[@NanPeterson-o6r]

Thank you Mike, very appreciative of your work the entire winter training season. It allowed us to watch the team, track their progress, hear their voice’s and cheer from afar. They are ready!

Well, Mike, it has been another great year watching the Blues progress. Time for them has flown rather quickly! As you said, today will be the last practice; tomorrow is show time. Thanks for all the great moments thus far. 👍🔥✌️🇺🇲💯

Thank you, Mike, for all of your hard work and dedication to bring us these excellent videos of winter training. It's a privilege to watch the blues progress from newbies to show time in what seems to be getting a shorter period of time as the weeks seem to fly by. I hope to make it out that way in the very near future to watch them practice and to see the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. Have a blessed and safe rest of your 2024, and I look forward to seeing you again in January of 2025. Take Care!

Thank you is an understatement, Mike.

What is wrong with the single-seat #4 aircraft that it still hasn't shown up this late in the training season?

[@soriarhlm3706]

What happen to the other one in air show ? Technical issues?

[@thewildgoose1979]

Will they stay the week in El Centro after the air show before heading to Travis AFB , then back home to Fla.?

[@MKBLUES1]

Yes

[@れんとんさーすとん-c3w]

３本目！
この日はエプロンからの撮影なんですね！
今までの撮影場所ばかり見ていて、ソロチームの５番機と６番機の離陸前の息の合ったターンがとても好きでした！
でも、やはりウォークダウンからの方が本来の見方なんでしょうね😅
それにしてもとにかく機体同士の間隔、地面から近いのが本当に素晴らしいです！
他の方コメントを見たのですが、シーズンオフの練習はこれで最後なんですか？
もしかして、見れなくてなってします？
もしそうだったらスゴい寂しいです😢

[@TheRuska]

I know most of the callouts from boss, but I can’t make out the last word when the are leaving the runway and #4 slides over. “A little ____”?

[@MKBLUES1]

Drive, it means just keep doing what you are doing

[@ero1456]

What do you use to hear the pilot communications?

[@MKBLUES1]

Uniden 125 Sanner

[@HoldensAirshowVideoMedia]

Be cool if the Diamond did a burner sneak pass immediately following the Section High Alpha in the low show routine

[@MKBLUES1]

Yeah

[@thewildgoose1979]

Ive noticed the high speed passes don't seem to be as fast as they used to be.

[@MKBLUES1]

I think it's because the Super Hornet is bigger.

[@AviationFreak1]

The Mach limit was reduced to .95 after the fire station incident, not sure if the eyes can tell a difference in .95 and .96, probably just the fact that it’s bigger.
