Great Job Mike, as always. It occurred to me just this morning that there are no USMC pilots in the jet demo this year. I’m not sure that’s ever been the case before- not to my recollection anyway.

[@pigybak]

Like everything else, there’s a shortage on Marine pilots 🙉

[@BullGator-kd6ge]

Not in any recent times, but I believe the team is accepting applications from USMC pilots for next year

[@kaypie3112]

@@BullGator-kd6ge Yes Sir, I’m sure you are right about that.

[@NanPeterson-o6r]

Mike: We are so grateful of your time and energy each practice day. Your sharing of winter training videos made it possible for us to follow the team from afar. Kind regards!

The Tuck Over Roll was the best I've ever seen this early in the season, and this is show 1. Unreal. Great job. Sun n Fun Next Week!!

[@lmoore5994]

Another outstanding year of winter training videos Mike. I like thousands of others, enjoy all the work you put into capturing this incredible flight demonstration team. I hope to see you next year. Safe travels home.

[@MKBLUES1]

Thanks Lister

[@bmoorear]

Thank you for all the video's Mike. I am little bummed we didn't get to catch up more this winter, the weather and a busy schedule just didn't let it pan out. I am already looking forward to next January.

[@MKBLUES1]

Hey Brian, sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. Yeah, this winter was an odd one, it was the coldest one I remember and windy, I missed catching up with you guys also, we will do it next year.

[@fitzg9165]

As usual, great job Mike. Appreciate your time and dedication.

So since the blues are having a airshow next weekend in Ventura are they gonna stay in el Centro or head north

[@michaelskidmore5086]

They fly back to Pensacola after every airshow to refresh and relax so they can focus on the next airshow.

[@_wingflexaviation_]

They are staying in El Centro for a few more days and will fly out to Point Mugu later in the week. They will return to NAS Pensacola following the airshow at Point Mugu.

[@michaelskidmore5086]

@@_wingflexaviation_ I forgot they have a show in Point Mugu next weekend. Thx for the clarification

[@texxasal]

is it just me? The #3 jet trapped following the Saturday show at Point Mugu. That's 3 traps in less than 2 months? Curious????

[@MKBLUES1]

Hey Al, didn't hear about that, must of had brake problems again.

[@ausravarinauskaite4375]

We need PEACE!!!!!🤗🙏

[@custodianfile]

nice

[@Sleeperking05]

Why were they parked way over there and not closer to the flightline for their 1st airshow.?

[@_wingflexaviation_]

They moved it over so that spectators on Low Road wouldn't be within the aerobatic box
