[MilCom] Heads up Pittsburgh - Blue Angels

[Mike Riffle]

Blue Angels 1-5 are on their way to Pittsburgh for the airshow this weekend.
Air-air comms are on 237.8, 275.35, 284.25, 305.5. Boom freq with STEEL 63
(KC-135 171ARW out of Pittsburgh) is on 289.8. Aerial refueling will begin 
north of the Volunteer VORTAC near Knoxville TN. BA5 will tank first, then
detach and proceed direct Pittsburgh. BuNos passed:

BA1 161967
BA2 161960
BA3 161975
BA4 161942
BA5 162897

BA6 had a maint issue shortly after takeoff. He returned to NAS Pensacola
to swap to BuNo 163106. He filed inflight with Sherman tower on 340.3 for
a flight to Pittsburgh at FL410.

BA1-5 ARTCC: 307.15>239.35>371.95

BA6 ARTCC: 319.1 direct destination

BA4 tried calling Robins metro on 344.6 with no luck (must not have read
the NOTAM saying their new freq is 349.85).

Finally, here's an interesting tidbit from their a/a comms "Where's Boss go
when he switches off comm 1...He makes sure he's got all the frequencies
set for the field we're going into...He likes them 1-5 even though they're
already setup 11-15"
