"Awesome. Got my copy. Now, just waiting for the first opportunity to use it!!!
Actually, it is full of 'good stuff' to use every day. Like the recently published ARTCC guide by the same author." Jay Reid ~ KG4OJJ in Military Forum on RadioRef.
Every year, from March through November, millions of people hit the road to watch the excitement and thrills as military and civilian aero teams put their high performance aircraft through their paces to entertain the crowds and perform at air shows all over the world. Anyone who has attended one of these events will tell you it is thrilling to watch the close quarter flying of the Blue Angels delta formation or the hair-splitting maneuvers of the Thunderbird opposing solos.
While attending the show and enjoying the sights and sounds
is an exciting experience that is only half the fun. You can add another whole
dimension to that visual experience by monitoring the performing teams’ radio
communications.
With a radio scanner in hand you will experience a whole new
perspective of the show that few attendees will ever experience – pilot audio
from the aircraft cockpit. While everyone else at the air show is just watching
and listening to the public address system narrator, you’ll be able to hear
what’s happening inside the cockpit, up in the tower and on the ground with the
hundreds of players that keep these screaming, state of-the-art air machines
thundering through the skies.
But you can’t tell the players without a program, and to
indulge in monitoring the air show experience you need a current and well
researched list of frequencies that the various performers may use during their
performance.
In our new Teak Publishing Air Show Guide
e-Book, former Monitoring Times Assistant Editor and Milcom columnist Larry
Van Horn delivers the hundreds of frequencies you’ll need if you’re within
receiving distance of any air show in 2014.
From the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds precision flight teams
to the U.S. service parachute and search and rescue demonstration teams, to the
many other military and civilian demo teams from the U.S. and abroad, Larry has
the list of frequencies each unit uses. Now you can bring the excitement you
see at the show to your ears. Listening to the nonstop action at the air show
on over dozens of radio frequencies is the real fun of being there.
But wait, there’s more! Larry also tells you which scanners
work best at the air shows, what features you’ll need and which models can
cover the military as well as civilian frequencies used at all air shows. There
is also a chapter on tips for enjoying a great day at the air show.
You will also get frequency lists for other possible
frequencies in use at the air show including GMRS, Family Radio Service, DoD
Intra-Squad Radio frequencies, and even Civil Air Patrol VHF/UHF frequencies
and call signs. We also include an up-to-date air show Internet resource guide
and the latest information from U.S. Department of Defense on the various team
activities in 2014. We even have frequency listing for overseas military teams
and civilian aeronautical demonstrations teams.
Finally you will get the latest schedule information for
2014 for the three major flight demonstration teams: U.S. Navy Blue Angels,
U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. We will also
include with each show location, the latest ATC (Air Traffic Control)
frequencies for each facility hosting a show, when known. This schedule
information only covers the United States and Canada.
This is the 15th edition of this guide published by this
author. The first 14 editions appeared each March in the pages of the former Monitoring
Times magazine and were one of the most popular features in the
magazine.
This edition of the Teak Publishing Air Show Guide is
now the most comprehensive collection of air show information and frequencies
ever published for the radio listening hobby. When the Air Force T-Birds and
the Navy Blue Angels, dozens of other precision flight teams, skydiving teams
and vintage aircraft crews are in the air and on the air, Larry has all the
frequencies for them all in this new eBook!
Frequency updates, correction and late additions between
editions of this e-Book will be posted on his Milcom Monitoring Post blog at: http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/.
