The YouTube only has the audio from the tower talking to the helicopters and the fixed wing aircraft. You can hear the reply from the fixed wing aircraft but not from the helicopters as they are transmitting on a different frequency that is not being received & recorded on the YouTube you linked. You need to do more research. If you do you will find out that helicopters use the frequency 134.35 and you can hear the tower talking back & forth to a Medivac helicopter and PAT 25. Just before the crash the tower says: "do you have the CRJ in sight" and PAT25 responds: "have the aircraft in sight, request visual separation".Is the audio publically available?Yes, LD, it is.
Thing is, it does not say anything that Ronj says it says.
He won't post any of it, because he knows it does not.
He is lying, just like Duncass is lying.
I'll just leave this here, demonstrating Ronj is posting BS as usual.
It's just that simple. Do your research and come up with the facts. I have a download of the audio recording between the helicopters and the tower but it's a little confusing because most of transmissions are between the tower and the fixed wing aircraft. You don't hear any replies from the aircraft at all. When the tower calls the helicopter only then do you hear both sides of the transmissions. That's because when the tower talks, they are transmitting on both the tower frequency for the fixed wing aircraft and on the helicopter frequency. On the receive side you don't hear the aircraft on the fixed wing tower frequency only the helicopters on 134.35. It all makes sense to me after flying for lots of years & talking to control towers and actually repairing aircraft radios when I had a radio shop at my local airport.
If you lookup the tower frequencies for Reagan Airport you will find out that they use a number of frequencies. Arrival is different from departure. East is different than West. There are some different ground frequencies for different applications as well. This is typical for a busy airport like Reagan. I've never been in there myself as pilot in command but it's the same kind of thing if you are flying into an airport in Chicago or LA which I have been into.
