[MilCom] SNOWBIRD 12 Fly-By at Rolling Stones Concert Regina

[rob.berezowski at sasktel.sk.ca]

Greetings everyone,

SNOWBIRD 12, flight of 2, did a flyby of Mosaic Stadium (a.k.a. Taylor 
Field) at the opening of the Rolling Stones concert here in Regina, 
Saskatchewan. SNOWBIRD 12 orbited the stadium a few times as the opening 
act (I can't remember the name of the act) came on stage. Air to Air for 
the two SNOWBIRD Tutors was 272.1. They were in contact with STADIUM 
CONTROL, likely a handheld radio in the stadium, on 272.1, coordinating 
their fly-by. ATC communications were with Regina Tower on 118.6.

After the flyby, SNOWBIRD 12 landed runway 31 at Regina. Based on 
discussions with STADIUM CONTROL, the pilots were then likely transported 
to the stadium for the concert. I'm sure they got there in time to see the 
Rolling Stones take the stage. 

There is a second concert this Sunday. If there is another flyby with the 
SNOWBIRDS for the Sunday show, they will likely use the same frequencies 
and follow the same procedures.
