Awesome video Mike! Top of the rejoin of the fleur-de-lis was interesting but loved how Rico and the rest of the diamond/team have nothing but unconditional trust for one another and are able to still pull off the Maneuver. Ive heard that diamond Maneuver is the quickest and most difficult of all the ones they fly also noting no "boards" speed breaks are used in the fleur-de-lis Thanks for sharing Mike
From 0:47 to 0:54, it looks to me like #2 takes off and clmbs a bit above Boss... so Stalin in #4 can get into the Slot position. KEWL!!! WOW!!! From 20:12 to 20:19 at the top of the Fluer De lei.... #2 took an agressive turn toward Boss... and had to SERIOUSLY correct not to hit any other jet. Bet THAT was a LARGE part of the Debrief!!! WOW!!
Hey Mike. Couple of questions about your location for this practice. Are they using the runway that runs East to West or the one that runs NW-SE and do the Solo’s always take off in that direction? Last one, are you set up on Low Rd?
Rule #1 in formation flying: Boss is never out of position. Rule #2: Wingman, stay in position, even if you have to get out and push! But, if wingmen are consistently out of position, especially if they are all out at the same time, it is likely the result of something Boss did. Looks like Boss had a tough day.
Thank you for your awesome videos! Especially like when you include videos of the rejoins! 2:01

You're Welcome
#2 was kind of close coming down on the fleur-de-lis. Thanks Mike, for another great video.
You're Welcome Al

Whoever was riding backseat with Stallin at the Fleur de Lis rejoin had one hell of a show... hopefully kept their drawers clean!
Looks like 2 came a little close, should have called a safety 😱😱😱
Still, my favorite part of the demo is watching the solos play catch-up to the diamond to complete the delta. Hair on fire, hauling ass....luv it
Good video Mike very close call on that maneuver…by chance you know if they are doing the meet and greet this year
Thanks Richard, if you are asking about the Friday night thing unfortunately it's no, it would be Great if the Base would being that back.
@@MKBLUES1 darn it thanks my friend

Nice drift from #4 on that delta takeoff
21:22. Nice recovery.
Hell of a save by Rico. That was impressive. Great job as always Mike. This is the end of winter training right?
Thanks! Yes

The Blues usually use the NW-SE runway (30-12) and yes set up on Low Road.
21:14 😳
Nice gentle corrections though. Sounds like it was windy as hell out there.

The smoke must be perfect.
