There are a couple of aircraft frequencies that are used by helicopters in the area.

123.100 is used mostly by law enforcement helicopters for air to air communications.

122.775 is used by TV and other helicopters. I also hear Navy helicopters on there sometimes.

I shot a picture of what used to be called NewsChopper 7/39 landing at Montgomery Field this afternoon. All of the 7/39 graphics have been removed from it. They must be getting it ready for new ones. Is the station changing its marketing name when they go digital? I noticed their website doesn't men...

I wish they hadn't gone in the middle of the night. You'd think they have something to hide.

I think the Blue Angels train at NAF El Centro in the off-season.

The two planes flew from Albuquerque to Liberal, Kansas yesterday (Tuesday 12/16) and are scheduled to fly from Liberal to Thunder Bay, Ontario today, although they are past due for departure (as of 10:15 AM) according to their flight plans.
