High speed pass is the best lol . Good show .

With the cadence they use, I dont know how they stay in formation. And the nonsense talk going on.... it would seem hard to concentrate. Unprofessional sounding. Like a bunch of kids flying.

Everything transmitted over the radios resembles a movement or action and, while maneuver acknowledgement verbiage may vary, are far from nonsense. A full show season with legs that disable their ability to travel back home for a week, followed by the frequency of which they fly together, makes them immovable from their element. Furthermore, after a season spent sounding much more monotone and direct, it's nice to have a show where everything is not as uptight. A show reserved specifically for squadron friends and family when everything is said and done is an appropriate place for this to happen.

@@KujoFS21781 The nonsense im talking about... is the Yee Ha or Yea Buddy... for example. After listening to the Blue Angels for years, this is just way off the professionalism chart for me. Just sounds like a bunch of cheerful civilians flying.

@@thewildgoose1979 Blue Angels do it too. If you watched one of many training flights the blues do over El Centro, you would of heard Amanda Lee and Boss making jokes about the roses growing out in El Centro. Boss's exact coment was "smell them roses" followed by a chuckle. They both have coms that can seem unseeasacry or non sense. but saying the USAF Thunderbirds are unproffessional is simply wrong especailly when there performance this year was arguably better than the blues.
