[MilCom] Blue Angels, Low Power?

[Joe Cobb]

Forgot one thing as to not confuse everybody from my
previous posts.  The Maldol was on my Pro-97 and used
for practice thru the shows, my BC-296D was used for
the circle and arrival maneuvers only.   My milair
(non-airshow related) scanner was the also the Pro-97.
