And sometimes diversity bites you in the ass, as can be seen by the recent early removal of a couple of Fat Albert pilots. Though any more on this probably needs to go over to the PNA side...
Sooo, anyone want to elaborate over in PNA?

Maybe it's been a slow burn after the 82' "diamond crash" and some close calls since.

A color beginning with a "P" (I guess a little unconscious bias showing).You're close - it's Purple...
I asked her if she was going to rush...........she just grinned.She'd be a phenomenal Blue Angel.
All quiet here... if it is very recent my daughter will be severely disappointed....
Edit- Blues website confirms but could have been a scheduled rotation.....
Boom mic: BA solo from about 10-15 years ago told me they feel the hose restricts their head turning during crosses and rendezvous, and the boom doesn't. For XC transits above FL270, they wear the mask. I found this very odd for the obvious reasons. Additionally, I was curious why FL270 is the cutoff, rather than ANY transiting.
Around 2008, the Blues were in Sacramento. BA7's jet was unattended and we had U-2 zaps to put on it. Being respectful and caring vandals, we decided to only put them in the wheel wells so the public wouldn't see them, but the pilots and maintainers would. However, our attempt failed: there was so much hydraulic fluid all over the jet that nothing would stick. The zaps literally slid off. We left defeated.
...Flash, your implication that they don't fly to the same level of precision is rather parochial...
If we're not talking about who I think we're not talking about - pretty sure both completed their Blues tours as scheduled.
FWIW, that's the altitude in the F/A-18 where the cabin altitude approaches 10K'. Nominal pressurization schedule is 10K' cabin at FL280, then roughly 0.4 x aircraft altitude above that. We often refer to transits below FL280/270 as the "maskoffosphere". Or, at least, we would, if we weren't always wearing our masks from takeoff to landing. Always. Even on 6+ hour flights.
