Blue Angels at Winter Training 1-9-24

Blue Angels at Winter Training Tuesday 1-9-24. Cool and nice today with two practices at Shade Tree. RICO the #2 pilot came in early from the morning practice and didn't fly the afternoon practice for unknown reason.

[@BullGator-kd6ge]

@@mauimikeable #2 is “Rico” and #5 is actually “Pushpop”. #6 is “Franz.”

[@mauimikeable]

@BullGator-kd6ge your right about pushpop. I didn't even catch my error. Thanks for the info.

[@MKBLUES1]

Thanks!

[@jeffanderson3450]

Great job again this year Mike. It is so great to see you back out there. I have two questions. The first is one I ask each year and that is the call signs. I have worked out Boss #2 Rico #3 Trash (I believe) #4 Stalin #5 Pushpop #6 Franz. What is #7s call sign? Also how many years have you been doing this now. I know you were doing it back in the old Air Show Buzz ( I miss that site) days.

[@HeftyAXE]

7 this year is "Buddy" from what I've heard

[@MKBLUES1]

Thanks Jeff, I miss airshow buzz too. BOSS #2 RICO #3 TRASH BLASTER #4 STALIN #5 PUSHPOP #6 FRANZ

[@MKBLUES1]

#3 Trash Blaster

[@gregoryandbilliefry6229]

Are they up and down that fast?

[@Paul1958R]

No tax dollar left unwasted

[@RockyAllenLane]

I hope the flight suits they are wearing is only for training flighs ... they're an awful color.

[@kimberlykeilty7952]

The color blue you see is traditional and unique. It is their training and show flight suit. The men and women that wear this flight suit reflect team, precision, and professionalism. It is a great color!!

[@RockyAllenLane]

The flight suits they were wearing today are NOT the bright blue the Blue Angels have been wearing for years.
