[MilCom] Blues 237.8 Where Headed?

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

163.5875 is a CAFB frequency that was in use during the show.

There was some chatter on 346.500 Maintenance prior to the show, where they 
were checking things on the aircraft.


This is a good frequency to listen to prior to the show. A few years ago, 
while listening to the maintenance frequency, on of the birds had a 
collision warning light problem. They could not get it fixed prior to show 
time. They rolled the birds down to the end of the runway and substituted a 
backup bird for the bad one. Most at the show were none the wiser. It did 
take a little longed than usual to get them airborne due the substitution. 
They referred to placing the aircraft in quarantine.

I heard burst of squelch opening on Alpha (139.8125) and Bravo (142.6125) 
prior to the show and Charlie (138.250) after the show, but could not make 
anything out. I was not sure if this was the Blue Angles of something else.
