Default Thunder over michigan

Went to the hangar on Friday and watched Tucker and the Blues
practice. I had the airshow frequency so I got to listen to the
AirBoss talk to the flyers. Did not hear the conversations to the
Blues tho. I assume that they were using military frequencys.
Pretty neet.

I heard (I think it's in the Angel's FAQ) that they (the Angels) don't
disclose the frequency/allow scanners to prevent someone from hijacking the
frequency and give false "instructions". It's probably a military encrypted
freq anyway.

I left my scanner at home; I had a tough time describing (without the actual
radio transmissions) what goes on with the people i was with sigh

I always listen to the Blues (or Thunderbirds) on my scanner when
attending air shows. Neither encrypt their transmissions, and the
freqs are readily available (They tend to use many of the same freqs
from show to show). They do use military freqs, so You'd need a
scanner with that capability to listen in.
