I was able to snag a ride from a fellow Texas alum in a 2006 airshow. I had the seat to the left of the camera angle and I did the whole flag thing too.

I was amazed at the chatter as well. All the Blues operate on a call sequence with known calls and pacing. Fat Albert is no different. It may be excessive but it works. FWIW, I'll take the RadAlt calls if I ever get to see 300KIAS at 50'.

The E-6 pilot/T-44 IP within me thought it was fun. The former T-34 IP within me was a little bored outside of the high speed low pass

Although it is busy, it still is a great example of CRM, required calls/responses and the handling of cockpit duties as the pilot, copilot and FE move inside/outside the cockpit.
