I saw this on the news a few nights ago about saying Blue Angels are coming back to Jax for the Air shows.

I miss going to Practice Fridays at the NASJAX Target store.

Make sure to listen to the Blue Angels talkgroups....on the NASJAX TRS.

Yesterday I thought I would listen to the Blue Angles. Do not really listen to mil-air and was it boring. All I heard was the pilots singing saying goofy stuff. Maybe it is common but I guess I will not listen today.

They do that so they know where they are in the routine. Each syllable has a specific meaning in their formation and each pilot knows what they are to be doing because of it.

Here is a video where you can hear them doing this:
