[MilCom] Willow Grove Air Show

[Richard L. Kramer]

Hi All; I was at the show Sat/Sun; sat with Jim Devenny(spelled right?); and
was in contact via ham radio with Dan Myers. In addition to what Dan posted
about base alerts; on Sunday there was a broadcast put out on the MP freq:
165.1375 about a former Army recruit sent threatening e-mails indicating he
was going to harm Sea Cadets at the show.
Thankgoodness he didn't make good on his intentions.
There was to be an S3 Viking demo; but it was damaged by a truck and did not
perform.
