It sounded like the Blues were flying in two elements
due to the weather.   Although i really couldn't tell
how many were in an element.   But with 1 and 4 both
checking in with ctr and definitely was a flight for
both i figured they were in elements of 3.  Also heard
brief comms on 237.8 and 305.5.   They came in very
strong and i was glad i finally caught them enroute to
somewhere.
