Scanner and New Freqs...

So, my old scanner died... and I'm looking for a new one.

What one do you guys suggest to be able to listen in on the team's freqs?

And is there a new list of the freqs for this year?

Thanks!

Database for Thunderbird aircraft

I'm sure most you have run across this site, but I just did and found it interesting. It's a database of the F-16's used by the Thunderbirds.
