Saw the show at Dobbins yesterday. Was a guest of the NAS's C.O. and
saw the demo from the VIP area. The Blues started out with the four
ship and two solos. On several of the maneuvers, one of the
four-ships dropped out making a three-ship formation. Although the
Blues are always great to see, I would rate this performance a little
ragged. Obviously, the replacement was not fully up to speed. On a
few of the flybys, the slot man was out of position. At other times,
the smoke was not on on all of the aircraft. The Blues web site
indicates two Marines on the team, but I only think one Marines was
introduced by the announcer.
