patrol kids around directing traffic etc..

 TORA TORA TORA DEMO- I could not find a freq for this demo.I tried with only 
one scanner I had and listed MT freqs.Good pyro show though...lots of booms!

 Most other civilian acts stayed on Air-Boss freq.

 Probably more info but for now there is a steak on the grill with my name on 
it so have a good weekend....
