We all know that the best formation aerobatics teams fly great formations and match each other's moves with great precision. But have you listened to a really good team? The formation maneuvers match pitch beautifully and the series maneuvers not only look the same but sound the same. Here's some audio from the Aeroshell Team's performance today.

We talk to LCDR Craig Olson, Opposing Solo of the US Navy Blue Angels. Dan McNew and I were treated to a Blue angels demonstration flight from the ramp of the Western Michigan University School of Aviation on the northeast corner of the field at Battle Creek International Airport (KBTL) in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Blue Angels arrived at about 10:30 local and the diamond and the solos, respectively, flew familiarization maneuvers between then and 2:30. The team then flew a full demo before meeting us out by the aircraft for interviews. Full show notes at www.airspeedonline.com.
