[MilCom] Blue Angels at Pensacola Beach

[Joe Cobb]

I wasn't able to get those due to the show being at
the beach.   The Air Station is 10 miles west so I
don't think ground support and maintenance freqs would
have been heard due to distance so i concentrated on
air to air.  I barely could hear PNS tracon.
