They really put on a show today. More flybys than originally intended. I put together a video with their interflight comms. You probably won't get those comms anywhere else.

PLUTO99 was N955NA
PLUTO98 was N967NA
PLUTO95 heavy was N905NA. Apparently if it has mode-S, it wasn't turned on because I didn't log it on my Radarbox, same for N932NA. Neither were available for tracking on Flightaware.

Other aircraft you might have heard on ATC are N355ET an AS 355 and OMAHA3 (Dept of Homeland Security) a UH-1 that uses the hex code A1CBEC (N21485). I not sure what 355ET was doing other than maybe photos/video.

NEWS1 was likely the helo used jointly by the local ABC and CBS news stations. CBS refers to it as Sky-9. Don't know the reg for it and it doesn't have mode-S.

Thanks a lot for putting the youtube audio up. I was lucky enough to be staying at a Washington Airport Hotel during the flyby, and it was breathtaking. I am glad I was able to find the audio from the flight up on Youtube. Great stuff.
