Here is one for the oddball column. Someone on 253.650 MHz playing “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley – famous song for Rickrolling – the classic late-2000s internet prank where unsuspecting users click a promising link only to be redirected to the iconic 1987 music video.
Tail 90003, Tail 80002, and SAM 154 calling Cactus on “SATCOM EA” frequency for radio checks. These are Boeing C-32A aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and typically used to transport VIP such as the Vice President, the First Lady, the Secretary of State, and other high-ranking government officials.
