Blue Angels on 3/14

I was out in the desert near El Centro on 3/14. I heard the formation team on 275.35 and 284.25. The solos were on 237.8.

I'm betting the City has (or had) an "air tac" talk group.
Yeah, that's what I thought but I can't find anything listed. I looked at RCS as well and didn't see anything there either.

CG Helo and Longrifle today?

Did anyone hear about a distress call from a boat today in the Pendelton area. I heard a strange exchange between a CG helo and Longrifle this morning. I thought it was some sort of strange practice and forgot about it. I just saw a post on another board that there was a boat in distress in the area.
