tankers.
Talking to BIGFOOT on 271.00, to ATC on 379.95 and 128.375 and to the tankers
on a boom freq of 277.35.

orbiting in AR-643. Wants Ops to call Major XXXXXXX and find out when the

are supposed to rendezvous with the tanker. Is told the AR has possibly been
cancelled; but the T-Birds have taken off as sked.
121.60:  SAM-91, (C-32A, Andrews), gets clearance Round-Robin to Buckley. Is
the backup plane to Air Force 1 and will only take off if something happens 
to the

ground.

him they did the fly-by of the Academy, but cancelled the show due to weather
