Milcom Web Pages and Mailing Lists

Where to Start?

Even if you aren't around a military base, there's still several possibilities to hear milair traffic:

• Airnav
• Your local ARTCC Center uses both VHF and UHF frequencies for aircraft communications
• DOD Digital Flight Publications
  • The midair refueling maps can be found here Note that it is a PDF document and about 600 pages long
• If you have one in your area, a TRACON is also another source of activity
• If you live near a major city, chances are good your local airport also uses UHF frequencies in addition to the usual civil air ones.
• World Aero Data
