       (#67-2251/CB) departs Nashville (KBNA) 257.8>
       360.7  

1205:  CUTLASS 44 (T-37B, #60-0096/CB) departs Nash-

       (#165400/AG-412) departs Nashville (KBNA) 
       257.8>118.4>, Memphis Ctr 132.1  (cleared to
       NAS Oceana, KNTU)

1730:  284.25, 275.35, 237.8--BLUE ANGEL A2A, common
       chat between the Blues.
                 (F/A-18A, NFFDS, Pensacola)

Also, JD or is it JB? (i believe is BA #5 LTCDR John D
Allison) was heard calling BERT (C-130T, FAT ALBERT)
on 305.5 to no avail.

1740:  255.4--Nashville Radio (FSS), BLUE ANGEL 4
       then switched to 122.55 (getting weather along
       route and conditions for NAS Pensacola, KNPA. 
       Reported flying at FL430 @ the time)

First time i've heard the Blues using masks.  Normally
when they come thru in the mid to upper 20's they are
using the standard microphone like they do at the
shows.  I guess being that high warrented them.  I
wonder how high up the F-18 can go without them.  I
know the cockpit is pressurized, but obviously up to a
certain extent.
