American Airpower Museum Practice Runs

Tomorrow and Sunday you may hear some jet and prop noise. The American Airpower Museum will be doing some airshow “warm-ups” with their L-39 and AT-6 Texan. So don’t mistake the jet noise of the L-39 with the jet noise of the Blue Angels :p

Also remeber that the American Airpower Museum is still selling their tickets on line 25% off. For more information visit: http://www.americanairpowermuseum.com/

Sky-Tec Share Your Dream!

Ed Hamill’s new sponsor, Sky-Tech is having a promotion to “encourage kids of all ages to set goals, work hard and never give up: a strong, powerful message for today’s noisy and often negative world.”

5/17/12 – Today’s Airshow Updates

by Kenneth P.

There hasn’t been any new MAJOR updates but I decided to post this anyway to keep you in the loop.

American Airpower Museum

It is now confirmed the Grumman TBM Avenger will be flying at the 2012 American Airpower Museum Memorial Day Celebration.

Also if you want to buy admission or dinner tickets at a discount, now is the time to do it as time is ticking away.

Arrival Information

As of now it looks like a C-130J from Rhode Island will come in sometime this weekend and the Blue Angels will arrive on Monday afternoon. Hopefully I’ll post some more updates tomorrow.

Mach 1 Productions

Last but certainly not least I would like to give Mach 1 Productions some recognition.

These are the guys who work behind the scenes and provide sound and communication services. Without them the show would not be possible.

They will set up their communications trailer at the American Airpower Museum and they will broadcast a commentary and aircraft communications.

Check them out at: http://www.danmclaren.com/

5/17/12 – Airshow Live Streams

by Kenneth P.

W2lie.net

W2lie.net will be hosting its annual airshow live stream again this year.

On their website they will have a live feed that allows you to hear audio from Republic Tower, Airboss and other important frequencies so you can hear all the action that is going on at Republic and the Beach.

They also have all the airshow frequencies on their airshow page, so you can manually type them into your scanner and listen to them.

To listen to their live stream click here and select Special Event Feed 1

For performer frequencies ect; click here

WHLI 1100AM

WHLI 1100AM will also be back this year broadcasting the airshow narration.

They simulcast the same narration that they have on the beach just in case you are out of range of the speakers, or if you just want to hear some airshow action at home.

You can listen to this broadcast by tuning into 1100AM on your AM radio or you can listen to it online here.
