Just got back from watching the Thunderbirds practice show at Mount
Comfort airport just east of Indianapolis.  The following freqs were 
confirmed:

141.850 am - Diamond
235.250 am - Solos

There was what I consider a BIG incident during the practice.  We were 
watching the show from south of the airport when an A-10 came in from the
south at 2000 feet right toward show center.  He veered slightly to the
east, but the practice show had to be stopped.  At the time the A-10 was 
passing directly off the east end of the runway, the diamond formation was 
heading straight toward him.  Someone REALLY screwed up on that one. 

I have the audio captured on my PC.  I'll try to get it converted to an
MP3 file and find a place to post it.  I don't have a web site, so if anyone
has a place to post it, let me know.
