One additional comm I caught on the Blues return home from Michigan...

[340.2 SHERMAN TOWER (NAS PENSACOLA)]
2257z "...we're about 15 minutes out, we're going to smoke the beach
       from west to east then rapid recovery 25...Blue Angel 5 copy
       all, no factor, and uh we'll have Blue Angel 7 recover first
       while we're smoking the beach"

I think the surgeon general would approve of that second hand smoke ;-)
