[MilCom] "Sentry Eagle" Fri-Sat report (Klamath Falls, OR)

Tue Aug 14 14:01:19 EDT 2007

btw
Stealth-81(F117) was performing at the Abbotsford international airshow on the weekend.
At one point in the show the announcer stated that Slealth-81 was leaving the show to perform 
at another airshow in Oregon and would return later in the day.
manged to follow Stealth-81s comms on various uhf-am freqs down into Washington State
before comms were lost.  
295.0   Abbotsford  tower
290.8  Victoria terminal
270.3   Seattle Center
later in the day I heard Stealth-81 return  using the above freqs  where the aircraft made several passes at the show before landing.
